Sixth-Form Assessments (Klausuren in der Oberstufe)
A-level exams: Dates and Topics

We want you to get good marks!
The following files will help you to understand how your teacher evaluates your achievement.

• Your written texts will be marked based on this rubric: Bewertungsraster für kreative Schreibaufgaben in der Mittelstufe

• Your marks, e.g. in test, are based on percentages, as the following grid shows:

» This grid can also be downloaded: Marking scale (download file).

• Your points for participation in lessons are based on the criteria laid out in this file: Criteria for oral achievement

At the end of the year, written and oral marks count 50:50.
The mark for writing consists of course test about units (80 %) and other written work (20 %).
However, your oral mark will be more important when your teacher calculates the mark for your school report.

OCD Oxford Collocations Dictionary Online: http://llohe-ocd.appspot.com
a collocation is a combination of words in a language, that happens very often and more frequently than would happen by chance; thus, this dictionary tells you, e.g., which words are normally used with each other (to make, do + homework; or: to gain, achieve, attain, reach + a goal)
