Does anybody know when is Prelim?

We have not yet been informed. From the past papers, most are in Aug, I think.

Thank you, clay569. We got at least 1 month before PSLE to work on weak areas identified in Prelim

Does anybody know what is the best class for p6 in NYPS? I have asked in the NYPS forum but it is a bit lonely...

I attended NYPS more than 10 years ago, so I am not sure if it is still accurate.

Last time, the \"best\" class for p6 are those with alphabet behind. Classes range from A, to Q (excluding letter \"O\").
So best is N,P,Q (usually the GEP classes)
best for mainstream is \"J,L,K\".

by \"best\", I mean academic results. After many years in the education system, I have realised each child is different. There is no \"best\" child. Even those naughty child has great potential.

:thankyou:

[quote=\"ngl2010\"]June holiday is not really a holiday I just learned that DS must go to school on the 1st week and 4th week of holiday for supplementary lessons. Are all schools like that?

Yes. :sad:

Especially for P6... June seems like a revision catch up for prelim.

My dd has to go back for 4 days during 1 st week of June. 8 - 1.30pm.

During 2 & 3rd week, she has her science intensive revision lessons with her current enrichment centre. It is 10 days and 3 hours daily. EL tuition frequency will also increased. So June appeared to be a intensive revision time. No rest after SA1.[/quote]My boy's sch has not released any info on June programme yet.

He can skip showers and watch TV the whole day and I won't say a word. That has been his motivation for the past few weeks to study

that would sound wonderful to my dd too! plus can spend any amount of time on computer, ipad, wii etc without a peep from me.

i told my son to work VERY hard and he will be given 2 months to do anything he wished…play Wii, DS, Ipad, sleep till 9am, bathe and eat as per normal.

you may regret hor....
I also gave DS lotsa freedom to play and laze around after PSLE. (I laze together actually :rotflmao: )
End up, slack so much that to get him (more accurate is US) back on track took some time.....also, he was totally unprepared for Sec 1, quite ignorant of all the new subjects with only borderline passes for his first 'diagnostic class tests'.

For DD this year, learnt my lesson. Intend to only give her 2 weeks of total freedom after PSLE :evil: ......else she will really spend all her time eating and watching tv/drama/serial. While DD has complaint of 'unfair treatment', she has kinda agreed cos' I have explained the rationale to her
