Hundreds of students are turning to tuition centres to take mock mid-year examinations after all primary and secondary schools here
These centres said they organised mock exam sessions following strong demand from parents and students after the Ministry of Education scrapped mid-year exams for all primary and secondary schools from 2023.
Parents and students who opted to sit mock exams said it was necessary to take them to be better prepared for the high-stakes PSLE and O levels. Ms Vivian Hong, 38, who has a 12-year-old son taking the PSLE in 2023, said her son will be doing mock exams at Master Maths on top of the practice papers he does in school.
MOE said in response to queries that it is aware some tuition centres are offering mock exams for students, adding that exams are but one of the many avenues to assess learning progress. The ministry noted schools can provide timed practices that do not count towards academic results for students to build confidence and familiarise themselves with the format of the national exams.
