How to guide your child to handle KBAT questions?

来我们的JSP假期营吧! 让您的孩子做好迎战KBAT 问题。
Let's come to our S2 Garden Avenue Primary School JSP Daycare and Tuition Centre!


One of the main purposes of applying KBAT in current primary examinations is to groom our students towards having critical and creative thinking, with the ability to communicate effectively at global stage. This in turn will enhance Malaysia’s competitiveness internationally. KBAT, in Bahasa Malaysia stands for Kemahiran Berfikir Aras Tinggi. KBAT is born from Taksonomi Bloom which has four main stages: applying, analysing, evaluating and creating. This is also known as higher order thinking skills.

With these skills, it’s hopefully that our students are able to make comparisons and identify cause and effects base on his or her own view. At a given questions, students are expected to provide answers in various forms, new ideas and look at different angles. This is to breed creativity and to encourage them to think out of the box.

A sample of KBAT questions could be : The fox looks at the delicious bunch of grapes and wants to savour them. The fox jumps and jumps but could not reach the grapes. If you’re the fox, what would you do?

As observed in the above question, creativity problem solving is the core of KBAT. A student has to put himself or herself in the fox’s shoes and related to life experience to provide a logic solution (answer).

Another sample of KBAT questions could be : If you are given a string of 24cm, what is the largest surface from the different types of rectangular can you come up with?

A student should use all possible numbers to make rectangular which perimeter equals to 24 cm. Then, he or she needs to calculate the largest surface through multiplying the length and width.

All possible rectangulars:



 Answer is 6 cm x 6 cm = 36 cm².
