Mummies of p5 kids taking hmt,


Yesterday was revising hmt with ds.He kind of tired and loose steam and tell me this;HMT also not counted, study so hard for what, also no use.In return I told him, it doesnt matter calculate into your T score or not, bottom line , u must expose yourself to it, and that will help you in the secondary school life and in the long run.

I know many students scored A star for chinese in psle, but when come to secondary, they are struggling,unless those are really having a flair for the language.Just one cent of my thought.

Do u face similar situation with your child?

Hi Leanne,

That is exactly what my kid said too as he is having his HMT today. He was asking me if he can failed that subject since it is not counted. I told him the same thing what you did. But still I have to remind him daily.

Thanks for the welcome! dd's last paper is on Mon. So sian! Why can't they let it finish in one week. Got to stuck @ home on Halloween!


so far, dd said EL & Maths are okie. She is strong in Maths & ave in the rest.

What is your paln for your P6s next year?

Currently, dd is in a student care. They did quite a good job these yrs.
But I am toying for 1-to-1 tuitions for her next year.

Hi bellerina

Glad to hear that test are okie and your dd is strong in Maths as this is one of the subject that most of us 谈虎色变。

We would decide the next cause of action after her SA2 result.

However, most properly will still focus on Maths, EL Compo. and Comphre, CL Oral and Compo. as well as improving on answering of science questions.

Just my 2 cents thought

My colleague told me that if u take HMT for 'O' Levels, you get 2 points deducted from L1R5 ? Then it will make a HUGE difference when selecting Junior College.

But that is like suffering for another 5 yrs (from P6 to S4). My ds1 is also struggling with HMT. But he wants to go HCI....and if he does well for PSLE for HMT, got points deducted. So, that's his motivation lor.

Hi Mummies,

Reading your posts about Higher MT makes me worried…whether to let son continue with HCL next yr or not.

Exam period which stretches too long is mentally draining (and torture) on the child and parents. I remember my son had Oral exams 1 month before the Paper 1…followed by another few weeks before Paper 2. This year, Oral, Paper 1 and Paper 2 are all held in October. A great relief.
The 4 days at home (PSLE marking) was great for doing past year exam papers.
