Hi, I would like to register my girl at MCS in 2016.

I should be falling in Phase 2C. Can anyone advice if I need to do any
PV? How are my chances in Phase 2C? Thank you.

Hi Rea,

Based on past trends, so long you're SC or PR and register in phase 2C, you should be safe. No need to PV, I think. But do monitor this year and see if there's any surprise?

But MCS is definitely a good choice in terms of holistic development of child. All the best!

Hi Lil_jade and Sembgal
Its a relief to hear that. Sori for the late reply. Many thanks for replying

Parents of P1 Integrity, there is a Maths test paper given out today for our DD to practise.

There is a particular "trick" question that is hard to teach our DD, but I found a very close solution for them (cut n paste from other threads):

_____ is 3 less than 10 ( ___ = 3 - 10)
3 is _____ less than 10 (3 = ____ - 10)
3 less than 10 is ______ (3 - 10 = ___)
3 is 10 less than ______ (3 = 10 - )

is 3 more than 10 ( ____ = 3 + 10)
10 is ____ more than 3 (10 = ____ + 3)

I find this a good approach, though we end up with -ve number which we should ignore for the time being.

Try calling the school at 62566701 to enquire about PV.

As for the school, it is a great mission school with caring staff who focus on character building. I like this part best! More info: http://www.marymountconvent.moe.edu.sg/ ... id=1080764

Last year, I was told by an ex-parent that the top PSLE score in MCS was very high (don't wish to reveal what is the score here).
