Hi Mummies,

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

Hi Janet

I was also facing this issue last year. To take or not to take? If to take must appeal and chances of approval is high. At the end we decided not to take in view of P5 workload as well as dd CL Compo. is also not so impressive. However, when come to P5, her CL techer want them to complete all exercises regarding of P5 or P6 CL or HCL in the 知识报. Therefore in fact dd is also learning beyond normal CL.

We are not regretted with the decision make and also if dd do well in PSLE she is still stand a chance to take HCL in Secondary School.

The above are our experience.

Hi Brenda,

It's really wonderful and helpful to read all the comments here...true honest opinions from mothers.
:lovesite:

I've heard several comments regarding the heavy AND difficult workload at P5. My friend's son is in P5 and he told me not to let my boy take HCL bcos it's really very tough and there is so much 笔记 to copy that the teacher doesn't allow them to go to the loo. :!: :!:

Hi Leanne

Perhaps at that time her interest on CL is still not so strong as well as we want to spend more time in Maths.

Thanks

Hi Leanne

I'm no sure as I did not check with dd.

However, due to time constraints, she provided them an answer sheet to self-check the MCQ and open-end answer on some test paper that they practice.

Hi Leanne

I guess their result will be out after the last paper so as not to demoralize them incase some earlier exam didn't do well.
