O Net exams. What are they?

[JeffersLos]

My neighbor's son just went back to school to start Prathom 6, his mother came over and asked if I could help him by going through some O Net exams papers some weekends because he has O Net exams at some point towards the end of the school year. Apparently they they have O Net after school classes for an hour every day, but that could be a translation error.

 

I have never heard of O Net exams before.

 

What are they?

What subjects are they tested in?

When is it?

What do the results mean or go towards? (their high school entrance for example)

I thought they did P6 exams at the end of P6 that sees them be accepted into high school, do they still do these too?

 

Thanks.

I dug this up from the past! 
I hope it helps.

ONet exams are nationwide standardized exams in multiple subjects (Thai, English, Math, Science, etc.) that are taken by all students in P.6.  Their admittance to high school is partly based on their ONet scores. 

 

During M6 they will take the ANet test which may be used for admittance to universities, though many universities don't use the ANet, but instead require incoming students to take the university's own test.
