hi ,


My son’s tutor who is an ex-sec math/eng school teacher tells me that the USNW papers that are given to our kids are one grade higher ( so a P3 gets a grade P4 + P3 paper to do with Whole yr Syllabus ).

The questions in the UNSW assessments are within our S’pore syllabus. ( MATH / SCI ) We find them unfamiliar bcos these are higher order questions, not the usual ones seen in the textbooks/workbooks. Such questions are common in PSLE paper. Hence it is a good start for our children to get an early exposure now.

my son did it in p3 and p4.


they get a certificate depicting credit or distinction… good for moral!

the kids find it challenging and fun…

For those parents whose kids sit for this paper, just to share a tip: you can check the results online at their website. Just key in your kid's student ID and PIN listed in the 1st result sheet given back. For eg. if your kid has sat for science paper and gotten back the results, you would have the ID and PIN on the result sheet. After he has finished the other papers (eg. Maths, English, etc), you can check online after some time (before results are given back) and you can see his other subject results listed.


A mummy told me and I went in to check my son's results. He has not received his English results yet, but I know his results from online. I decided not to tell him, and to let him find out for himself when he receive the results - don't kill that surprise element :lol:

Don't think so leh.

The following is from their website:
Entry into the International Competitions and Assessments for Schools (ICAS) can only be accepted from registered schools. EAA will only accept student entries from the school at which the student is currently enrolled.

TKS, Pen88n. I was wondering why the sch has not given out the recent results for Eng. DS took Writing earlier this yr, so I used the same ID & PIN to check...YES, now I know his results !! Glad that he did well though not Higher Distinction (top1%?), so later just hide the cert lah!
