Sometime we need to be tutor as ourselves if we want our kids to have a good progress in their study. I send my dd to learning lab for English, she still got 60 plus. I decide to teach her using my way, she got 70 plus. And my dd also doesnot wang to quit learning lab.

Your teaching is more customized to daughter's needs. From my understanding, LL gives worksheets and the level is dependent on a child. If the centre is not able to help your daughter do better, why continue?

[gardenia64]

It is true. My dd does not want to quit. She likes learning lab so I like her continue for another year. Learning lab also teaches a lot of advanced stuff which students will be benefit in the future.

but she is going to be busier towards june with intensive supplementary...will she have time? I am happy for your daughter that mummy can do a better job.

She got her time at last mins. She is happy go lucky girl. Don’t have much target on her goal. I am so worried about her PSLE next year.

Experienced parents can help here?


My gal wants to go to a girls school in secondary and all of them seem to be the top ones!

So if she needs to score in the range of 250 to meet the COP, what should be the scores in the subjects? Even if i get a range (like A* for english, A for maths etc), it will help me help her set her PSLE goals!

Thanks

it's good to have a dream school. at this point in time, I think working hard to achieve is the ultimate objective.

I read from sharing in the forum that a rough gauge of tscore is about 0.72 * prelim score. :scratchhead: However this also depends on the difficulty of the prelim papers of each school.

IMHO, setting goals on just grades may not be very accurate. Two students with 4As may have very different tscores, if one has scored about 75-80 marks per subject while the other has scored about 85-90 marks per subject.

All the best!

if use .75, my dd's actual t score is under by 15
And if use .73, under by single digit rather than double digit

So I guess not a very accurate estimation in our case

It’s just an estimation. But there’s no gauge for kids who take only 3 subjects…
