lego:
we have yet to get back EL results. there was a dip in results for science and math (minimal), but we were not alarmed as it is within our expectations and he did not get tuition for these 2 subjects. we are very happy with the improvement in CL results - 5 points (attributed to compo and oral; he scored the same for Paper2 in SA1). that was on top of having sat a compo topic that he has not done/read before and also the oral picture topic was something not seen in any of our assessment books. besides justifying the hefty financial commitment for tuition, the intensive weekly work he did (he spends on average 3 days a week on CL, while the rest of the subjects are 1x a week revision), my boy can see the fruits of his labour. i hope he will be motivated to keep up the hardwork. :rahrah:
Conversely, dd's maths and chinese results are better this SA2 and yesterday, she jokingly asked if she will get a \"reward\" for it. I told her the good results that she get IS her reward.

Today is the last day of school for DS2 (his school has only 8 weeks in Term 4).. :rahrah:
For the 1st time in 2 years, DS2 got above 90 marks.. DS2 got 92/100 for Science (56/60 for Section A, 36/40 for Section B).. I don't know how DS2 did it.. DS2 says he also doesn't know how he did it.. One thing for sure, DS2 has a very good and dedicated Science teacher in school..
The other 3 subjects range from 80 to 84 marks (DS2's usual range, always missing the Band 1 mark).. :oops:
DS2 is going to his friend's house after school to play.. Yes, play soccer, play cards, play Wii.. Just play!!! I will rest & relax at home, coz feeling too tired to go anywhere.. Maybe will try to catch up on my beauty sleep.. Haha! :snooze: -
firefly38,

Congrats to your DS' improvement in his CL results.. :rahrah:
DS2's weakest subject is Chinese too.. May I ask what did you do to help your DS improve in his Chinese? Does he have tuition for Chinese?
All the Best to your DS' EL results.. :boogie:

he has tuition for chinese....
and yet i am still looking for ways to help improve his chinese.
this is an encouragement to us that he is willing to apply what has been taught. i have yet to :spank: him on getting wrong for MCQ compre...he said question is tricky, not careless mistake. IMO MCQ compre is giveaway marks ah! answer already given...just choose the correct one based on passage! :faint: -
i used to be quite happy when i got dd’s result for P1-3 but come to P4 when her FT share more info with us, we have some kind of mixed feeling…
the reason is her FT shared where dd stands for each subject with reference to her whole level…
like SA1 her CL about low 90s, she is at the mean or middle or 50% mark of the level…
then her SA1 Sci about mid 80s, but she is actually at the top 25% mark of the level…
we are quite confuse with all these additional info… does it mean we need to push her more for CL and be happy with Sci? anyway we still let dd continue her usual study pattern and didn’t change much to dictate her which subject to focus more…
her SA2 results is not much diff as SA1… but coming PTM we will get that mixed feeling again… -
KSP:
on the contrary, i like these feedback. grades are useless to me with no point of comparison. my husband however think otherwise...but that was last Semester! son got 80s for chinese but below class average, husband said good already as we should look at overall score. this round son got 90s for math but we have a hunch that it is either class average or below, husband said not good enough! lol! he is the math tutor, hence he is concerned.i used to be quite happy when i got dd's result for P1-3 but come to P4 when her FT share more info with us, we have some kind of mixed feeling....

for me, my concern is the rate of which marks drop. i expect marks to drop, but the drop had to be reasonable. sudden drop of 8-10 marks raise a warning alarm and class average will show us how difficult the paper is...if low class average, then we are safe, if high class average, we have to do analyse what went wrong. -
KSP:
My dd called me to update me on her scores for english (pp2) 73% & maths 78% ......i dont like the \"7\" infront...i used to be quite happy when i got dd's result for P1-3 but come to P4 when her FT share more info with us, we have some kind of mixed feeling....

I must correct myself..... :roll: as long as she has put in her effort (although i dont think she had put in ALL her effort) i must look forward and not backward :please: -
I went for PTM this morning, glad DD has done reasonably well to be offered HCL, but understand from MT trs that HCL emphasizes primarily on compo writing and compre, can be challenging for those without strong foundation in Chinese though meet the requirement. To take up or not, have to make a decision by next week.
In the meet up, I thought it was thoughtful of DD’s FT to casually remind parent not to be overly concern when marks suffer the well-known dip to below 90 in P5. -
I guess standards really differ a lot between schools.
In dd's neighbourhood school, we are not given formal statistics about class or cohort' results.
However, based on the informal grapevine news, only about 5 students scored 90% for CL in last SA1. (No news yet for the the recent SA2.)
