In order to enrich the MaRWA programme, SEAQiM developed new item banks of MaRWA for Year 5, Year 8, and Year 10 students. Each grade consists of two sets of items.
The items were developed on March – May 2016 and try-out have been implemented in some schools in Indonesia through both paper and pencil test and online test form on June – July 2016. The results were analyzed and the items were revised, and used for the next try-out on November 2016 in other schools in Indonesia. In the future, SEAQiM will move to have extended try-out and implementing the new items of MaRWA, and conducting MaRWA on line.
