Sorry, but 80, isn't that equivalent to almost the entire 4 sets of exams papers, assuming each set have 10 schools paper, sa1 & prelims papers. My kids have never finished the entire set of any papers before. We always have many rough paper at the end of the year. :rotflmao:

I wish my ds can set some kind of target. He's just waiting for me to give him work to do. Else he will just be reading his book in a corner. And whenever he takes break from his work, he never remember to come back to his work. :faint:

Thank you for the opinion and advice on the amount of past year papers. DH has been sick for the past 1 week so we've been busy (visits to doctor, blood test, etc).


DS also got swollen eyes on Sunday. Doctor said it is delayed reaction due to haze as PM2.5 was still lingering. We were surprised that we only needed to pay $5 for DS's consultation and medicine. The clinic said they will claim the rest from govt If I remember correctly, govt is subsidizing $30 for haze related illnesses.

DS got a lot of homework from school and he said starting next week the supplementary lessons will be 4 days a week :faint: One of them is actually Chinese's teacher own initiative so other classes may not have. I am glad that his Chinese teacher is kiasu

My DD has been very weak in her science since p3 & got botherline pass since p5. She is currently having one-to-one tuition but i find that it doesn't help. She is weak in science knowledge so even MCQ can't do.


PSLE is just 2mths down the road & i am very worried. Do you think i should change the tutor or just leave it since left 2mths only.

Can someone pls advise as i am feeling down & worry. What should l do with her now as i have little knowledge on science. :stupid:

Is Monday school holiday? DS already got schedule for this term but no mention about Monday holiday :? Is it compulsory holiday for all schools? I wonder whether his school is so kiasu that they are making P6 to go to school on Monday.

The current 1-1 tutor is unable to tell you what the prob is? Is the tutor highly recommended by sb or has good track records?

If I am in your shoes n my child is unable to do MCQ correctly, I would be very worried too and would hv fired the tutor long ago.

Where are you staying? Can u send your child to a reputable tuition centre with good track records?
