Erm...can someone enlighten me on ICAS. What is the purpose and why are the students doing it and for which level? Totally blur here. :oops:


Plus P1 no CA right?

Hi Lock,

No CA 1 for p1 but there will be a mock text around apr. The student’s handbook should have the scheduled dates but watch out for the newsletter or leaflet as it gives the latest (updated) dates for important events,

There will be mid-year and year-end exam.

Kids in p1 will all go to p2 in the same class ie no sorting or grouping based on the results for p1.

ICAS is some kind of test for various subjects (note you have to pay but can use $$ in Edusave) that your kid may be keen to take during the school hours. Usually, quite a lot of kids will take say Math. Those who did not sign up for Math when the rest are taking will do their own things.

The test will be marked and then returned before the year ends. The result will show roughly your kid’s standard based on the overall standard; some kind of benchmark involved. Please take it as a pinch of salt (!) as it is not equal to your kid’s school exam result. My dd did very well in her Sc ICAS paper but poorly in her school exam!

We let dd took MA & Sc to gain some exposure outside the textbooks.

And my DS still haven't received his CA1 paper back yet!

I thought it should have been done deal way before the March school holidays and then they can move on to new modules in Term 2.....

Mine too; teachers probably start returning the papers on this Fri or even next week.
This year is really, really very late.
And next week, there will be a walkaton which probably means another school day down.
