      How has your ds been doing for the recent tests? Since this is the first test in sec 1, how do yours find LA and HCL ? easy or great jump?


      Hi
      May I ask how many tests subject tested this is part of CA ? I only know he did science ī ...I find myself lost  track of tests dates not like in primary school we get hard copy to follow up on DS. Emb sites also messy n lag :?:
      can you update me pleasee šŸ™

      In fact, they already have their Maths, Chinese, English, science and Infocomm test last week. IH test this week. Regarding EMB, do not check in the evening ..very lag. If you want to check the EMB for your ds, do it in the morning or afternoon, it is not so lag.

        If there is any one from HCI monitoring this thread, I think major revamp to the function, layout and speed of the EMB need to be look into....

        Most of the time at night, it is almost impossible to log in since the server is too busy. ...
        Does it help if you upgrade your broadband to a higher speed ? If you are using the m1 1mps mobile broadband it is very very slow.

              It is the server and bandwidth of the EMB system...I am currently already checking for my DS but communication of the details to DS is difficult as we might not understand the terms used in the message and how really important are they.

              Also note a tendency of the teachers putting up notices last minute or during lesson hour/late into the day for something that will take place on the next morning, same day or even a couple of hours later....

                  I heard that the whole network in Singapore is slow from 7 pm till near mid night. Try and check in the afternoon or you wait till the students all zzzz than check also good like 11 + pm. Note that weekend also got new emb leh ... HCI pp work very hard šŸ˜‰

Not all kids can access computer as n when ...[/quote]That's why I bought an iPhone for my DS. He can check the EMB anytime and no need to wait for computer to startup. He can also check and reply his emails, post msg on facebook to communicate with his classmates much faster and easier. He also keys in important events, test dates etc and set alarm reminders. He can check arrival time of next bus so that he can decide to wait or to take another bus no. with alternate route. He has data base of all his classmates' emails, mobile, home tel, address in iphone and it makes him so easy to reach out to his friends, even if he is on the road. When I am overseas and he has questions for me, he will take a picture of the text on the book and send it over to me, and the list go on...

                    The conclusion is you need a organizer (iPhone) and it will make your life much easier. (and btw, just want to clarify...I AM NOT AN APPLE's SALESMAN)
