Hm ask the teacher directly? My teachers never asked us to type our compo. In fact typing is actually discouraged by my teachers simply because we can’t type during exams. We also didn’t have such thing as a first draft, but just submitted the completed essay directly.

:whut: my chinese teacher requested to submit our compos to her via email.i thought everybody would do the same.

Is this like the new requirement or something? I graduated last year so I don’t know if maybe this is something new. But I must applaud the teachers for being so hardworking as to mark a draft, and then mark the completed essay. My teacher barely even marked any of my work.

May I know will there be SA1 and Final Exam (SA2) or all will be replaced by Common Test? Just seen the Common Test 2 for sec.1 and does that mean there will be no SA1? The common test schedule seems to start very early leaving not much time for revision.

I’m not sure if there’s sa1 but there’s gonna be a final exam I think. and yeah I agree, there’s no time for revision and the teachers aren’t preparing us very well either..

There is no SA1. There are 3 Common Tests and 1 EYE only. The common test schedule is actually very reasonable. I never felt that the tests were too near in my sec one year, and now that I'm in sec two, I'm still able to cope well.

About 3 weeks left to CT2 is actually quite an okay duration to prepare. ^^
Frequent revision helps.

Thank you for your reply.


Think my daughter spent too much time on her photo and av club cca. It's more like joining 2 cca (photo on Wed and av on Thurs) and sometimes Sat. need to go back. Also next week need to stay back till late on 3 days for Speech Day.

By the time she reached home (Tampines), it's very late and not much time left after her homework. She wakes up daily at 5am.

Think most of the CCAs take up 2 days and sometimes Sat. those involved in competitions stay back almost everyday. my dd came back after 930pm the other day. :faint:

I think the key is to be consistent in their work. If the girls do their work on time and faithfully, it is part of ongoing revision. Very often lessons go on till the very day before a test or exam. In sec sch, it's difficult to find a long stretch of time where the lessons have been completed and one does revision. Any doubt, clarify with the teachers asap.
