One of the most important questions for parents regarding their child’s education is always, “How is my child doing?” A related question is, “Compared to what?” This is a particularly critical question for families away from home where it is hard to know how systems and standards compare. It is difficult for international schools to address these questions in a really substantial way without access to a form of external assessment normed on international standards.
To meet this need, ABIS will be administering The International Schools’ Assessment (ISA) on Sunday, February 19th and Monday, February 20th for children in Grades 3 and above. Please make sure your child is well rested for the exam by going to bed early the night before. Also, a healthy breakfast on exam mornings will help your child concentrate and perform their best on the test.
The link below includes answers to some frequently asked questions about the ISA Exam. If you have any additional questions about the ISA, please feel free to visit the websites of PISA (www.pisa.oecd.org) and/or ACER (www.acer.edu.au), for further information.
