SINGAPORE: A total of 238 students from four junior colleges who sat for their GCE A-Level examinations last year had part of their H2 Chemistry answer scripts stolen in the United Kingdom, before the papers were delivered to the examiners.
The affected students, who received their results on Friday, have had their final grades adjusted, the Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB) revealed on Friday (Feb 23).
The students are from Anderson JC, Anglo-Chinese JC, Hwa Chong Institution and Nanyang JC.
The stolen scripts were for Paper 3, which consists of free-response questions and carries a weightage of 35 per cent of the entire H2 Chemistry examination.
The H2 Chemistry exam consists of four papers – Paper 1 which has multiple choice questions, Paper 2 which has structured questions, Paper 3, as well as Paper 4, which is a practical assessment. The 238 students make up about 3 per cent of the 8,843 school candidates who took the A-Level Chemistry exam at H2 level last year.
HOW THE PAPERS WERE STOLEN
The theft occurred on Nov 16 in the UK while the exam answer scripts were in transit from Cambridge Assessment’s office to the examiner for marking. A parcel containing the scripts – 60 each from Anglo-Chinese JC, Hwa Chong Institution and Nanyang JC, and 58 from Anderson JC – was stolen from a locked courier company van, along with seven other unrelated parcels. -

Our country's going downhill so better equip kid with a degree from renowned university overseas which offers him/her some flexibility in getting decent jobs overseas. That's the best parents can do for kids to secure their future. -

Duh ... you make those parents who have no means to send their kids overseas look like they are not doing their best. Not everyone has the financial capacity like you do.
