NEA (Non-Exam Assessment)

Non-Exam Assessment (NEA) refers to evaluated work completed outside of traditional exams, such as essays, projects, or practical tasks. It allows students to demonstrate their understanding and skills over a period of time, often including research, planning, and presentation components. NEAs are structured with clear guidelines and assessment criteria, providing an alternative way to assess competencies beyond timed exams. They are common in many educational systems and subjects, offering students the opportunity to showcase their mastery in real-world, applied, or investigative contexts.
