Analysis of Final Examination (2011) 4.1. Overall Performance (see Appendix A) 4.2. Difficulties and Possible Solutions 4.2.1. Year 1 4.2.1.1. Most pupils have difficulty blending phonemes into words, thus resulting in poor reading. Teachers propose to introduce more activities for blending as well as creating more materials for this purpose. Materials may also be bought (items/materials are to be listed out for purchase). 4.2.2. Year 2 4.2.2.1. Pupils faced difficulty in examinations (particularly comprehension questions and sentence construction). Pn. Norzehan reveals Year 2 Bestari pupils struggle to construct sentences, whereas Pn. Norakmal believes Year 2 Cemerlang is able to read but is unable to comprehend what is read. 4.2.3. Year 3 4.2.3.1. Pn. Norlaila has difficulties conducting activities due to limited space in the classroom. Activities may be conducted outdoors or the teacher may carry out activities that require less movement. Teachers teaching Year 3 also add that pupils are not able to gain marks in the examination, as the questions set did not apply to the Year 3 KBSR syllabus. Teachers will propose to set own questions instead of purchasing from BUKTI. 4.2.4. Year 4 4.2.4.1. Year 4 Arif had difficulty with the objective questions (which include grammar, comprehension, etc.). Cik Myzatul Sarah explains that it is due to a number of possible answers. The teacher must expose pupils to more exercises with similar questions to teach pupils how to determine the BEST answer. En. Saravanan states that Year 4 Bestari has limited vocabulary.

The seven pupils that have failed (39% and below) will be given special attention in extra classes via the Mentor Programme. All pupils will be given more exercises with the UPSR format. Teachers will also do more drilling on vocabulary and sentence structures to those necessary. 4.3. Overall, Level 2 pupils performance is better than that of Level 1.

contribute both energy and time to achieve better performance for all pupils. 5. MBMMBI Programme 5.1. En. Saravanan explains that there must be a file for this programme.
