The results show that 17 performing Pinoy kids managed to prove their English competence by garnering High Distinction Certificates while the 80 others got the Distinction Certificates and 245 participants settled for Credit Certificates which bring to a total of 438 certificates. All students who participated will receive a UNSW certificate of participation as an acknowledgement of their achievements.

The ICAS English assesses reading and language skills in a range of contexts. The following aspects of texts are assessed and reported: reading for meaning in literary texts, reading for meaning in factual texts, textual devices, syntax and vocabulary.
