PT3 - English
I will first explain about the different parts of PT3 (Pentaksiran Tingkatan Tiga) papers before
scrutinising one by one. So there are FOUR parts to the English paper. Listening, Speaking, Reading
and Writing. All the four skills will be tested.
Written Paper will be conducted in October 2015. There are 5 written papers for PT3. Since it is a
school based assessment, the school will set the assessment timetable. Hence, it will be different for
each school but every school must start and finish the examination on the given dates.
Duration of the whole paper : 2 hours

Students will be given a passage, read and transfer the information into the graphic organiser given.
Marking scheme:
1 mark given for every right answer. Students are not allowed to paraphrase the answers. They are
supposed to TRANSFER the information required FROM the text to the graphic organiser.
For example:
If the phrase that the student is supposed to transfer is 'gain knowledge' but the student wrote, 'get
knowledge' (This is acceptable - minor grammatical error)
If the phrase that the student is supposed to transfer is 'do well in school' but the student wrote,
'score good marks in exam' (This is wrong - paraphrasing)
However, if students change the grammatical structure of the phrase, for example:
If the word given in the text is 'businessman' but students wrote 'businessmen' (This is acceptable
- a matter of singular and plural) OR 'read books' instead of 'read a book' (This is acceptable article)

i. The first part is TRUE or FALSE questions. (Always encourage students to write TRUE or
FALSE).
However, if students still insist in writing T or F or give a 'tick' symbol and an 'X' as their answers
at the end of the day, it is still acceptable.
BUT If their answer is 'Yes' or 'No', then it is unacceptable.
Followed by questions which require students to write the answers. The answers do not need to be a
complete sentence. As long as the key words are there, marks will be awarded.
For example:
e) Where can tourists go to visit museums?
Answer
: Penang
It doesn't need to be : Tourists can go to visit museums in Penang.

You are NOT encouraged to ask your students to lift the answers from text directly although the
points may be available on the text. This will pull their marks down. However, when I was attending
the course, marks for this section is not given yet. Hence, we marked according to the band first
while waiting for them to finalise the marking scheme.
This is the descriptors that we receive during the course and I have put in the marks according to the
descriptors.
