Just a casual question

How many pens, pencils ,rulers, calculators ............. Are your DC bringing?

2 each, some items 4 pcs.... superkiasu me!
(But not sure the additional calculator is permitted...)

Same, at least 2 of everything (including calculators). Sounds kiasu, but rather be safe than be sorry... :oops:

Essential:

You can purchase a clear pencil case ... Exam pencil case

Is it must be ultra clear? Those \"can-see-cannot-see\" pvc mesh type can?

dd's teacher say cannot have mesh/pattern/pictures. Must be totally clear. I got hers from Daiso.

My DS just uses a zip lock plastic bag. Anyway, need to use only once for the few days…

Smile... stroke her head... tell him/her that you will love her NO MATTER WHAT. He/She needs that from you so that she will go in full of your love and your energy to face one of the most daunting challenges in his/her life so far. He/She WILL be careless. Just face it and love him/her anyway.


And then... after hugging and all that, tip her chin up towards you and say gently \"I know it is difficult but be very very careful of careless mistakes.\" It's too late to fix anything now. Send him/her in but give her courage and inside the exam hall, he/she will think of your smiling face and warm embrace... and he/she will do her best.[/quote]

:goodpost: I will do this on Thursday morning. Thank you!

Zip lock bag is fine. If cannot find, use those transparent plastic bag which we get from NTUC fruits section. The main thing, the bag which store the stationery has to be transparent/see through.

my ds school did not mention about bag. Is it must? requirement from MOE?

ds school give only one sticker for calculator, can't ask for additional sticker for spare calculator :roll: ... I told ds to just bring it, if can't bring to exam hall, then put it in his bag, if need he can take it out.

DD's school has been using transparent/zip lock bag since P3 exams (SA exams). The whole purpose is so that the invigilator is able to see that there are only stationery inside the zip lock bag pencil case/bag - prevent kids from cheating (作弊).
DD's school only tag 1 calculator & 1 chinese e-dictionary. Teacher said can bring in 2 calculators as long as same modal and one of them is tagged.

[/quote]Is there any reason why the 2 calculators must be same model? Thought so long it is one of those specified on the SEAB list, then it should be ok...?
