I've seen many of my friends who just blindly copy and ignore the mistakes.Reasons being that we have loads to do and we are rushing against time.

Seeing how often you visit this thread makes me wonder how much are you really rushing against time.

Hi Lynn2


No choice. One of the P6 parents told us that “fraction” and “ratio” are the most crucial topics to grasp well otherwise the child would face bigger difficulties when the problem questions are getting more complicated later on. May be some P6 students can confirm the above.

Ratio is quite important, Fraction not so much. In paper 2 for a P6 math paper. Maybe 4-5 questions are on Ratio and 2(maybe 3) are on Fractions.Just my 2 cents lah. :lol:

Hi MOE Hater,


I thought some of the ratio questions can be done by fractions too right?Anyway, thanks for letting me know ratio is more impt than fraction as in the number of question appearing in paper 2.what about percentage?thanks

Its the holidays! About the rushing against time thing, we only have to do that in school. I've seen my friends finish the whole book of 6B Maths Homework Book(130+ pages) in a matter of days. I'm still hovering over page 100+. :oops:

Hi Vanilla

Both of you work very hard.
:rahrah:
Just curious to know is your school has already finished teaching the 6B Maths syllabus?

If no, then both of you really hardworking and have good initiative.

Wish you good luck in PSLE. :celebrate:

Thanks. I am awaiting for the great ruyu to unravel his dazzling secrets on how to excel in MCQ for Science. Meanwhile, all the best to you too. I gather from your previous post you are sitting for PSLE this year too. I got a B for Science and am using the June holidays to buck up. Don't woorry, I am sure you can pull up your overall marks out of 300 by up to 20 or 30 points by just revising during the holidays. If it is math's you are weak in, do try the book ruyu reccommended. If you are good in Math, the afore mentioned book will also help you stop relying less on algebra, if that is what you are doing now. You can also try doing Math Olympiad books as maybe some techniques you learn can be use in PSLE. Once again, all the best

Dear MOE Hater

I'm not P6 student. However my dd will be taking PSLE next year therefore I'm also quite interested to learn more from your on the important tips and strategies. Since someone told me \"ratio/fraction\" is not so simple therefore she is practicing more on questions related to ratio/fraction/percentage during the school holiday. Hopefully she will be well preparing when the time arrives.


I am sure you would buck up the Science's grade since you are putting some much effort during the school holiday.


All the best to you.
