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.PlatypusMeowMeow:
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.

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

Yeah... When I was P2, I did little or no revision and scored like...97
but when I was P3 I didn't know the exams were so hard. I revise very little and my Math grades kena dropped to 50 something. :wrongmove: :spank:

Hi PlatypusMeowMeow,
The first dip is at P3 and next is at P5.
My son did reasonably well in P2, but at P3 he experienced the first shock...subjects like Maths & Eng was tougher and there was Science which he just didn't know how to answer.
I think my daughter doesn't need to wait till P3 in IJ to experience this. IJ TP has proven that in the first review at P1
Mummies with daughters in P2/3,
Do you find that IJ standard is not the norm ? The expectation is pretty high. -

Science at P3 is a new curriculum to most P1/P2. It is a testing time for most children and P3 maths needs more logical thinking.Hi PlatypusMeowMeow,

P3 is also the year where most school \"academic streaming\" actually started. For some parents it is also the year of reckoning .. the GEP streaming. -
I’m not concerned with the GEP thing…more concerned with surviving P2 with her though…my son is sitting for his PSLE next year and I hope I will still have time for her.

Yes the expectations are really high, especially for EL. For my SA1, (I'm P6 this year) they set the papers really really hard and to even keep my grades, I had to revise like :siao:Hi PlatypusMeowMeow,

Wonder if you can give me your daughter's P6 exam papers when she finishes her PSLE...website doesn't have IJ TP papers. I know EL is getting tougher. My neighbour's son in P6 told me his class flunked Comprehension Cloze (SA1) and I'm worried for my son now

:frustrated:[/quote]Hi,

Secondly, abt the papers...I'm not sure leh... How can I send it to u?
Abt the compre cloze, Do u mean Open Ended compre? coz the entire class flunking compre cloze not very realistic leh... -
Hi PlatypusMeowMeow,
It didn’t occur to me that you’re a student in IJ TP. You must be feeling the stress now. Do remember to take short breaks and drink lots of water.
I have a son in P5 this year. It’s really difficult this year.
Neighbour’s son (in P6) said comprehension cloze is tough…I agree with that. Will start son on P6 Cloze assessment book when school reopens…enough of heart attacks since CA1. -
Hi janet_lee,
Yes, P5 is difficult because they prepare the students for PSLE next year
