Looks like our children will need to rush through the prelim papers after getting hold of it.


Today, Ds only got back his math papers.But, teacher keeps paper two for corrections.The rest of the subjects are not returned yet.So, looks like past year prelim paper will not be out so soon.

Agreed! By the time parents get full set and get that to vendor, vendor still need time to clean up and tabulate answers. Looks like very likely gonna miss the Sep 1-wk hol's period for prelims paper! :slapshead: :stupid:

Don't your schools go through the prelim papers of other schools with them? In my dd's school the teachers swap prelim papers among themselves and get the kids to do them. They actually tell the kids not to buy any.

I think most vendors will have difficulty issuing the prelims paper early as most schools have not returned their prelims paper as yet, due to the public and sch hols this period. My DS school has not given back any paper yet, so the vendor cannot collect from existing students.

Hi Pen,

Agree with you.

DD class also gone through their prelim Maths paper in class today and teacher collect back all the papers at the end of the lesson!

We only know the result but unable to see how were the questions being set this year.

Hi mummies,


I would like to know for this P6 record book, is the SA1 result and prelim result will be combine (different weighting) and give us the overall score ?

Thank you.

Depends on sch, I think. I remembered for DS sch, they inform it is 100% for SA1 and 100% for prelims.

Thank you Pen for your information!

I understand from past year parents DS sch will go through some only, and depend on teachers too. DS sch do not believe in drilling kids and they adopt the \"minimalist\" approach, so mummy and has to do some revision at home.

Hi mummies,


Time flies and today is the last day of Aug!

29 days later will be the first written exam!

Jiayou to all the P6 students! :rahrah:

During DS1 2009 there use to be counter on the KS home page showing the daily countdown. Not sure why there isn't this year

Hi hashroop,

Not sure about this countdown as I only joint KSP last Apr!

Think it will be good if there is a countdown at the home page! :please:

As such, chance of duplicating is very low.
