All candidates are assessed according to the same marking criteria, to ensure that the grades and examination certificates have the same validity for all candidates.

Hence, AA must not provide candidates with an advantage over the others and compromise the assessment objectives.

When evaluating AA applications, the primary considerations are the assessment objectives, student’s medical conditions, how the student typically learns and functions in the classroom, and the school’s observations. Additional inputs such as recommendations from doctors and medical professionals will be taken into consideration during the review. This approach ensures that the approved AA is both appropriate for the candidate and fair to all candidates.
