      [quote=\"Jennifer]


      what kind of practices do you give ah boy for hcl? my dd's tutor wanted her to concentrate on cl as hcl is technically not calculated into the tscores. said, a pass will be good enough. 🤷[/quote]

      My girl is not taking HCL but can i ask what id NC?

      I bou the PSLE titles HCL assessment books from Popular.

      Ah boy's private tutor only focuses on NC, told us since we do not intend to apply to SAP sec sch, we shld not spend too much time on HCL.

      The tuition centre seems to be concentrating on NC too.

      No doubt what they said is correct, I do not feel comfortable to let ah boy fail HCL.

      There will be more to catch up in sec sch NC if we do not do sth now.[/quote]

        NC is normal Chinese, not Higher Chinese, not foundation Chinese.

                Well, for questions that ask you for a choice (like, \"Is it A, B, or C? Explain your answer.\") My teacher says use CEE:


                Choice
                Evidence
                Explanation

                So, you answer like this \"The answer is ___, as it has_______ (E.g, \"as it boiled before <the other option>\"). Thus, it ______________ (E.g, \"Thus, it is a better conductor of heat than <the other option>\").


                Then, for questions like \"Tom commented that this was not a fair test. Do you agree with him? Explain why.\" Answer like this:

                \"Yes, as in a fair test, only the variable being tested, which in this case is the <independent variable>( E.g. Material being used), should be changed. All other variables, such as <the constant variables> (E.g. the distance between the light source and the material and the thickness of the material) should remain the same.\"

                At least I think so.
                What school are you from?
