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. |
