Examination System

DPS Schools use a balanced assessment system combining both summative and formative evaluations to provide a clear picture of student progress. Year-round assessments are complemented by comprehensive end-of-term exams, held twice annually for Grades 3-8. This approach ensures a well-rounded understanding of each student’s strengths and weaknesses.

Assessment for Reception to Grade 2:

  • There are no formal end-of-term assessments for Reception, Reception 1, and Reception 2, as these are informal with no written tests.
  • Grades 1 and 2 do not have end-of-term exams, but simple written assessments without grading are conducted.
  • First and Second Term report cards are issued based on students' progress throughout the term.
  • Formative assessments and student work portfolios are used for evaluation in these grades.

Assessment for Reception to Grade 2:

  • The merit-based exam policy includes two key components: coursework and examinations, with two major exams held at the end of each term.
  • First Term report cards are issued in January, and Second/Final Report cards are issued in June.
  • Assessments are based on assignments, projects, classwork, or group work, with the report reflecting the average of monthly assessments
  • Parents receive one intermediary assessment report per term—one in late October and the other in late March.

Reporting:

  • DPS Schools' end-of-term reports aim to positively impact students' attitude
  • Progress reports for Reception to Grade 2 are based solely on formative assessments throughout the term.
  • Reports for Grades 3 to 8 combine both formative and summative assessments.
  • The assessment mix follows the latest research on effective student evaluation.

Following rules apply for Term Examinations:

  1. Term-Specific Syllabus: Each term examination covers only that term’s syllabus, set by the school, and no weightage from the first term is carried over to the second term.

  2. Promotion Criteria: Promotion to the next grade is based solely on second-term results, with students needing a minimum of 50% marks or an ‘E’ grade in assessments throughout the year.

  3. Attendance Requirement: A minimum of 90% attendance is mandatory for promotion, though the Principal/Head may waive up to 15% in special circumstances.

  4. No Re-tests: There are no re-tests or re-exams unless under exceptional circumstances, in which case the re-exam must be conducted within 3 working days after the original exam.

  5. Final Results: Results declared at the end of the academic session are final and cannot be reconsidered, nor will answer sheets be shown to parents.

  6. Checked Answer Sheets: Students can review their answer sheets before the final result announcement, but parents are not allowed to see them. Any disputes must be submitted via an application.

  7. Positions Announcement: Positions are based on second-term results using a percentile system, with multiple students potentially sharing the same position if they fall within the same grade range.

  8. Exams Structure: Exams include objective type, short answer, and subjective questions, with different marks allocated based on question type.

  9. No Exams for Certain Subjects: Citizenship/Life Skills, Arts & Design, Poems & Stories, and Sports/Fitness do not have written exams.

  10. Practical Exams: Practical components for subjects like ICT, Science, and Tajweed are conducted before the scheduled theory exams.
