Results and Grading
Overview
The results of the WISE Examination are released to the school and to the candidate through the Institution Management Portal upon completion of moderation. The results are expressed as a final subject grade and an aggregate score.
Final Grade Composition
The final grade in each subject is composed of:
- Internal Assessment — 40% of the total mark;
- WISE Examination — 60% of the total mark.
Aggregate Score
The aggregate score is the sum of the final subject grades across all subjects, expressed as a mark out of the maximum aggregate mark.
Bonus Marks
Bonus marks are additional marks awarded to a student's final score in the examination, in recognition of representation in sport, uniformed organisations, or co-curricular activity. Bonus marks are added to the aggregate score, not to individual subject scores.
The final percentage stated on the credential reflects the aggregate score after the addition of Bonus Marks.
Grade Point Average
The marksheet states the grade point average across subjects.
Grade Bands
The final grade in each subject is expressed as a letter grade, according to the following bands:
| Grade | Description |
|---|---|
| A* | Exceptional |
| A | Excellent |
| B | Very Good |
| C | Good |
| D | Satisfactory |
| E | Adequate |
| F | Not Achieved |

Conclusion
The results and grading system of the WISE Examination is designed to provide a reliable, uniform, and internationally comparable measure of a candidate's achievement. All results procedures not expressly set out in this portal must follow the Secretariat's official bylaws.
