Their notes were either fr the teacher or fr the website d teacher posted. This yr I refused to buy any text books for his sec 3 as every yr i gave away totally brand new text bk for math n Chinese :frustrated: ,DS n i have learn d trick only to buy d text bk when d teachers ask for it ,like lit, history . All his senior are doing it this way, cause teachers do not used text but give a lot of worksheets .

How many CCAs are they require to take - 1 core only or with another non-core CCAs? Are there any CCAs that will require qualification / test / audition before they are accepted? Where can these info be found in the website? Thanks in advance for any guidance provided.sama:

Hopefully, they will use them in e next 2 yrs. DS seniors told him the teachers hardly use e text except for e maths text. For e english, not sure if its e strand 1 or 2. Guess we will oso wait for sch reopen, c wat is really necessary.Hi sunflower mum, my DS do not have text bk for sec 1&2 sci.

Hi pinky88 (proteX)DS said strand 1 when in sec 2 is for I spark in sec 3 is for CSE n I spark but do not know about SP SMDP, HP, BCS. Correct me if I am wrong . And the bk list given I think only cover the normal IP bks did not list anything about SP bks. Do not know I spark or CSE has different bk list. Ya same here will wait till sch reopen before buying any tx just in case n the txs next yr are quite expensive for A math n lit .
Yes hope the teacher will use the 3 dusty white elephant tx next :xedfingers: -
