Each semester is out of 50 Marks: Formative Assessment 1 is 20, Formative Assessment 2 is 30. The total of each subject is 100.

Brief Account about types of ASSESSMENTS
Assessment is the organized foundation for making interpretations about the learning and growth of students. It is the process of defining, selecting, scheming, collecting, analyzing, deducing, and using information to promote and develop students’ learning and development.
QHIS Assessment Framework and Grading System comprise of a varied assessment segments, namely, formative & interim, and summative assessment.
What is formative assessment?
Formative assessment denotes to a wide range of methods that teachers use to assess student’s learning needs, and academic advancement throughout a lesson, unit, or course. Formative assessments enable teachers to detect concepts which learners are trying to understand, skills they are having difficulty attaining, or learning standards they have not yet accomplished so that modifications can be made to lessons and instructional techniques that improve the academic achievement.
The main goal of formative assessment is to accumulate thorough information that can be used to expand instruction and student learning. What makes an assessment “formative” is not the strategy of a test, technique, or self-evaluation, but the way it is used—i.e., to inform in-process teaching and learning adjustments.
An interim assessment is a category of assessment largely used to evaluate where students are in their learning development and conclude whether they are on track to performing well on upcoming assessments. An interim assessment may take account of frequently assigned evaluations used to measure students’ progression, (Interim assessments are carried out occasionally during a course or school year (for example, every six or eight weeks).
Summative assessments are used to evaluate the academic achievement at the conclusion of a distinct instructional period—basically at the end of a course, semester, program, or school year.
Generally speaking, summative assessments are defined by three major criteria:
The assignments, tests, or projects are used to identify whether students have learned what they were expected to learn.
Summative assessments are given at the conclusion of a specific instructional period, and therefore they are generally evaluative, rather than diagnostic
