DS Common Test out of the way and he didn't do too badly, just many careless mistakes.

Notice many of your kids are having common test during this period of time but funny, ds sch has no common test. His sch only has a mid year and final year exam that’s all…is his the only sec sch that does not have common test? And what is the impact without them doing the common test?

Personally, I think it is beneficial to have Common Tests. The kids are taking many new subjects for the first time and it is a good gauge of how well they are coping. If anyone don't do well, the school will identify these students early and they will have to undergo Structured Study Programme.

Common test are over...he did well for some subjects, now waiting to know results for history, science and English. I encouraged him to keep it up.

Daughter having CA Chinese 2day...started last Thur with Math.
Supermarkets are kinda empty...could be some parents don't want to cook, preferring to eat at food courts/coffee shop and then quickly get back to revise with kids. Cooking and washing up can be time-consuming.

Maybe remedial classes will be given to those who did not do well in the common tests.

Hubby and I were at NTUC yest evening and there was hardly any queues...coffee shops and eateries were having long queues though.

After CNY weekend, that NTUC was packed but for the past 2 Sundays, it was quiet.

Hope our kids here did well for their first tests...with longer hours and more subjects, it's much tougher from now.
