      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:)

      3 more subjects? I think you mean 2. πŸ˜‰

      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

      Perhaps some schools combine their subjects? If not it would be Geog, History & Lit right?

      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.[/quote]Lit is counted into English. πŸ˜‰ that I got A2

            That explains the difficulty! Don't worry, I'm sure you will do fine after a while. Must have confidence and determination:)

              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.
