Izzaty's ICAS maths result

ICAS - International Competitions and Assessments for Schools is conducted by the University of New South Wales, Australia.

As stated in ICAS website :

The International Competitions and Assessments for Schools (ICAS) Mathematics assesses students’ skills and knowledge across five strands:
• Algebra and Patterns - Involves patterns of numbers, relationships between numbers and the use of symbols to stand for unknown or variable numbers.
• Chance and Data - Involves mathematical treatment of data and statistics.
• Measures and Units - Involves properties of the physical world that can be measured, the units used to measure them and the process of measurement.
• Number and Arithmetic - Involves types of numbers, their properties and number operations. The strand has strong links with Measures and Units, Algebra and Patterns and Chance and Data. It also has some links with Space and Geometry.
• Space and Geometry - Involves the properties of two-dimensional and three-dimensional space.

Izzaty sat for the exam a few months back and got her result recently. 

As per stated in her cert... she only got 22 out of 40 correct. Doesn't sounds good... but at least it is a CREDIT ;) Walaupun tak dapat distinction, I think for a beginner, she did well.... and surprisingly her score was in the TOP 29% of form 1 participants.... So, we should be thankful kan... alhamdulillah :)

Apparently, the result is based on this :

High distinction Certificate
·         The top 1% of entrants in each year level in each participating state (Australia) and country. 

Distinction Certificate
·         The next 10% of entrants in each year level in each participating state (Australia) and country. 

Credit Certificate
·         The next 25% of entrants in each year level in each participating state (Australia) and country. 

Participation Certificate
·         All other students receive a Participation Certificate.

One of her friends got distinction in the exam... such a genius girl!! She is the only girl in form 1 TKC who got distinction in the Maths ICAS exam. A few girls got credit (including Izzaty) and a few more got participation cert. Not sure about the school ICAS English score as my daughter was only selected for the maths paper...

Well, let's try harder next year yah! ;)

I'm still proud of you my girl ;)
