      What does 'normal' mean? I bought everything, from CA1 to prelims (aka sa2)

      Normal ones consist of CA and SA. Prelims are sold separately.

      You might want to check with Sch?
      I only bought the normal for DS, but din do much. Sch gave some but I din track which sch. So I kept for DD who's doing her PSLE a year later (ie. this year). But I never got to do a single paper so far cos her Sch gave a lot, so I rather give her rest time. And teacher has just told us not to get any, leave to them.[/quote]My son's school has not started anything yet so I plan to start giving him some top school papers to start the momentum. His school teachers did not give any instructions about papers so I assume we have to buy ourselves.

        [quote=\"ngl2010\"]Sorry I post my question in this thread because the mummies here have just gone through PSLE last year.


        My son will sit in PSLE this year. I am planning to buy Top School papers but the vendor told me that there are 2 types. The normal ones and Prelims. Which one should I buy?

        TIA

        Normal ones consist of CA and SA. Prelims are sold separately.[/quote]Get the normal ones. School will only complete the syllabus by term 2. Can do CA papers first & SA papers during June holidays. Don't buy both, no time to do so much. School will be giving them as well.

            I bought bcos math & science tutors needed him to have a feel of different questions…after that, school sent edusave forms to ask parents to pay for bulk purchase of prelim papers to be done in school.


            When new school term starts, I think kids are going to be loaded with more work to prepare for mid-year…already told son to start revising his history, geography and literature…but he turned a deaf ear this morn.

                    We started the March holidays with 2 visits to NUH dental centre…Monday morning and quickie arrangement for op to have 4 teeth extracted on Tue afternoon. Son is born with cleft, so after the upper jaw op, he had crowding of teeth. Delayed all surgery/treatment till this year bcos of PSLE.


                    Will be staying at home for next few days as he can’t eat well…plus the hot weather is killing. Feel bad his holiday is somewhat ruined, bcos skipping school this year is impossible. The biggest relief is getting it done.

                      4 in one day? Premolars? Poor thing! I had all 4 premolars removed around this age too, also due to overcrowding, but one at a time. My parents were very relaxed about it - they didn't even go with me, and I took a bus there and back by myself. I recall I used to go on Sat mornings after ECA and then spend the afternoon sitting at home waiting for the bleeding to stop!

                        Under hospitalization leave till next Tue. Think he hasn't got over the after-effects of GA yet...still drowsy.
