CARIBBEAN EXAMINATIONS COUNCIL

Guidelines for the Submission of Group and Electronic SBA Samples

Effective May/June 2016 examinations administration, two major changes have been made to
the processing of SBAs. They are:

 Submission of Group Work


 Submission of SBA Samples in Electronic Format
As a result of these changes, processes in the Online Registration system (ORS) have been
modified and the relevant instructions are provided below.
SUBMISSION OF GROUP WORK
Step 1. Selection of Group Type – (MANDATORY)
After candidates are assigned to teachers, the candidates MUST be classified as presenting
Individual SBA or Group SBA. The teacher must:
1. Log into ORS
2. Navigate to the SBA Assignment Type option in the SBA menu

SBA Assignment Type Selection


3. Select SBA Assignment Type. The following screen is displayed:

1
4. Select the centre, the teacher and the subject. The SBA Assignment Category Screen is
displayed:

5. A teacher cannot select both Group and Individual SBA for the same set of candidates for
a single subject. The teacher MUST either
a. select Individual SBA, if candidates are working individually. The teacher will then be
directed to the SBA Data Capture Screen; OR
b. select Group SBA, if the candidates are working in a group. A group must consist of
two or more candidates.
In this example, we will use two Mechanical Engineering Technology teachers. One, C.
Vassell, will select Individual SBA. The other, D. Medford, will select Group SBA.
6. Individual SBA
When Individual SBA is selected, the SBA Data Capture Screen is displayed. The teacher
may then input scores. (Go to Step 2: Input Scores)

7. Group SBA
When Group SBA is selected, the SBA Group Assignment Screen is displayed:

Box and select the number corresponding to the group to which the student is to be
assigned. E.g. the teacher would select Group 1 for all the candidates to be assigned to
Group 1.
In the example below, the first two candidates are to be assigned to Group 1

in one session and the others assigned later. When all candidates have been assigned, the

SUBMISSION OF ELECTRONIC SAMPLES
CXC moderates a sample of the SBA assignments prepared by the candidates. For each SBA
subject, one sample, usually consisting of the work of five candidates, is submitted by each
centre. The sample is selected based on criteria provided by CXC which is based on the scores of
the candidates at the centre. Assignments for the selected candidates may be uploaded so that
they may be moderated by CXC Resource personnel.

candidates in a centre while teachers can only view and manipulate information for their classes.
