As my DD scored badly in her MT, I am already starting revision for Chinese yesterday. Maybe just 1 hr of revision per day and the rest, I just let her play. I think if we start to revise their \"worst \"subject next year, it will be more pressure for them.

Same here. Doing 1 hour every morn for Eng/Chinese and Science (OE or MCQ). To strengthen P5 foundation. Cannot start next year bcos teachers will go 5th gear when school starts. Next year will very busy.

Hi parents,


I am rather worried about Science and English. I realize from hearing what my friends say that their kids can get A star for Math easily but not many get A star for English and Sci esp English. Is there any truth to this? How to help our kids in this area?

I heard from my friends who have kids in P6 and secondary school now. They say English is hard to get A star. Your kid must be a natural in it, must read a lot. Going for tuition helps but to really get that A star, the child must get almost perfect scores for oral, compo etc so the child should be already doing very very well in daily work. I think if your child is not like that, aim for high A. After all, it is the aggregate that is important not the stars.

Should drill a lot of synthesis, grammar, these sections must aim to get all right.

I'm drilling a lot in these sections. Dare not think of son getting A* as he doesn't like to read. A HIGH A may be more practical :scratchhead: A friend advised me to cut out articles from ST for him to read. So I'm getting him to read 1-2 articles a day which might be helpful for comprehension cloze passages.
Thanks jeestan.
