  1. Which of the following BEST describes the role of the CAS coordinator in an IB school?

    Answer: Supporting students in planning, executing, and reflecting on CAS experiences

    The CAS coordinator guides and supports students through the process rather than grading or selecting activities for them.

  2. A student completes a marathon to raise funds for charity. Which CAS strand(s) does this MOST clearly represent?

    Answer: Activity and Service

    Running a marathon addresses Activity (physical exertion) and Service (raising funds for charity).

  3. How does CAS differ from a traditional community service requirement in other curricula?

    Answer: CAS emphasizes reflection, personal growth, and learning outcomes rather than just hours

    CAS is distinguished by its emphasis on intentional reflection and demonstrable learning outcomes, not merely accumulating hours.

  4. Which of the following is an example of a CAS project?

    Answer: A group of students organizes a month-long environmental awareness campaign at school

    A CAS project is a collaborative, well-considered series of sequential CAS experiences that must involve planning, doing, and reflecting.

  5. Which learning outcome focuses on a student's ability to identify their own strengths and areas for growth?

    Answer: LO1 – Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth

    LO1 explicitly addresses self-awareness about personal strengths and areas needing development.

  6. What does 'authentic engagement' mean in the context of CAS?

    Answer: Genuine personal investment and real-world interaction rather than token participation

    Authentic engagement means students are genuinely involved and affected by their experiences, not simply going through the motions.

  7. A student wants to count their paid part-time job as a Service experience. How should the CAS coordinator respond?

    Answer: Explain that paid work generally cannot count as Service because it lacks the voluntary, community-benefit dimension

    Service in CAS must be voluntary and benefit others without personal financial gain, so paid employment does not qualify.
