MUET and End of Year Exam for Lower 6
Filed Under School | Leave a Comment
This morning, I mentioned to my Lower 6 Computing students that the tentative date for the year end exam will begin from 14th September 2010. The official exam time table will be made known as soon as there are no further changes and after it has been approved by the Principal. I did not expect the casual mentioning of the exam date to be passed around so fast. Soon after the Computing class is over, news has spread that the exam will start on 14th Sept.
Well, I suppose many students are concerned about the exam. Good sign indeed. It shows that our students are aware of the importance of assessment in particular and their studies in general. After more than 4 months of studying in Form 6, it is time to gauge how much the students are able to understand the syllabus content.
There are two public exams to be held in October this year, that is PMR (5th Oct – 12 Oct) and MUET Speaking Test (12th Oct – 20th Oct). With that in mind, the year end exam date for the Lower 6 has been arranged to begin on 15th Oct 2010 and will last until 22nd Oct. The actual exam time table will be published in the school EDMS within a few days.
There are only four weeks left after the exam. The marking and processing schedule will be a little bit tight. Nevertheless it should be better than having the exam early and then left with seven weeks after that.
As for the MUET Speaking Test, a total of 271 students will be sitting for the test. Most of the candidates are the Lower 6 students with a few Upper 6 students who are trying to improve on their previous grades. There are two centers in this school and the test is expected to last for four days ie 12th Oct – 14th Oct and 18th Oct.
The MUET written test will be held on 13th Nov 2010 on Saturday. Unlike previously, this time around, the school intends to hold the written test in the classrooms. The main consideration for this change is the better sound effect if the listening test is held in the classroom. We will monitor and evaluate to see whether the change of test center for the written test is a better choice.
