SINGAPORE – Hundreds of students are turning to tuition centres to take mock mid-year examinations after all primary and secondary schools hereMany of these students are Primary 6 pupils and Secondary 4 students who want more test-taking experience ahead of national exams and wish to gauge their academic progress so far, tuition centres told The Straits Times.
Learning Journey Education Centre, which offers English tuition for pre-school, primary, secondary and JC students, received 80 inquiries for PSLE mock oral exam practice so far in 2023 – a 20 per cent increase from 2022. It charges $95 per mock oral exam session for clients and non-clients alike. MOE said schools will continue to use a range of assessments and activities to evaluate students’ learning progress.
“Since I’ve done one round of full revision, I would be less stressed leading up to the preliminary exams and O levels as I have a better sense of what I need to improve on.” Associate Professor Jason Tan of the National Institute of Education said he understands why parents want their children to be familiar with the exam-taking experience.
MOE added that schools have shared positive feedback following the removal of mid-year exams, such as having more time to design and provide a wider variety of learning experiences based on students’ needs.
