Hello,

The change to 35 marks for FA (Formative Assessment) exams in schools can be due to the following reasons:

  • Focus on Learning: It emphasizes continuous assessment, promoting regular learning and feedback over a single high-stakes exam.
  • Reduce Stress: A lower mark allocation helps reduce exam pressure on students.
  • Comprehensive Evaluation: It allows teachers to assess students' progress in multiple ways, including projects, presentations, and discussions.
  • Alignment with Curriculum: The shift aligns with educational reforms and the holistic development approach.
  • Balanced Weightage: It provides balanced assessment across various components of the academic year.

However, every school have their own formats and policies for Formative assessment.

Hope it helps !
