Yes, son has 2 papers on one day...during a breakfast session, we were told that is expected for secondary school...but 2 is the max in a day.

For lower secondary,some schools don't practise this style as more for upper secondary as to prepare them for O level. Wonder how you kids cope ? It's tough to handle 2 subjects in a day for sec 1

it's very tough...esp if both subjects are 'heavy' ones. imagine having history and literature on same day. son has math and listening comprehension today...not so bad. anyway, it's almost the last day since it is art tomorrow.
have to remind him to tone down because younger sister's SA1 ends only on wed.

Maths and Science papers on the same day. DD does not think it matters cos she is supposed to be ready by now.


But drinking chicken essence on days with heavy subjects to maintain mental alertness.

2 papers on one day…some schools have frequent tests, so the mid year exam is actually some sort of revision. For son, he had 5 topics for history…tough in the sense with that source based questions section. Principal said 2 papers in a day is to build up resilience towards O levels.

Some schools only start in upper sec as sec 1 and 2 still adjusting to sec school life . Is the history modular?
