Examination

Masjid DQ, Kuala Kubu Baru

The rules for examinations too are not without controversy. One is the silly requirement for candidates to state their race and religion. This adds to the general unease and suspicion that such information would be used for sinister purposes. Get rid of that unnecessary data.

These examination bodies have not done any research to validate their tests. There are no longitudinal studies correlating students’ performances on these tests and their later college careers. Nor are there studies to validate the internal consistency of the tests, or correlating them with class performance. Similarly there are no detailed analyses of the questions to differentiate between the truly discriminative ones from those that are not. The best questions are obviously those that are answered correctly by the top scorers; the worse or least discriminative are those answered correctly at random. The only way to discover this is to subject each question to statistical analysis. Such analyses would help the examiners get rid of useless, non-discriminative questions and enhance the overall quality of the tests.

Examination bodies can do more than simply grade students and be their gatekeepers. The data they generate could help parents in making their choices; schools in monitoring their performances; and the ministry to guide where to focus its resources.

Assalamualaikum ! Salam Sejahtera (: semester pendek dah mula lepas ni boleh makan kat sini balik hee (: Dapat beli-belah kat sini (: Apa-apa pun, benda atas ni Tebaik ! Humm, ada lagi dua buah buku dalam Proses pembacaan Pesanan Buat Diri Meniti Jalan Suci Petikan lagu Kemarau DiHati Yang pulang pergi usahlah dirintih, doakan saja dikurnia sejahtera, apalah diratap dengan tangis keharuan, leraikan hiba pujuklah hatimu, pemergiananya iktibar buat mu, Mungkin penghayatan kita berbeza, tetapi bagi saya mesejnya ''Ingatlah Mati !" Orang yang dah pegi meninggalakan kita memang boleh diingati tapi tak perlu la nak merintih dengan ketentuan Ilahi. Mungkin ia menjadi iktibar atau suatu hikmah buat kita semua. *Tade kena megena antara hidup&mati Kalau bermain boling , tentu ada matlamat nak jatuhkan semua pin. Macam tula jugak kita punya hidup, kena ada matlamat, matlamat yang mampu bawa kita kearah Redha Ilahi. Sekian (,"(.")

The journey.

Running non-stop to gain knowledge There is something I would like to share and it is about my journey to gain knowledge. It starts when I was in primary school. Teacher gives me high expectation to excellent in examination. Whatever I do, it is for the sake of ‘A’ in examination. At last, I only get 2A instead of 5A but I accept it based on my effort.             When I jump into secondary school, I hope it will be a change, which is study for the sake of knowledge. It is totally wrong. In secondary school also, we were taught to get many ‘A’ to secure our future and we as a student accept all the advice. Teacher asks us to remember all formula, answer without knowing their ascent and we follow it blindly. After we got a result, it is still the same, we write on the paper what we remember, not from our own idea.             I am feeling lucky because in form 4, I was ...
