As a rule, the students have the rights to present a maximum of four subjects in the second round of the tests and if they fail in one subject they will have to repeat the academic year .
The senior certificate external test is considered a supporting test for the role of the school and not an independent test. This is due to the belief that one sole test can not cover all the information and skills the student learned or acquired. This approach is based on the efficiency of the teacher and his ability to guide students through the academic school year toward deeper and richer teaching and learning, which may enable the teachers to classify the students’ educational level.
The role of the external test is to support the assessment process in giving more realistic and accurate picture on the level of the overall performance of the students and what they are capable of. This is a global trend that many countries started to adopt in their educational systems to reach maximum fairness and objectivity there is in assessing students capacities and potential and to measure their level of attainment accurately.
External tests basically facilities the comparison between schools, where the evaluation process reflects the teachers’ performance in teaching and school results for students performance showing the level of effort invested in developing education in the State of Qatar through knowledgeable practice to the initiative principles: Autonomy, accountability, diversity and choice.
