[quote=\"cindylauper\"]Hi, as my daughter is attending secondary 1 next year, this kiasu mum would like her to make use of her full time this Dec holidays to get her prepared for Sec 1 education. I heard Geography will be a toughie. Should I ask her to read some materials? Haven't bought secondary school textbooks yet because don't know what school she will be posted to. Anyone can advise?

Spot On! I failed my Geography. The only subject I failed in my first CA1 in Sec 1 XD

Haha i guess you're just not that used to the new subjects to cope with! With 3 more subjects to study compared to primary school, you'll take time to adjust. So don't worry too much, you still have many chances next time and you'll do better when you get the hang of it:)[/quote]3 more subjects? I think you mean 2.

History, another new subject, I got C5

Those primary school subjects still not bad for me

English A2. Science B3. Math B4

Chinese idk what happen. I got a C5 only :X

Not to worry! It's your first CA. After adjustments you would do fine. I remember i improved 16 marks for my geography from SA1 to SA2. And lit around 7 marks. Math around 10 marks! The rest...whether good or bad, it remained the same:/ Just continue to try your best, you'll do fine.

His and Lit are new subj. Try to get some exam papers to avoid surprises in exam. Memorizing cannot help much, ask your teachers to share some framework with you.

PSLE is over.

Now is play time.
But I, the parent need to know how to prepare my son for sec 1. If I wait till sec school posting, he would have played for 2 months.
Please advise any useful titles of reference books for science/history/geog so that my son will have some idea what to expect.
Thanks in advance.
