Last Fri, DD received the Math paper result. Btw, any of you know what topics to be tested for upcoming Math CT Paper 2 in Sep?


For NSW, have your kids gotten the results as well ?

DS2 hasn't received his Math paper results but teacher said average is 35. Seems like the paper is a killer. I think the school has given out the topics but file is not w me. No, haven't received any NSW results. Do you mean NSW Math ?

Am FTWM too. DS1 goes to SC after school & tries to finish his homework there as much as possible. Have been relying on DS1 to help himself & let us know when he needs help. No tuitions so far.....


Recently he's been complaining that he 'doesn't like school anymore'. Used to be happy to go to school in P1-P3. He's wept a couple of times at night saying 'xx bully him', 'teacher scold him', 'no friends in class'..... Had to sit down & talk to him to find out more. I find it's all part of growing up & being able to socialise more than someone specifically targetting him. Had to teach him how to handle different situations.

Project load still manageable, but time management is still big headache (for me!). Have to keep reminding him xxx is due next week, please work on it
earlier. He'll say OK OK & continue reading his story book. :slapshead: :slapshead:

DS2 also goes to student care in his school but it seems he's quite happy there. No tuition so far but he's that kind of slack person who will hide inside the :imconstipated: to read books if I nag at him, play ipad the
moment he reaches home .... & most forgetful too, average water bottle he lost per week is 1 - 2 until we have no choice, but recycle mineral bottle for his use ...

Actually it is not advisable to recycle mineral water bottle. Try to dispose it after 3 days. I have the same problem with my kids. One bottle per month & I will not buy water bottle that cost more than $10.

Same here. DD’s class is also at 35 avg for Math.
Can u help to check w yr DS if he knows what topics to be tested for Math CT2 Part 2 ? Thot of getting DD to start preparing.

For Sci, are the kids now on Plant System? DD has just completed and the next one is Digestive System.

For NSW, only Sci is out but the rest still unknown.

Gotten back math results. DS2 got the last question wrong.

For Science still half way thru plant systems.


Check his Math file, no mention of topics in exam but got list down topics in daily assignments, eg average, decimals, lines, angles, area n perimeter.

Heard that the highest for this maths paper is 49.5 ! So it appears no one is able to score full marks, though very close to it ! 0.5 mark off ? Guess must be some careless mistake such as wrong unit stated . I hv also heard more failures for this paper as compared to other subjects. So as a whole, this is indeed a tough paper !


BTW , anyone has any idea when the results for UNSW be out for Maths & English ?
