Placement Tests
Primary
The current curriculum we supply to Australia market is used in Singapore schools, its a full colour edition and is the closest edition to the Australia curriculum. We recommended all student take the placement test prior to placing an order. This will determine what level each student will start at prior to making your first purchase. Once a student scores 80% or above on a test, this indicates that the student has a good skill level and to move to the next level. However, if a Maths concept is repeatedly scored incorrect, then it is recommended to start at that level.
The is no time limits on each tests and to take test in mornings when the student is fresh and ready, with a quite area to work at with no interruptions.
Suggested time for taking tests: These tests are not supposed to be timed. Allow at least an hour for each test.
The placement test is not the only factor in deciding where to place students. Educators should not base their placements solely on scores but should consider how students worked the problems and where they had trouble. For example, a student might do computation correctly but struggle with word problems. Educators can look at textbook tables of contents and go over parts of a corresponding chapter from previous levels to help students with specific topics. These tests were not designed to be exit tests. If you require digital access please request a full sample here
How to place a child after a test:
It is recommend to start a student in Part A of the level, even if your student scores above 80% on part A but under on Part B. Starting a student back to Part A of that level will give the student revision and in turns builds confidence and as well gets them ready in the methods of Signapore Maths so when they start Part B outcomes will be much easy to overcome.
Secondary
There are two academic streams available in high school: Express and Normal. Both follow the same curriculum; however, the Express stream is designed to be completed in four years and is suited for students who grasp mathematical concepts quickly and benefit from an accelerated pace. In contrast, the Normal stream spans five years, providing students with additional time to engage with the material and develop a deeper understanding at a more measured pace.
Once you have identified the most suitable stream for your child, we recommend requesting a digital access to determine the appropriate starting level. You will receive access to all levels within the program for a 14-day period, allowing you and your child to explore the materials and select the level that best matches their current understanding.
These digital access gives you all levels of the either series so you can fully look over the content and format. To request a full sample here
