International Competition And Assessment For Schools - Computer

In the beginning of the year, we were given an application to sign us (P2 to P6) up for the 2009 International Competitions and Assessments for Schools. There are 4 subjects to choose from (Computer Skills; Science; English and Maths).

According to the write up, the competition will help us gain a measure of our own achievement in an external assessment situation. It also gives schools and teachers a comprehensive report of results and parents helpful information regarding our performance.

We will receive a Certificate and Individual Student Report indicating which questions we had answered correctly as well as how we fare against the National Average.

Certificates are awarded as follows:

High Distinction - Top 1% of the entrants in Singapore

Distinction to the next 10%

Credit to the next 20% and

Participant to all other participating pupils.

When I gave mommy my certificate, she was very happy and surprised that I got Distinction given that I hardly use the computer beside playing computer games and writing in this blog.
