yah loh..... i came to this forum too late too.Herbie:
although psle is one year from now. P5 kids shld try to do well for p5 too so tat they can secure a CO at p6 dsa.
This is a very informative forum and the parents here (kiasu or not) are all very helpful.
I came to this forum \"too late\" - July this year; if I had known earlier, would have better prepared my DS for DSA. For instance, was not aware that his primary school sending him to participate in the various Math Olympiads helps to some extend in DSA until I submit his particulars for DSA.
My dd \"pass\" all competitions. I say ok loh. You like you take part, if you dont want just forget it
I realise how important it is to put in the CV when dd apply DSA :slapshead:

What is the definition of 'passing PSLE' though?[/quote]Otah:
[quote=\"8228\"]I attended Mindchamp preview. The course is very expensive.
I overheard one grandma who spent $8000 for the grandson to attend that mindchamp gives money back warranty for the kids to past PSLE, and she feel like buying an insurance for her grandson.
\"C\" is a pass :? 4 Cs may only achieve an aggregate of 180 -
By the way, what are the grades for A*, A, B and C?

Hi,
I have a Korean friend who sent her daughter to a Chinese home-tutor in the East which i heard is quite good. Her daughter managed to achieve an A+ for Chinese in her PSLE. She recommended to many other Korean friends, and they also joined the tuition in preparation for PSLE. in the end, i heard that they got at least an A for Chinese.
P.s. I heard the tutor has some Indian students taking Chinese. they also did quite well for PSLE -

Some kids read a lot but never improved. That is because they read to enjoy the story and that's it. Some kids read deeper into it, they remember the good phrases and bother to look up the meaning. Some kids are lazy to use the dictionary (big & heavy book), my dd just use her iphone.
Hi jtparent, you mistaken Liao lah. My DS don't check meaning also, I tried to force him but no use. I can't possibly sit with him every time he reads & ensure he check. When i see him reading, i will remind him to check if encounter new word and don't just play guess the meaning game. what to do, he just don't have the discipline to do so, sigh.jtparent:
Good ur ds read story book... & will find the meaning. myread but dont find meaning.. haiz... how TLL coaching. need to take pre entry test 1st is it. heard tat fees not cheap too....
need to really push him hard... as this year is very the imp ya...he dont like to attend any extra lesson as complain hw cant finished... really poor thing. however seeing the results , damn worry.... but m afraid if ask him to go extra classes will backfire.... :? really dont know what to do.....
do u or any parents experience these too.....
pls share...
My DS attended TLL less than 2 mths so not sure if it's good for him. No, he did not go for entry test, just submitted his result slip and after a while they called us up. I am worry about his compo too especially Chinese compo. For Chinese compo, will get him to write more & try to remember ε₯½θ―ε₯½ε₯. No choice as time is running out. If your DS is really no good in compo, I think it's good for him to go for compo enrichment class. My son is not only weak in compo, he is also weak in comprehension! -

By the way, what are the grades for A*, A, B and C?

1.\tLeslie bought some sweets and gave 2/3 of it to Alan. Alan bought some chocolates and gave 2/3 of it to Leslie. Leslie ate 6 chocolate and Alan ate 6 sweets. The ratio of Leslieβs chocolates to sweets became 2 : 1. And the ratio of Alanβs chocolates to sweets became 4 : 5. How many chocolates did Alan buy? (5 marks, 2011 prelims)
