Getting into Kuen Cheng High School isn’t an easy feat.
With almost 1800 students competing to get a chance to
study here, it’s no wonder the 2023 Junior Middle One
Placement Test had the highway outside the school flooded
with cars and mental support from parents.
On the 1st of October 2022, Kuen Cheng High School
welcomed primary standard six students from schools far
and wide to partake in the placement test, with the subjects
Chinese, English, Malay and Mathematics being accounted
for.
Students were told to arrive before 7:30 a.m. and check
their allocated exam hall before finding the classroom for
their test. As students filled in from the school entrance,
the Prefectorial Board, Police Cadets, Hostel Students and
teachers helped to direct them into the school blocks and
exam halls.
The placement test started at 8:00 a.m. with the Chinese
subject followed by English. The students were then given a
break from 9:45 a.m. until 10:15 a.m. with Milo drinks and
bread provided by the school as a snack. The test resumed
with the subjects Malay and Mathematics.
As the placement test ended at 12:00 p.m., parents started
flooding the school compound. The students left the exam
halls and made their way out of the school soon after.
So, dearest primary standard six candidates, how did the
placement test go? We hope it went well! We wish you all
the best. Can’t wait to see you in Kuen Cheng High School
next year!
