ICAS is an internationally-recognised academic competition that motivates students and encourages them to be their best. But the results data is also filled with rich insights into their strengths and weakensses, which you can use to inform your lesson planning for your Grade 10 I students.
The Grade 10 I tests are written by experienced teachers, education measurement experts and psychometricians, who use the curriculum as a guide during their creation.
