How is the mark calculated in Correspondence Study?
In grade 9–12 courses, marks are calculated as follows: Lessons, assignments, investigations and assessments (60%) and final course exam (40%) count for 70% of the final course mark. Thirty per cent (30%) of the final grade is taken from the Nova Scotia Examination mark. Note: Students enrolled in correspondence study high school courses are required to write a Nova Scotia examination in addition to the course assessments/examination provided by the marker. The Nova Scotia examination mark is 30% of the final mark. The Grade 7 and Grade 8 final mark is calculated using an average of lessons, assignments, investigations and other assessment instruments provided the marker.
