I heard that Norman is quite good but not sure whether he is the one that will be teaching. How much is the intensive hol program? Mathshub @ Bukit Batok is about $400+ for 2 weeks.

I've make an enquiry with them yesterday. Quite expensive. $1800 for 5 full day session. Not too sure worth paying.

Gosh! That's really expensive... Personally, I feel that the child will be too tired out to assimiliate concepts taught at the end of day and worst, at the end of week.

Actually, out of the 4 PSLE subjects, the easiest to score A* is Maths and next is MT... followed by Science and English .

what is the results that they are guaranteeing ? And intensive Maths for 5 days ? I don't think the child can take it. Is it 5 continuous days ?


BTW, I remembered last year when my son was in P6, there was somebody organizing such programs and he uses RI campus for it. It was popular and cost about 100+, for 1 day lesson. This was done on a yearly basis, after the Prelims and before the PSLE. So he will take all the current year Prelims Maths paper from the top schools and use them in the class.

True, the person who conducts a one day workshop for Maths at RI is Ernest Wong and his contact number is 91091506

My son did this and I found it quite helpful.

Hi,

Helpful in what sense, can elaborate ? Able to share with us what's the 'before and after' diff in math score ? I'm sure parents who send their kids to such course are at looking at immediate, tangible benefits.

Cant you just download schools exam papers from misskoh.info?

Personally, I find Norman's $1800 programme ridiculous. 2nd, i doubt a child at 12 years old can handle so much in a week. Probably they just want to squeeze your money in as short a time as possible so they can spent the other three weeks squeezing other parents' money.

A -> A*.

Very interesting. One day's training can change from A to A*. Not sure if it is the training or that the kid has already been getting high A but missed the star due to carelessness.

No shortcuts can be learnt in a day. It takes at least \"66\" (that is what the experts say) practices to develop a correct habit so that careless mistakes can be minimised. Furthermore, there are so many \"types\" of correct habits to acquire.

Not shortcuts but mind approaches, i think? They work on how to approach the \"A*\" challenging questions that set an A grade apart from an A* grade.
