      So you would think that Berries is sufficient for preparing for PSLE??

      I saw their website. They have 2 hour class just for paper 2 ...
      Berries

      But yes, at the same I am thinking that my boy won't have too much time for attending outside classes. And that it should not be too different from doing assessment work at home?

      Hi phankao

      I can't give comments as we never attend the class before.

      There are several components in the paper 2, which is the section you aim to work on ?

      Compre, I guess.

        For compre, the child has to get exposed to different kind of topics.


        In enrichment centre, at times, they just love to rush through.

        cheers

                Yeah, my son said he doesn't want to go for any Chinese tuition, and furthermore there'd probably be homework as well from tuition. He say Compre only - just do exercise. Don't know if he'd actually keep to doing what he says?!

                  I think they should plan to get works finished during the specific hours. If got home work again, then what is the different with doing test papers ourselves?

Often, they give extra work to be done also at home, too, right?

                    Or does Berries NOT give homework?
