My DS1 packed 2 sets of clothing in his bag. His sleeping over at his best friend's bungalow tonite, who also happens to be his classmate. Going straight after their science paper. Both not involve in HMT so today can skateboard and cycle all night. Time to play hard now.

Took out DS1's NDS to charge last night.

Luckily still managed to find it after I hid it away many months ago.
He still needs to wait in school till after 11+ to come home with his little brother though.

Good morning to all! For some unknown reasons, I feel particularly restless this morning. Could it be because today is the last of the 4 main papers to be tested? Withdrawal symptoms? Haha! Anyone feels the same way?

Ditto.. plus the gloomy grey weather lagi restless

Hi every 2011 PSLE parent,


I am writing to beg your kindness to share with all the 2012 PSLE's parent which are the most effective assessment books/resources so far you have use to revise with your kid for all subjects?

Next year will be my turn.. very worried :nailbite: as my kid is only a average boy so far.

We mainly depended on the past year top school exam papers. DS does not enjoy doing assessment books.
For Maths : We used On Sponge(Need to order online) and Raffles Tough Maths(can buy from Popular).
For Science : Guide book is a must, text book simply does not have enough info. We only bought one assessment book conquer series.
For English : Did not buy any assessment books. Mainly did the exam papers. And for some components like Synthesis and Transformation did additional practise from 2009 exam papers(online).

DS is not very hardworking, so this is all we could do :oops: and this is all we had time for, what with HW and sup classes.
Hope this helps.

What time does the paper end? Raining now and ds doesn’t have an umbrella. Don’t know what time to fetch him.

[quote=\"Elpis\"]Hi all, can anyone enlighten me any aggregates r awarded for students taking higher Chinese?

Hi Elpis,

The score for Higher MT will not be reflected in the T-score and can only be added to the T-score if you apply for a SAP sch.

The students will get a grade for HTML: Distinction (3 marks will be awarded), Merit (2 marks will be awarded) and Pass (1 mark will be awarded). If you don't apply for a SAP sch, the HMTL grade will allow you to continue taking HMTL in sec sch.

Hope this helps.

:thankyou: :thankyou:[/quote]Just to add, my daughter takes HMT and we were briefed earlier by principal that the bonus pts for HMT grade is applicable to SAP school application only if your child meets the cut off point for that school. Say if COP for SAP school X is 260 and your child's score is 260 and scored a distination, then his/her agg score is 263. If your child's score is 259, then the 3 bonus points cant be used and his/her score remains at 259. Hope this is helpful as many parents are not aware of this criteria. Cheers !
