The school starts her 2nd monthly test today and will last for three days (30 July)
There are two monthly tests in a year. The purpose of the monthly test is to allow the students to know how much they have learnt but more importantly a feedback to the teachers concerning the progress of their teaching and learning programme. In Penang Free School the students take their monthly test very seriously; for them every marks count. The total marks for each paper is only 80 which will be added to another 20 marks from their homework. Each paper was scheduled for an hour only.
