if u click on the link on the first page you will soon find out what the thread is about. There are a couple more threads about the evaluation system but I can't be bothered to search. Think one is from january 2010 and the other a month or so ago.

Why would anyone be in a hurry to find out the results?

Are we talking about the SAFEA FT Exam that we were required to "write" in late 2009?

The exam that asked questions like:

When the ancients left each other what did they leave as a souvenir?

A sallow
Peach branch
Yulan
Plum blossom

Would rainy weather affect your mood?

I could feel a little bit lost
No I could still remain happy
No my mood wouldn�t be impacted by the weather
It could make me feel nervous
It could easily make me into memory.

Do u think that respect is more important than food and clothes

No I sort of disagree with it
I think that solving the food clothing issue is the basis for the respect
Yes I kind of agree with it
Yes it is similar to the spirit vs. wuzhi.

Who is the current UN secretary?

Kofi Annan
Angela Merkel
Vladimir Putin
George w Bush

When exactly is it taken? I have so far heard nothing of this in my research concerning teaching in China (which is still in the initial stages.)


I just took my test last week and I head to China in a week...

The test isn't too hard I scored 80 & 89 on each respective part which I think is a good enough score ... PM if you need any help with teaching in China - I poured a lot of time into researching recently so might be able to give some pointers
Do you feel that you are a suitable teacher after that test? And, did you have to do the Psychological Assessment that was required before?

He is "fully certified".

Cool

Question 5:

What is a gerund?

A) A verb pretending to be a noun.
B) A personal name, as in "My auntie Gerundine"
C) A French policeman.
D) A flower.

The correct answer is D, it's a kind of flower.

I feel about the same after the test as I did before (is that question another part of the test?). And yes, I had to take the Psychological Assessment as well

I think what I said about researching on China may have been misinterpreted. I meant that I have researched different places, types of schools, what to look for in a contract, etc.

These were my favorite questions:

Psychological test:
How do you feel on an early autumn morning?
I would enjoy the cool weather in fall.
A lot of leaves may have fallen.
I won't have any special feelings.
It might be a little bit cool outside.
It might be draining outside.

Basic knowledge:
Which room of the house is most polluted?
Bedroom
Living room
Kitchen
Toilet

As long as you aren't draining within then things will be okay.

I have googled away about this - had no idea it existed. Have most people here had to do this or is it just certain places, i.e. state run establishments?

Yeah I'm a little lost as well. None of my potential employers have mentioned this to me.
