S.L. 327.696 Art. 14Coursework. 

(1) Marks obtained in the oral component of an examination during the Main Session shall be retained for the 

Supplementary Session.

(2) Coursework shall only be accepted if the coursework is designed and marked as per MATSEC syllabi and regulations. Fair marking necessitates the use of marking schemes.

(3) A Supplementary Session in the oral component shall be made available to all candidates who are marked absent for a justified reason in the Main Session of the oral examination, provided that they are either covered by a medical certificate indicating that the examination by the medical professional was not done later than the day of the assessment and submitted to MATSEC on the day of the missed examination or they are absent for a reason deemed valid by the MATSEC Board. Candidates who are absent for the oral examination in the Main Session without a valid reason shall not be awarded any marks and shall not be entitled to a supplementary oral examination.

(4) Coursework shall be marked out of 60 marks each year (Years 9, 10 and 11). The assessment for each year shall contribute 10% to the overall mark and shall be reported to the MATSEC Board by the school in Year 11. Therefore, each year shall equally contribute to the final mark of the coursework component.

(5) Coursework must be available for moderation as instructed by MATSEC.

(6) Candidates may be called for an interview relating to their coursework.

(7) The coursework assessment results awarded by the candidates’ schools must reach the MATSEC Board by the date specified by the Board.

(8) Coursework assessment results may be retained for five subsequent sessions of the Examination unless the respective syllabus states that the set coursework is no longer valid.

(9) Private candidates shall not be allowed to submit coursework.
