HYPS has one BIG advantage: only 3 days of exams each time. Most schools have 4 days.

Because my daughters have studied in another school before, I can tell you exam periods are much less agonizing for HYPS kids as well as their parents. Why?

1. General Studies is not in the exams. It is assessed through projects, presentations and quizzes throughout the term. Quizzes on the text book will only cover about 3 chapters each time. This point is particularly important in higher grades. For other schools, parents need to spend most time helping their children prepare for G.S. in exams.

2. "Dictation" is not in the exams or on the report card. For most other schools, "Dictation" is a vital part of their exams. Because most students can do it well if they revise hard, it's very stressful. There are usually over ten chapters of text to revise and if you make a mistake or two, your grade will easily fall to B or C, esp for those schools who give 'A' to e.g. the top 25%, instead of giving 'A' to an absolute mark, e.g. 90 or above, like HYPS.

3. In the Chinese subject, HYPS tests the students' application of the language. Not many chapters of the textbook are in the syllabus of each exam. The syllabus of some schools covers from chapter 1 to the end of the text books and even includes long questions asking about the contents of the story/poem/prose of each chapter. For HYPS, we only need to revise 詞語 and make sure we know how to apply them.

In short, although HYPS is demanding, minimal copycat type of homework is given. The children really need to use their brain to do the homework. Emphasis is put on continual assessment of the child's daily work and learning, instead of 2 big exams in each term. Therefore, as parents, we're comparatively easy and less stressed during exams. If your daughter studies in HYPS, you'll surely get envying looks from your friends when you tell them your daughter only has 3 days of exam and you don't need to help her revise tens of chapters of text for G.S./dictation.:loveliness: :loveliness:

時事評估的目的不是背誦或者死記時事，只要你每天讓你的女兒看電視新聞（當然是留心地看），就會大部份題目都識答。低年級的時評是選擇題，其實只要對社會大事有點印象就很容易答對。我把時事post出來，協恩家長知道時評的形式，只會臨考時看一看加深印象；怎料嚇壞其他想插班的家長，真是始料不及！

話說回來，女兒六年級的題目也有一半我沒有tip中（即沒有在這裡post出來），一題是立法局主席是誰，兩題是關於施政報告的，但她自己識答，因為剛去完立法局參觀，而且學校有一些時事的壁報版，她自己去看看就識答了。其實這個評估就算答錯了一些也不很要緊的，因為只是常識科各樣評估的一部份。

不過有五年級家長說看了post出來的時事，知道停車不熄匙要罰320，就答對了，很高興。所以下學期如果有時間，還會繼續把時事post上來給大家看看。

TWMa,

多謝你的回覆. 其實由cheungll開了”時事評估”這topic及發覺阿囡好喜歡現在的官立小學後, 我心裡好矛盾, 時常想上bk問多些關於插班及協恩的問題, 但又覺得自己好傻, 都未開始申請插班, 已經顧慮太多問題. 剛 ...
