[quote=\"dyh\"]I found that the ICAS standard is very high...especially for English it is higher than PH standard. For MA and SC, also quite challenging. So I let my son take them for exposure.

Not too sure abt the std, but am quite sure the scope of MA and Sc is beyond our classroom coverage at the time of sitting for these tests.

So to do well, can print sample copies of the ICAS test papers from the official ICAS website or buy from the S'pore ICAS branch (think it is International Plaza).

http://www.eaa.unsw.edu.au/etc/about_icas[/quote]I had printed a few sets of samples from this website for my dd to try before exams. I assume they are samples and usually sample papers do not depict the real standard of the actual papers, so will the actual papers be set at a different level of standard? More difficult? Can any parents whose kids had taken verify? The passages for English paper are of good standard, and the questions are ok, Math is fine. I had not let her try Science yet.

I have reason for saying that. I rem many moons ago, when this thread started to move at rocket speed, I read that he knows dunno dunno who in the school and offer to ask abt dunno dunno what. Then....I recall he also organised something and asked parents to join him in school. Something like tat. I sped read and somewhere, I realised he was organising a dads' stuff, so came to know he is a dad. :lol:

Despite the vagueness of your message, I know exactly what you're saying cos I was here when it happened! Hahaha :lol:

I remember this too![/quote] :hi5:

Last week, she has purposely done whole set math paper, but her one classmate forced her to erase 2pages as she was specially mentioned by him those 2pgs was not hw...

One more, when she corrected her wrong answer but this boy did not allow her change... such small things happend many times...

Class bully existence...this is not acceptable !! :rant:

Lizhi, is this boy sitting next to your dd? I saw this boy during PTC. He is a petite boy with a lot to say. He also told my dd to not do this, or that. My dd retorted him that it' was not up to him to say so and brushed it aside. Tell your dd to shut him up once and for all. If not, request for a change of seat if she is really distracted by him.

Son complained that the portions of food sold in canteen is shrinking...by chance I read in the newspapers that other school canteen operators either increased prices or shrink portions. 1 piece of plain prata costs 70 cents. Advised son to buy something else if he's still hungry on days he has supplementary.

Yes, he is sitting next to my dd, many 'rubbish' topics... seems he likes to restrict others. I know my dd's character, she dont want offend her classmates, but i told her, she will lose herself if she listen to him. When my dd talk to me she will not take part in the ICAS, i suddenly came to realise, she lack of self judgement in order not to be hurt. I was worried and mentioned this matter to my dd1, so her elder sister, also explained to her how to handle the relationship with her classmate and emphasized she must take one ICAS at the dinner time of yesterday. This morning, I msn to my dd1, 'that is good, when you was talking with your younger sister yesterday, i was so proud of you, and she is so lucky she has your such perfect sister...'
Your advice is very good, i would like she will read your this post tonight. thank you, E3.

Agreed with E3, If he's too distracting, Request T for a change of Seat.
It is Normal Practice for T to seat a Talkative Boy next to a Quiet Gal. With No Reciprocating Partner, this will discourage him from distracting the Class during Lessons.

My Gal is Often placed Beside such Boys in the few years she's in PH, and has complaint about it to me occasionally.
She Just Ignore Him during such times, and Life Goes On ....
