All About GEP

Haha seems that all mummies are stressed up about the year end exam while all ds/dd are taking it easy.
On the topic of revision, does anyone have any recommendation of good Science guidebooks/workbooks that will effectively cram one whole year’s worth of learning into 2 weeks? Sorry, I’m desperate already. Other subjects still OK, but I never see dd doing anything for Science at all other than the IDP, and then recently playing with her little electrical circuit set. I bought those school exam papers in the beginning of the year and everything is pretty much intact (I can save the whole set of dd2!). Should I get her to start working on those? Will it be effective? I assume the topics covered should be the same… -
MotherHen:
Sorry dd is P4, hence can't be of much help but I read some posting by other parents (earlier posting) and they mentioned that the school materials are good enough and must revise the file notes and take notice of the corrections done. So if you dd's sci notes are not 'thin' & really good ones, that can start from there.Haha seems that all mummies are stressed up about the year end exam while all ds/dd are taking it easy.

Herbie:
Actually, my dd also very cool and calm abt the year end exam... mummy very kan chong but she very relax...
Hahahah.... you are right Herbie. It is usually the mummy (and perhaps daddy) the kan cheong ones and not the kid. I remember last yr (my dd P5) give me a form \"stress management\". By reading the headline (busy lah), i thought she wanted to go for the course. I told her, no problem if she wants to attend. She replied \"No, mummy, i think you need it, not me\". :rotflmao: So \"ma lu\" -

MT did pull down my dd's aggregate, thank God she already got CO to RGS or she would have missed by 1 point? Then again in Yr 4, overall GPA also affected. Thankful that there is DSA!I'm not sure which year the exemption started. My older dd received the exemption successfully; she was P4 4th term. Younger one exemption rejected. Thought of appealing but unfortunately she passed her MT.
A neighbour's dd got exemption in P3, so P2 is a ??
I agree that we should know our MT, that is why my older dd is taking private lessons. I'm glad she is exempted as i do not want her MT to pull her total aggregate down. -

I remember the period just before PSLE was my dd's most relaxed time in her 3 years in GEP.( don't count holidays lah)Herbie:

for maths and science, most of the time they have no problem, but lose marks thru carelessness or misunderstood the qns, esp for sce.

Relax??? Last 2 weeks (3 weeks before PSLE), dd sch is dumping a lot of mock paper. In a day can give (for example): 2 full math, 2 full sci, 1 full MT, 1/2 Eng.
I’m not sure if the sch teachers can count. 1 full Math is abt 2.5 hr (although they take less than that to do). How can they expect the child to complete all these from 3pm onwards (after sch). I presume the teachers think the kids do not need to eat, shower and sleep. Even dh who is usually strict abt completing hm wk said, just dont do it.
I really feel so sorry for my dd (and all the sch and classmates). I offer to write "letter of complain" but my dd objected and said she can cope (poor girlSSSS) -

Thanks comfy. I'll have a talk with her tonite and get her started on her Science notes this weekend. I guess I'm just really worried cos I've never seen her so laissez-faire towards revision before. Not that I want her to panic and go overboard with studying, but she seems to be taking everything sooo easy (esp recently) it's making me
