Year 10 students who wish to take the Bahasa Indonesia exam can sit for that exam in October. The other five subjects offered will be taken in the Summer session which will be in May/June 2012

To prepare students for the IGCSE exams, Stella Maris International School arranges 3 Mock Tests (one every term) to check their progress before they take the real exams. The results of the Mock Tests will be discussed with the students during lessons, enabling students to learn from their mistakes and hence improve the results. After the three mock tests, students will be more than ready for the real test since they will be familiar with the type of questions and how to provide the correct answers.
