My DD in Y1 too.
Her CT1 History and Geog results not good. Others subj still good. I think she doesnβt know how to answer as required yet. I am worried, but she said most of her classmates face the same problem and she will learn on her own.
Is it normal?
They took TRP CT1 exam, but from the Y1 booklet, TRP is non-examinable, so is the grade counted? -
Be a mom:
Hey y1 parents / student, I heard that just over CT 1 exam very tough?

Pardon me....what's TRP, i couldnt remember this subj when gal was in yr1...My DD in Y1 too.

If the subj is non-examinable, then it will not be computed in their GPA....
i would say that History's (and geog) results is like a roller coaster.....some current upper sec parents will agree wih me, right ?, esp History .....

Ya, feel like my heart just had a roller coaster ride. She was doing well for past assignments and mini tests for History and Geog, but I got a shock when I see her CT1 result - sitting on the borderline. Seems like they are expected to write a lot of essays, no more MCQ or short questions type.
Luckily, she still can get As and Bs for other subjects to balance it.
TRP is Thinking and Research Skills Programme.
She is still adjusting to the long hours in school and 5-6 hours of sleep which is not enough for her. She used to sleep for 8-9 hours in Primary Sch, so now every weekend, she will sleep till 10-11 am to re-charge.
Donβt know how to help. Any advice? -

If possible, get yr girl to book a consultation with the teacher-in-charge to go thru her mistakes in her paper,
whether the problem lies on content or skills .....
Btw, are u going for the PTM to meet the subj teachers?
Deprive of sleep is very very common amongst these IP students....
Getting 5-6 hrs is considered a norm....
When there are days which have lighter workload, i will hurried my gal to go to bed as early as possible,
yes, must chase her to sleep .... :slapshead:
as most often, when there is sparetime, she will spend on FB, instead of rest (i think same goes for most teens)
They have to learn to make use of every opportunities to get more sleep hrs.....
such as napping in the car/bus/mrt....or even during recess time....
but most of their recess time is used for Chionging homework....(poor kids, becos they cannot finish it the night before)
Yes....wkends are the days for them to recharge......

A Reminder .....27 th May, this coming Monday is a school holiday.... :imcool:
Long weekend for Parents and Pupils to re-charge.....Cheers !!! -
A long weekend after exams - definitely need a break and enjoy before meeting the teachers next week! Esp my DD2 has been bugging me to bring her to Universal Studio again, so we are all going tomorrow. Hope the weather will be good.
Happy Vesak Day, everyone! -

As what Augmum had mentioned, History and Geo results are like roller coaster. Just to share, DS2 is Y2 now, last year, when he started to write history essays, his results was not even at the borderline (failed badly). After some consultation/clinic sessions with the History teacher, keep practicing his writing skill with the past year papers and let the teacher went through with him, he did improve up to A+. The teachers in DHS are really helpful.My DD in Y1 too.

So do ask your child to consult the teachers as soon as possible as CT2 and EOY for history are all tested on essays. -
Gal requested me to post this video in DHS thread....
She said it was a tiring but fulfilling day for her.....
Hope those who came today for the Open house had a fruitful day......
