Methodological recommendations
for Summative Assessment
“Physics” (advanced level)
Grade 11


Methodological recommendations for Summative Assessment are designed to assist
teachers in planning, organizing and carrying out Summative Assessment in “Physics” for the
Grade 11 learners. Methodological recommendations are aligned with the Subject Program and
Course plan. Summative Assessment in Grade 11 is conducted in Terms 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Summative Assessment Tasks for unit/cross curricular unit will allow teachers to
determine the level of the learning objectives achievement planned for the term. Methodological
recommendations comprise tasks, assessment criteria with descriptors and marks for conducting
