Where it starts.

Each project arrives with its purpose, milestones and first tasks written out. Here is how the first three read.

CSEC SBA inventory across all your subjects

Most CSEC students carry between six and ten subjects, and most of them have a School-Based Assessment with its own shape: a lab book, a research project, a portfolio, a practical or a set of documents. Listing every SBA on one page, with its type, its teacher and when it starts, is the first step to seeing the real workload instead of discovering it one subject at a time.

First tasks

  • Write every CSEC subject you take or plan to take down one side of a page
  • Note beside each subject what form its SBA takes, from your notes or the teacher
  • Add the teacher's name and the year the SBA starts for each subject
  • Pin the finished inventory inside the front of your SBA master folder

Reading the SBA section of each current syllabus

Each CXC syllabus has a section that sets out its SBA: what the candidate must produce, the skills assessed and the criteria the teacher marks against, and revisions to a syllabus can change those details. Reading that section for every subject, from the current edition on the CXC website, means your plan rests on the rules your work will actually be marked by, not on what last year's class remembers.

First tasks

  • Check the current syllabus and timetable on the CXC website and note the paper format for each subject
  • Download the current syllabus for every subject that has an SBA
  • Copy each SBA's marking criteria into its subject folder
  • Note any length, format or group-work rule in the syllabus's own words
  • Recheck each syllabus edition at the start of the school year @recurring(yearly)

Master SBA calendar for Fourth and Fifth Form

SBA deadlines are set subject by subject, so a student can have a lab book check, a business research draft and an English portfolio piece due in the same week without anyone noticing until it arrives. One calendar holding every internal SBA date, from topic approval to final hand-in, turns those surprises into visible weeks you can plan around.

First tasks

  • Collect every SBA date from handouts, class group chats and teachers' notes
  • Enter each date on one calendar labelled with subject and stage
  • List the subjects with missing dates and ask those teachers this week
  • Copy next month's SBA dates onto the calendar at home @recurring(monthly:28)

Make it yours.

Install CSEC SBA Planning Across Subjects, then tell Aurum the date you're aiming for. It checks whether the plan fits the weeks you actually have.
