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 ?

Collected Maths paper yesterday. My dd said 'mummy, you just sign on my paper, don't ask me any questions. Zip zip.'

She performed below expectation for this Maths paper. Her class average is below 35. Teacher was pretty upset and told them the entire class need to go remedial.

Lucky asked to go remedial and not Q at TLL!!!

BTW, is 35 the baseline? Think it's pretty high coz I remember it being 60ish% during my boy's time!

Kids are very smart to go round to put bad news across...
For DS, he started off by telling me xxx scored 2x, yyy got 2x., zzz got 3x.. all these are the usual bright ones. Then he asked me what is my expectation of his result. So in other words, he had mentally prepared me for the worst !

GiftedGem,

heard from my DS that the T mentioned that no full marks in sch yesterday. Average score unknown yet as they have yet got their papers.

For NSW, the computer skill results and the science one are out. We didn’t sign up for writing hence now left with english and math.

For Sci, my DS sch like rushing through the digestive system and plant system within 1 week of lesson. Now they are into light.

Just4Fun,
sounded just like my boy ur DS. My DS only choose inform me the 1or2 lower than him … those higher one when i asked his usual reply would be "I do not know".

Gee, I've no idea which topic Science teacher is teaching now.

My dd didn't bring home any Science worksheets.

Actually I have no idea what topic Maths teacher is teaching either.

Never occur to me to ask about teaching progress.

For CT, I just asked her to revise worksheets in the files. Then she auto pilot her own revision.

Eh, perhaps I'm too slacked :scratchhead:
