Hi Parents,


Would like to know your thoughts about your child taking Higher Chinese Language in P5 if offered.

i would take it as the benefits are

- can add 3pts for Distinction, 2pts for Merit and 1pt for Pass to PSLE T-score if applying for SAP Sec Sch
- can take Higher Chinese in Sec Sch
- can take a third language in Sec Sch
- can take Higher Chinese in 'O' level and if pass then can skip in 'A' level chinese
- last but the most important (i think) can help the child in the normal Chinese subject

the hassle would be
- need to attend extra lessons (stay back after school) for HCL in school (for dd's school)
- need to spend more time for h/w and exam preparation
- need to sit for 1 more paper in PSLE

Thanks for enlightenment KSP

I think we may need to start an early & kiasu PSLE 2014 thread for our 2002 kids! After reading other posts and from my observation & comparison, I think 2002 kids are less discipline, less focus, have short concentration span - conclusion we cannot trust them to study on their own or prepare the PSLE with less supervision. We need to PUSH them real hard in order to make them move an inch!


Please share if your kids are otherwise stated above. Thanks!

Think smartmummy has started one PSLE2014 thread, smartmummy?

Yup i started but not the same title. But the people are so smarter than me and gave reaction like :yikes: .i so eembarrassed and hurted.wherever i say p 4 people give the same reaction.no need to worry in p4. Only p5 onwards need to prepare for psle.as parents we always worry about our kids.i planned to bring my son dsa school open houses.then i dropped the idea.better focus to psle.hmm..we have to walk another two years on the road.

Don't forget we have gep kids.

Most of us here sharing same.i guess not sharing are different category.other threads we can see the all type of sharings and motivate one another and tips for the other kids.hmm...hope we also get tips.

But i also have doubt we have any top mainstream kids will be get 270?
We have any maths genius or science genius?

I think 2002 parents are not kiasu.

Last year's PSLE top scorer (283) was a girl from Rulang Pri Sch, and she was NOT from GEP.. Many of the mainstreamers obtained higher t-scores than the GEPpers in my DS1's school last year too (though the top scorer in the school was from GEP).. So, mainstreamers are still capable of scoring above 270 and do well in PSLE..

just to check with the parents here, does your child’s school have marking day for SA1 exam? dd school has 1 marking day and no school for them…

Hahaha....currently i am reading psle survival guide.wow that so much related to our family.my son also read and laugh.

I read the book too, when DS1 was taking his PSLE last year.. A nice book to read with DS.. Informative with a light touch of humour.. Their situation was very similar to our family too (except that we have 2 DSs but the family has a DS and a younger DD).. Even the lizard in their house looked similar to ours, haha!
