      25hr mama:
      My dd's teachers told them they won't know their marks for Chinese & English Compo, is this the same for all schools?


      Will the kids be given some marks at least, even it is \"离题\"?

      & Sorry to ask again, anyone know what is \"STD DEV\" as stated in the report book? Thanks in advance. šŸ™‚

      Hi, am not a parent of Geppers, but allow me to answer your question on Std Dev.

      I believe it is the short form for Standard deviation, which is a statistical measurement of the spread ( or variability) of a set of data, in your case, the score , around a mean score of the entire cohort.

      The standard deviation measures how much - on average - individual scores of a given group vary (or deviate) from the average (or mean) score for this same group.

      If the scores are normally distributed, as is the case in most test measurements in the real world, then 68% of the scores will fall within one standard deviation, or one sigma, of the mean score.

      I think your child's school maybe trying to highlite to you her score relative to the mean score of the cohort.

      For the above to be valid, the sample size has to be \"big enough\", and the measurement has to be taken from random occurance, now, in the GEP environment, I m not so sure the test results are \"random\" enough for the mean/ standard deviation observation to draw any conclusion.

      Just my 2cents.

          Didn't know there is a paper for computing. Interesting but what is the purpose of taking this paper? Just for fun?!
          This is the info on Computing Skill from the website: The International Competitions and Assessments for Schools (ICAS) – Computer Skills assesses skills and knowledge in the areas of: [list]
        • operating systems and computer hardware
          networks and other communications systems
          word processing
          graphics and multimedia
          spreadsheets
          databases
          internet use and email programs
          programming (papers G and H only)
        • [/list]The use of technology in the classroom by students is embedded in the syllabus documents of all key learning areas and is most effective if it is taught in this context.
