Beyond the curriculum

Problems students won't find in a textbook — applying what they know in situations they haven't seen before.

Built to reward thinking

Questions are written by experienced classroom teachers, education measurement experts and psychometricians — to stretch reasoning, not to test recall.

An international paper, a Malaysian benchmark

Students in more than 40 countries take the same paper. Your child's result is placed against other Malaysian students at their own year level.

RECOGNITION

How students are recognised.

Awards are given on how a student scores against other Malaysian students in the same subject
and year level. Every student who takes part receives a certificate.

For parents

Does my child's school take part?

Three answers without scrolling: what ICAS is, whether your school offers it, and what it costs.

Ask your school if they run ICAS — or ask us to approach them
Ask how your school collects payment
- Most schools: pay the school directly, nothing to do online
- Some schools: pay online — you'll need your school's ICAS School Code
