2017 PSLE Discussions and Strategies

[ss2]

Estéema:

Did you hear that they’re changing the format this year to announce sec Sch posting end Nov & early Dec after results & selection? Seems CHIJ had a briefing on this yesterday. Anyone fr CHIJ can confirm?

I doubt this might be implemented this year.MOE website still says 21 and 22nd dec 2017 tentative date.
Maybe would be future plans.

No CHIJ students to update us?

Bought some sec 1 books from Popular.

Not sure what exactly to buy, just randomly grab some.
Anyone like us? Going to start work on Sec 1 stuff soon?

One of the ways is to go through the English/Science textbook with your child once quickly, to prepare what he/she is about to learn. For Math, you can start to introduce some of the topics he/she is unfamiliar with by sharing the applicable application.

Thanks Janet!

Yes, we randomly grabbed some History, Geography, Maths, Sc and HCL textbooks plus a couple of guidebooks from GLM & WiseMann. May I know what’s your recommendation for secondary school guide/assessment books?

DD1’s school holidays officially started today. DD1 has been tasked to read up and do her own notes. I hope after PSLE, I don’t have to teach much, just use my “eye-power” to supervise will do.

I have beeb getting GLM and Wisemann publishers for history, geography and science.
For Math, i buy Shinglee and SAP.
The above-mentioned publishers are for assessment books. Daughter's school uses Shinglee for their Math textbook (even son's former secondary school uses same publisher).
