Apakah itu ICAS?

Assalamualaikum =)

What is ICAS?
Okay, maybe there's some people out there didn't know or even never heard about this, right?
(yang dah tahu tue, duk diam2 dan buat2 je tak tahu, aite? kekeke.. :p )
So, lemme explain ( briefly maybe o_O ) about this thingy..

First and foremost, you should know that I-CAS is an exam..
Yupp, you didn't misread it..
it is an EXAM..
I-CAS stands for International Competitions and Assesment School..
It is conducted by University New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia..

*tukar bahasa..eheh*
Actually aku baru tahu pasal I-CAS nie bila ada sorang teacher suruh budak2 yang dapat A dalam english test dalam exam lepas berkumpul..
Then she started explaining about this I-CAS.
Fyi, you need to pay the fee to take this exam..
(the fee may vary depends on your selected subject)
Tapi bagi aku berbaloi lah jugak..
Bukan saja dapat sijil peringkat antarabangsa,
*insert a round of applause here*
bahkan, dapat tahu tahap korang dalam menjawab soklan tersebut.. sebab setiap seorang candidate akan dapat report mengenai analisis prestasi masing2 selepas 2-3 bulan korang jawab exam.
*insert "wowww" here*

Err ekceli, kebanyakan soklan eyang ditanya korang tak pernah  belajar pon dekat sekolah, unless korang ada personal tutor @ korang belajar sendiri dalam Internet..(i know it is 1% of probability for us to do those things...huhu)
Mai nak habaq kat hangpa semua..
Korang ingat senang ke nak jawab semua soklan tue?!
Haiishh berpinar mata aku tengok soklan2 yang berlambak dan perlu dijawab dalam masa terhad semasa English exam..

And guess what, I think all the questions actually are specially made for the literature students..
Like seriously?!
I'm a SCIENCE student and I had to answer such questions??
Part yang paling aku tak suka(at least for me) ialah kewujudan petikan yang panjang2..
Aku tak suka petikan..BETUL2 tak suka :(
Homaiigadd..
PKBS (ujian bulanan sekolah) pon tak macam nie uolls..
Biasalah international punya standard kan

Frankly, I-CAS is quite not bad lah..
It might be a bit hard..
Tapi kalu difikirkan balik, bukan namanya EXAM kalau tak susah kan...
Susah2 dulu , senang2 kemudian    * tetiba
So, jangan sebab aku cakap it is quite tough, korang dah surrender awal2..
Yalah, aku cuma cakap agak susah SIKIT je tapi aku tak pernah cakap aku menyesal ambik
exam ni kan? Kan?
For me, it is worth it lah..
(for sure it depends on your preparation)

So, apa result yang kau dapat?

Err Yang Arif, boleh saya minta soalan ini dibatalkan? Huhu T_T
Oklah aku akan bagitau korang..
Tapi janji jangan bagitau orang lain ek..


*whisper* aku ambik I-CAS English  dengan I-CAS Writing..aku dapat CREDIT dalam English tapi dapat PARTICIPATION je dalam Writing..huhu *whisper*

Last but not least, seriously, aku sarankan korang  ambik exam I-CAS ini..
WHY??
Firstly, of course because of the INTERNATIONAL certificate..
Yalah, korang mesti tau kan yang tahap sijil yang tertinggi ialah sijil peringkat antarabangsa..
Tapi sayangnya, just a few students je yang ada sijil international..
Secondly, inilah golden opportunity kepada students2 yang tak berapa nak aktif sangat dalam kokurikulum untuk dapat sijil macam nie.. *macam aku
