Same thinking as me, but be prepared to let go of $$$$$$!

Hi comfy, long time no see, err I mean talk :lol: .

For ds's music training, I've already let go of lots of $$$$$. I got him a custom-made german piano (with his name engraved on it) and had to wait for 7 mths for it to be delivered. The inside of the piano is green in colour (my fav colour), cool rite?

Sound cool to me, green in colour, never seen one! How much? exam-model? If your ds like to play piano so much, why u say that his std is so-so?

Hi Daddies/Mummies,

I wonder if you find the idea of a ‘answer key’ useful…some schools have past year exam papers…and there is an answer key attached at the back which breaks down the marks allocation.
For Science, I find it very useful as it tells me what the keywords are and how to get those precious 2 marks in OE section.

Hi E3, regarding your query on ICAS papers. I find that the sample papers are not complete. Hence it is good to buy the full set from ICAS Head office. For me, the past EL papers are quite close to present paper that my DD sat for it during her time. The fomat and style is rather the same (no of poem, fiction, infomation text etc). If your dd enjoys and can do well in the past ICAS papers, then she most likely would not have problems doing it.

For Math, maybe one or two new questions would appear. Some of the questions not cover in mainstream like perimeter and direction (NSEW) will be tested in the paper.
For sci, I think it is very useful to do the past papers as quite of no of similar questions will appear.

Hello everyone, just to update what is happening to my dd in her school. Well, it is one project after another project besides never ending list of school homework. Now I know why some parents don’t send their kid to GEP even though selected. The programme seem to like to give them project ‘big’ one ‘small’ one for EL,SS & Sci. So parents interested in GEP, must be prepare to hear the word PROJECT (meeting).

Sounds Good.
But Have Not Seen Before. Which Book has this?

Agreed with U it's very useful - to understand what they award Marks for ....
Quite Often I Scratch My Head, coz not sure why marks R deducted, or marked X = Zero Marks for my Gal's Science Paper 2 .... :?

Sounds Like Poly / University Study Style Already ....

There was a Science question in CA1...son told me he couldn't figure out why he didn't get the full 2 marks until he saw somewhat similar in RGPS. Apparently, he missed out the word 'condenses' and that keyword 'cost' 1 mark. HOD told me no point having answer key (mock paper) bcos teachers will tell the students what are the keywords. I think he missed my point and I don't quite see the need to go on.
Last year, in one Science mock paper, there was an answer key attached.

E3:

I wonder did those top students score as well for Science as compared to the other 3 subjects...?

Haha, I know i sound mean, but PH's science results are nowhere near spectacular leh.. for other subjects, I agree PH's done very well.. but how to attribute 'top students' to this subject?!

Just happens to Browse thru PH Web Site ....
PH Sc Results is Indeed Not as Good as the Other 3 Subj in PSLE 2010.

15.8% A*, 51% A = 66.9% (A* + A) > National Avg 43.2%
Now Is that Good? :?
