    To ensure satisfactory progress in the basics, there will be standardised testing in English and maths in 2017. This year’s entrants will miss the standardised tests. Next year’s new entrants (in 2015) will be the first to sit the tests when they are in second year. Standardised testing in science will be introduced for second years in 2018. Parents will get results of these tests, and they will be monitored nationally.

    What is the story with these tests? Do the go towards the final JC grade? Any sample papers or details on format?

    Apparently they'll be 'noted' or something. Meaning they will be given on a report card but will not go towards our results. That's what I've picked up on as of late, but I'm sure someone else will know more regarding what's really going on.
