The main aim of the group is to ascertain the academic standard of the school. The standard of measure they use includes analysing six subjects: History, Geography, Mathematics, Science, English and Hindi. The exam maximum marks for each subject are: History (75), Geography (80), Mathematics (120), Science (150), English (75) and Hindi (50). As part of the programme to widen access to the community the school hires a Hindi language teacher to teach the children Hindi if they wish.

MEDIFYQuantitative Reasoning question 2 of 36From 1975, the IAAF accepted separate automatically electronically timed records for events up to 400 metres. Starting January 1, 1977, theIAAF required fully automatic timing to the hundredth of a second for these events. Below are tables showing the world record progression for the 400 metres.

Jim Hines’ October 1968 Olympic gold medal run was the fastest recorded fully electronic 100 metre race to that time, at 9.95. Track and Field News has compiled an unofficial list of automatically timed records starting with the 1964 Olympics and Bob Hayes’ gold medal performance there.
