Other than buying uniform and books...what other prep?
The problem is we are left with too little time to prepare for Sec 1.....opens in a week's time! -
We are going away after the sec reporting. No time to react to anything

Didn't you read some ksps' dc were already reading up their Yr 1 notes immediately after SA2 ended? Those who didn't know if their kids qualified for N Level, O level or IP or NUSH cannot start reading (read \"preparing\") earlier.

I really dun understand what's the fuss about... Wasn't the timeline like that when you were in P6? Did you guys have enough time to prepare for S1?MArVeLIciOUS:
I have always wondered why MOE takes more than a month to publish the Sec 1 posting results. Any computer can churn out the results in an instant......
It doesn't take that long, they just don't want us to have time to appeal.
I agree - it's total madness. It's not just the time for practical preparations but also mental preparations, especially for those who end up with a school choice that they weren't expecting.
Not only is it a mad rush but means that you can't go away for a break over Christmas either. My husband can only take leave in the last two weeks of the year so this year and again when my two boys take their PSLE, we can't go anywhere.

Last time read one year in advance...now at least 2 years!

I think many people want to go for holidays in the last 2 weeks of the year, so the announcement of posting results in late December will leave them with only 2-3 days of going to the school, buying books and uniforms, etc, before they go for their holidays. And if they want to appeal, that will take even longer.

Not so much about prep… just that the S1 release date is neither here or there. Cannot take a longer overseas vacation in 2nd half of Dec.
Will let son chill till end of the year. Just give him some mental preparation & maybe get some humanities related reading material from library. Otherwise, think he deserve some break after meeting his target in PSLE & start everything anew in when sec 1 starts. That’s when the madness begins all over again. -

Nevermind the school. They have to start studying for the Os NOW! 4 year head start should put them in good stead. -
Having gone through it with DD last year, I do feel that it is a bit of a rush.
For us it was because DD is not of standard size had to alter her uniforms or she will look really sloppy.
