im within 1km from HIPS but felt CHIJ TPY suits my DD more...

All the best to you.
My boy is in co-ed school but hubby insisted on registering daughter in IJ. I must say we didn't regret doing so, although we were taken aback during recent parent-teacher meeting where daughter's FT told us she needs to buck up...P1 is no honeymoon.

I feel IJ TP is quite academic focused.

I heard that the P3 SA 1 exam dates are spread out instead of continuously for 4 days. Is this true?

Is it because of the General Elections? the mother tongue exams were posponed because of that.

How spread out were the exams ? Son's exams at P3 then were spread out over 2 months...for eg orals in April, then EL/CL compo in early May followed by Paper 2 in end May. It was a torture and I lost stamina just before his Paper 2.

Really? 2 months is very long u know. Which means if it started in april it would have ended in june... coz if any earlier the SA1 would have clashed with the CA1 if any...

It was just :siao: back then. CNY weekends were spent revising for CA1. After March hols, revision begins for SA1. In a way, it wasn't so bad revising for SA1. But my stamina went flat before the paper 2...just couldn't breathe.
Anyway, other parents complained and now the time frame is shortened.

I know. CNY holidays are meant for ppl to go visiting and stuff but if the CA1 clashes with the festival, then it's not so fun anymore.

First day of CNY was for visiting...2nd day was for revision. At lower primary-P3, 1 month of revision b4 SA is sufficient.
