Fair, well-supported exams that bring out every student's best.
At St. Lawrence Academy, examinations are more than tests — they are milestones that mark each student's academic journey. We combine continuous internal assessment with structured formal examinations to give a full and accurate picture of every student's progress, understanding, and potential.
Students are assessed through a combination of ongoing classwork and formal examinations throughout each academic year.
Regular class tests, assignments, and coursework contribute to each student's overall grade, rewarding consistent effort and engagement throughout the term.
Formal written examinations are conducted at the end of each term across all subjects, testing students' understanding and preparing them for national assessments.
Students at key stages sit national examinations set by the Ministry of Education — the PLE at primary level and the SSCSE at secondary level.
Structured mock exams are held before national assessments to familiarise students with exam conditions, identify gaps, and build the confidence needed to perform well.
Science and ICT subjects include practical components, assessed through supervised lab and computer sessions as part of the overall subject grade.
Language and humanities subjects may include oral examinations and presentations, developing students' communication skills alongside written ability.
St. Lawrence Academy prepares students for the national examinations administered by the Ministry of General Education and Instruction of South Sudan. These are the benchmarks against which all students in the country are measured, and we take this responsibility seriously.
Our teaching is aligned to the national curriculum from the earliest years so that by the time students reach examination stage, they are thoroughly prepared — not only in subject knowledge but also in technique, time management, and examination confidence.
Primary Level: PLE — Primary Leaving Examination. Secondary Level: SSCSE — South Sudan Certificate of Secondary Education.
Dedicated revision timetables are provided before each exam period, with teachers running focused revision sessions covering key topics and exam techniques across all subjects.
Students practise with past national examination papers under timed conditions, helping them understand question formats and develop the pacing skills needed for exam success.
Teachers identify students who need additional support early and provide one-on-one guidance, targeted interventions, and extra practice to close gaps before the examination.
We keep parents informed throughout the exam cycle — sharing timetables, preparation tips, and student progress so that the home environment can support each student's efforts.
