MOE Test for P1

[vividlaurel]

I'm glad I was given the link to this topic here. My DD and DS also went through this test (P1). DS was able to complete it and DD said she could not do the E section.


Glad to hear that this is some research that MOE was doing. Initially I was worried that they had started the streaming and labeling process right in P1 itself!

Thanks Blurbee for this link.

my ds also went thru this test. According to his teacher, she said moe is data gathering how is the p1 math standard, result will be kept confidential.

They were given half an hour to complete a green booklet that contains 5sections, each section have 12questions, so total 60questions. All MCQ bt have an answer sheet separately for them to shade the correct answer.is The kind of questions are v similar to whats being mentioned in this post. My DS couldnt complete complete all, think he said left about 7questions, and the last section questions are super difficult.

After reading, I start to feel worry. I didnt even heard of my DD saying anything about this at all.

IMHO, there is nothing to worry about.


Not all schools and students are picked for this test. I believe it is for MOE to monitor the academic level of Pr1 students so as to aid their planning. The result will not affect the child taking the test in anyway.

If I'm not wrong, the test this thread is referring to is the School Readiness Test (SRT)?


My girl will be in P1 next year and we are already informed on this.

The principal told us that the test is for Eng and Math. Those students who do not meet the appropriate level for their age, will be selected for support group. :roll:

MOE has been doing this type of test for many years. They are trying to gauge the overall standard of the pupils. From my understanding, different levels are tested randomly in different years. One of my students told me that it was a surprise test so that the pupils would not be able to prepare for it. In fact, my student told me that most of her friends decided to purposely do badly in the test cos they thought that if they did well, MOE would raise the standard. My student thought that she and her friends were doing their juniors a favour.
