At this school, teachers give you a mark out of 10 during the term &#8211; this is known as the bimonthly exam. And at the end of the term you have your end of term exams which are marked out of 100.<\/p>\n<p>For bi monthly exams we recognize students that excelled in discipline and studies and students that showed good effort and improved performance.<\/p>\n<p>Also for bimonthly exams we have what is known as a <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">study plus<\/span>, you can achieve a study plus as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>if your mark in a subject is between 6.5 and 8.4 you get <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">1 study plus<\/span><\/li>\n<li>if it is between 8.5 and 9.4 you get <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">2 study pluses<\/span><\/li>\n<li>and if it is between 9.5 and 10 you get <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">3 study pluses<\/span>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>During the term teachers can also give you extra pluses for doing good deeds, assisting with something or however the teacher sees fit.<\/p>\n<p>So we add the study pluses you get from each subject to the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">extra pluses<\/span> to give us the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">total pluses<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>You can also receive <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">minuses<\/span> for not following instructions, being out of uniform being rude etc.<\/p>\n<p>So the minuses take away from the total pluses to give us the net pluses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So to be recognised &#8211; for forms 1 to 3<\/strong> you must have at least 12 net pluses and from this 12 at least 10 must come from study pluses.
