Assessment of CAP1
Assessment at CAP1 comprises a blend of continuous assessment and traditional examinations. An overall mark of 50% will be required to pass each paper (combination of continuous assessment and examination).
The introduction of continuous assessment is in recognition of the fact that certain skills are better assessed outside the traditional end-of-year examination format.
Candidates are advised to consult the relevant examinations publications for specific regulations governing the operation of continuous assessment and examinations. In particular, students should note the requirement to pass the double-entry book-keeping continuous assessment prior to being permitted to sit any of the CAP1 examinations.
For 2020-2021, CAP1 assessment consists of the following:

This will include your exam notification letter with your exam number which must be presented during registration each day of your exams.
Number of attempts
Students may make a maximum of six attempts over three consecutive years. The first sitting will normally be made at the summer session. If a student does present or defers a sitting, this sitting will be classified as a forfeited attempt.
Adjudication of results
- Candidates are required to pass each subject independently.
- In order to pass each subject, the candidate must achieve a minimum of 50% or better (based on amalgamation of any applicable interim assessment component and the examination paper)
- Independent passes in each subject are referred to as credits. Where a candidate obtains a credit in every subject in the combination of subjects sat, his result will be adjudicated as Pass.
