谢谢。是不是澳洲大多数小学都参加呢，一般几年级开始啊？
评论
对，是ICAS
评论
一般学校都参加，应从3年级开始
评论
三年级开始就有了，只不过每个学校不同，有的四年级开始，学校统一报名的。比NAPLAN要难点。
评论
裸考最好。

Started Grade 2 this year, My son just did
评论
借地问一下，成绩什么时候出来？
评论
COMPUTER, SCIENCE已经出来了，SPELLING和WRITING应该快了，英文和数学要等到这个学期末甚至下个学期初。
评论
每个洲可能不一样的，我在墨尔本，学校通知是从三年级开始，而且只有英语和数学。上上周考英语，昨天才考数学。

ICAS now covers Year 2
ICAS now covers Year 2 This year, we have extended the International Competitions and Assessments for Schools (ICAS) to Australian students in Year 2. This exciting development brings the well-known benefits of ICAS forward to Year 2, creating an extra 12 months for teachers to diagnose students’ strengths and weaknesses in the subjects of English literacy and Mathematics.
Benefits of Year 2 ICAS
A rigorous independent assessment of students’ English literacy strengths and weaknesses
A rigorous independent assessment of students’ numeracy strengths and weaknesses
Download ICAS Year 2 Flyer
First independent chance to understand your students’ ability and performance – a whole year in advance of the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN)
Gives Year 2 students an opportunity to experience external assessments in the core curriculum areas of English and Mathematics prior to Year 3
Comprehensive online and hardcopy school reports for teachers to use as additional evidence when planning
A two page student report giving parents a glimpse at how far their children have come since starting school
Student Certificates that schools can present to encourage progress and achievement
Dates and Fees
ICAS for Year 2 students should be sat on the following dates. The entry fee and official sitting dates for these subjects are:
English $8.80 (incl GST) – Wednesday 31 July 2013
Mathematics $8.80 (incl GST) – Tuesday 13 August 2013
ICAS entries are only accepted from schools that have registered.
Structure of the Year 2 papers
English
ICAS English assesses reading and language skills in a range of contexts: reading for meaning in literary texts, reading for meaning in factual texts, textual devices, syntax and vocabulary. Students read a variety of age-appropriate texts, including extracts from picture books, novels, poems, letters, diary entries, as well as other familiar sources. The texts cover a range of topics and may include tables, diagrams, maps and other visual information. The Year 2 ICAS English test paper will have up to 5 texts, with 35 multiple choice questions relating to the texts and should be completed in 35 minutes.
Mathematics
ICAS Mathematics assesses students’ skills and knowledge across five strands: Algebra and Patterns, Chance and Data, Measures and Units, Number and Arithmetic, and Space and Geometry. The Year 2 ICAS Mathematics test paper will have 30 multiple choice questions and should be completed in 35 minutes.
Reports, Certificates and Medals
This year, University of New South Wales medals will be awarded to the top scoring Year 2 students if the cohort’s performance is sufficiently meritorious. All schools will receive comprehensive reports identifying the strengths and weaknesses of their students’ performance. Schools will also be sent student reports and certificates of achievement including High Distinction, Distinction, Credit and Participation which can be presented to students at assemblies or at other awards’ ceremonies.

谢谢分享！没分，打白条吧；）
评论
ICAS 以前是三年级开始考的，从今年二年级也可以开始考了。
按照朱版的说法，这个考试的题库有限，每年重复的很多，加上很多家长买往年的试卷和互相分享，这个考试成绩已经没什么含金量了。
以前小花生学校强制性的考数学和英文，今年就没有。所以我明年也不打算让他考了。
评论
原来是这样。学校发回来的newsletter 上说到这个考试，所以上来问问。版主是布里斯班的吧。昆州教育远不如其他几个州，教育方面的帖子实在是少。貌似ICAS每个州都考，觉得是否能以这个衡量一下孩子所在学校和其他州的差距，不过听你你这么说，看来不可行啊；）
评论
以前二年级也可以考. 只要学校同意可以考三年级的试卷.
评论
提问：
如果大家都有准备，那么如果有孩子不做任何针对性的准备，裸考， 还能在top 5% 的水平，是不是说明水平还可以呢？
评论
绝对可以！
评论
我是这样备考的，考前在书店买去年高一级的题做一下，eg，今年三年级，就拿去年4年级做
但我家的问T是经常忘了考试日期，结果儿子说今天Icas啥啥了，可买的题还 躺在抽屉里没做呢
评论
应该算非常好了吧
评论
高一级的题，是指ICAS试题吗，还是普通参考书。谢谢
评论
下回就不用买了。裸考。
既能省钱又能看看平时的水平。
评论
裸考到 top 5%， 当然算很好。
不过如果在昆州的话，也不能说明什么。昆州的成绩普遍太差了。以前小花生裸考时也能拿到 top 5%。
可是这个考试成绩没什么用，在昆州，申请私校，考 Brisbane State high 都不需要 ICAS成绩。学校也不重视。
所以明年我们是不打算浪费钱了。
评论
以为是全国排百分比的，其实不是的。谢谢 LS.
NSW的孩子，4，5年级还是可以参加一下，就当是参加模拟考了，热身。
Schools are assigned a reporting region based on the school's location so that the performance of a student can be appropriately compared to the results of all other students in the same region. Below is a list of the current ICAS reporting regions:
COMPOSITION OF Reporting Regions ABBREVIATION
New South Wales and Australian Capital Territory NSW & ACT
New Zealand & Pacific includes Cook Islands, Fiji, PNG and Vanuatu NZ & PAC
Queensland QLD
South Australia and the Northern Territory SA & NT
Tasmania TAS
Victoria VIC
Western Australia WA

排名是按各州来的。MM看一下报告就知道了，上面写着在NSW和ACT的top %。 Nsw,act 是一起排的。

裸考才是真的成绩
