Bit of a different question. If one does a search for "specialist mathematics exam , Victoria" ...Up will come recent exam for the highest level math we do in AU secondary schools.

So here is my question....how do I obtain an example of equivalent math exam here for Thai.

Clearly I need it in English...thanks if anyone can help

Good luck finding O-Net and A-Net papers, or GAT and PAT papers. I think I found a sample O-Net paper many years ago. I haven't found any and have looked over a long period of time. The government seems not to like to allow these papers to be viewed after exams, unlike HSC or the Victorian papers, which are all downloadable from the net. I suspect in the Thai papers, many questions are reused or very similar to previously used questions.

If you just need information about higher maths in Thailand, you can check the Thai books that students use here. They are clear enough to outline the topics. I've only ever been given the basic education curriculum (core), and have never seen an elective curriculum. I only know what topics are taught by looking in the Thai books.

Thanks culicine....find all that remarkable....Not big noting ...nothing like that....but I was involved in writing the exams in Vic and also involved with others in what's called "examiners review" ....pointing out misinterpretations of questions and incorrect presentations of answers with defined domain etc for example. This is necessary to continually improve....

Surprised Thailand are not similar....

ONET exams sometimes get a lot of flak in the media because there are some absolutely ridiculous/vague/ questions which are included. The students remember the worst few questions and report them to the various news outlets etc.

If the entire exams were open for scrutiny, too many people might lose face. Also then it's be easier to study for the exams, since they probably reuse some questions.

I've seen some of the questions from the English exam. I'm not surprised that that Thai students have a national average of about 20% for English.

In 2012, I think the only national average above 50% was in PE, with Maths/English around 20%, Sciemce/Art around 30% and the others in the 40s. Considering it's multi choice, the results are pretty amazing lol.

One of the things I would do as a teacher if I do decide to move to Thailand is teach higher level Math. I mean starting at algebraic equations, then differential calculus, integral calculus, etc. what we in the USA would call calculus 1 and 2 or the freshman years in engineering school. I have a BS in engineering and a MS in math. I have taught a bit and I am fairly current and use my skills in my daily engineering jobs. I really would not want to teach English, but math or science yes.

Wot, no Fourier analysis or Laplace transforms?

I don't think many universities teach differential equations, so I doubt my Laplace transform skills would be in much demand.
