How can we ensure that the new assessment will not take up more time and energy for students and teachers, to achieve assessment outcomes?

usually MYE is a milestone check for all graduating classes on their readiness and ability to perform under exam conditions. Just wondering, how best to ensure that students are prepared, now that their major milestone will only be in prelims? and how to measure their ability to perform under exam conditions? as well as, their mental and emotional wellbeing in facing the major exam end of the year?

MYE serves as a good milestone check and a chance for students to sit down and attempt papers in a fixed time setting. It's honestly also a good respite for teachers to have that couple weeks of lull time.

Students will have more time to explore their interest in the subject areas- to read beyond, ask/research relevant questions

3 weeks are good for hands on activities.

Students might have difficulty adapting to rigor / duration of full length exams. May have issues dealing with stress of exam period

Students do not have sufficient experience of sitting down for an extended period of time for exams. This applies especially so for the graduating cohort.

Worried that graduating students do not have sufficient opportunities to sit through the entire duration of the assessment. It is not easy to manage the concentration level for a 2hr or 2hr 30mins paper.

This practice isn't new for Sec 1-3 D&T, FCE and Art. We have projects in place of the sit-in written paper for Mid-year which is in the form of alternative assessment.

Time management may become an issue.. so possibly school planned time for them to learn how to sit through n do a full paper especially subjects that are more than 2 hours.

Students, especially those from the graduating classes, will not have enough experience to how a full examination is like. The mental stamina required during a full paper is different and students sometimes also do not take timed practices seriously enough.
