Wow, your DS sch so good, have not hear anything from son sch yet , think they are on their own 😞 . Can ask what yr DS school?


Me too, don dare to pin too high hope better bet on PSLE T score .
Ha ha.....think the school is trying hard to ramp up.....quite lax last time. Probably their bad bad PSLE results in 2010 was a wake-up call. So this year, seems to start pushing from P5. I was already contemplating transferring....but relented since I do see improvements (plus son objected strongly too)

As for the special training class, think this year first time. Think the school also excited....koyak neighborhood school.....likely the first time they have sooo many qualify for 2nd round (~6 this year) vs previously ~2 for the past few years.

Hi cwc, is your DS going for the Math Hub ad hoc NMOS second round intensive training next week 4 to 6 pm? They just called but the timing clashes with my DS CCA , N7 Math, HMT and supplementary classes sian :slapshead: Guess he has to be on his own πŸ˜“


No ideal whether DS will be able to follow his elder brother to HCI , have to see how he fair for his PSLE fist :nailbite:

Will you try DSA for your DS? If yes then the P5 P6 results must all be A or A* to meet the IP school requirement . My friend try DSA RV for her girl by string instrument this year , all subjects A except CL B (74 only 1 mark to A) RV not keen to even let her try :mad: maybe RV is the top A level school last year so standard v high this year .
Yah, MathsHub called too....but DS mentioned that his school has already planned 2 hours (2-4pm) special class whole of next week, think I'll just go with the school (free mah πŸ˜‰ ) But to attend this special class, DS gonna skip all his supplementary & CCA too. But now the dilemma is on Wed, should I go W3 or the school class.....

Hmm...so far DS results for SA1 is still A/A*....but quite borderline, so won't dare to pin too high hopes in case he slips. Have heard about the DSA process, seems to be pretty taxing and DS only has Maths, so dun think he stands much chance. So I'll go for PSLE T-score. Shall let nature takes its course.....if he manages to maintain all A/A*, good - can consider trying DSA. If doesn't, still back to original idea - PSLE.
Thanks for the advice and reminder, appreciate it πŸ™‚

By the way, DS just came and told me that the school sending them for another call Mathlympics??? Gotta go read up and see what's that ..... ZZzzzz


Hi, hope you find this useful.
http://www.econnections.com.sg/index1.htm
Since we have maths competitions organised for primary schools by sec schools like ri, hci, nus high, acsi has joined in the race.

Mathlympic will feature more algebra-looking questions and only local competition to ever allowed calculators (in a section of its final round).

Hi Coffeecat,
Thanks a lot for the link. Useful πŸ™‚
Actually think I came across this site 2-3 years ago, brush it off then cos' only thot DS is stronger in maths, that's all πŸ˜‰ , now I know. Looks like gotta try getting one of their booklet to see exactly what type of questions we are looking at.....asked DS this morning, he has yet to learn alegbra :scared: hmmmmm.....

To me, if there's nothing much to worry already, think I'm ready ;). Ha, say this now, may not behave so when time come. But I rather go earlier rather than suffer extra time, it's easier. Anyway, we'll just try to make FIL remaining life as easy & comfortable.


Wah, HCI. Planning to place your DS2 in HCI too? I'll just aim for RV first, cos near & good :). If he can score better & choose others, then discuss later.

AMC - dun think my kid going, he din mention. Only Mathlympics. Now that we are closer to PSLE, I'm suddenly not that worried about Sch exams. As long as he can still maintain grade B & above, can let him pursue his interest in Maths for now. In anycase, better to start cramming him & get the Motor running. Else too relaxing & they'll be resistant later (like my DD now, refuse to do extra besides Sch work)

On the link for NMOS, under the News & Updates, there's a click HERE, there's a list of the participants for the schools. Think result will only publish the final outcome after the special round.

Hey, went to the nmos website but the results are for 2010 leh .

My older DS is in HCI . EL & HMT are both their 1st language . Cannot fail , so died died also go tuition lor 🀷

What some more Mathlympics ! Don think DS school is joining cause it fall on his CA 2 exam weeks and 4 Aug is AMC , so many competition :imdrowning: so stressful for them πŸ˜“

Oh don worry abt d meeting . Hope your FIL is ok . You must be very busy rushing around.


Ha ha you really v greedy . My older DS said you do not need to clear the paper as long as you are the top 25% you might have a chance to go for second round. He got silver during his year.

Yes, when they reach sec sch they will stop almost all the tuition . My older DS is too busy to go for tuition now, but still force him to continue HMT tuition. This subject cannot stop leh, died died must also continue :nunchuk:
Thanks....FIL - apparently diagnosed with liver cancer but source unknown as doc does not want to continue searching and testing due to his age and health. Discharging soon....now I really stressed :sick: Hope won't drag too long. Know I sound heartless, but having seen my own grandpa lived passed 90 and towards his later stage, hating it and wishing for death to come earlier (no cancer but with pain & deteriorating health/eyesight/ears etc), IMO better to leave w/o suffering & pain.

Hee hee.....NMOS must greedy lah......but still expect the worst πŸ™‚
May I know which school your older DS is in? Why must continue HMT?

Hi cwc, DS also told me v difficult. He has done 27 out of 30 questions. No one can clear the whole paper ,most of them only clear half the paper. But how many is correctly done by DS then I will not know, ha ha ,just pray hard he had half of them correct.


Wow, you got two kids in Math Hub ! so expensive leh :moneyflies: are they in the same level ?

Ya, v rush for him, his N7 only end at 5.45pm. So we just go directly from school without changing :skeptical: Poor DS so tired but luckily he does not complain :snuggles: as he likes the teacher. His N7 will end on 27 July.
Maybe we can meet up tomorrow nite :celebrate:
My son only managed 25 question, also dunno correct or not. I more greedy, pray ALL 25 correct...whoahahaha. πŸ˜‰
My :moneyflies: everywhere....xiong. Not just MathsHub, both kids attend the same tuition centre, so cost is double (Berries, Piano, Creative Writing, Mindstretcher - Science). Sometimes, wonder when can stop......wonder if we give them a good foundation, can stop some in Secondary or not...... DS in P5, DD in P4.

Frankly, I won't want to be born in this era.....our time more relax.

Yours also at Bukit Batok? For tomorrow, not sure yet .... FIL in hospital, so not sure what is DH's plan....he may take the car or we may go visit....so cannot commit yet.

mum42:
Haha cwc you so funny to ask Math Hub to justify their charges :evil: I thought their answer would be something like the level of difficulty is higher or the teachers' pay have increased or something better leh. :?


You are right , as parents we always want the best for our children :imanangel:
No lah no lah.....not so hiong to ask them justify πŸ˜‰ Oni make a casual remark that their fees has increased while paying. Think the lady young lah, probably kena stunned so just use any reason :laugh: But no matter what these centres do, guess they have the upper hand......if dun like it, dun enrol then. :skeptical:

Btw, how did your son find the NMOS paper this time? DS complained difficult. Oh, yah, my 2 kids will be attending the selected class starting this week.......dunno it is better or not, to save me running around, I have opted for Wed so that both attend on same day, same timing.
But weekday would means quite taxing for them.......esp. DS has his W3 till 4pm then gotta go Maths Hub at 6.30pm. πŸ˜“ But luckily, think the W3 should be ending soon.....

LOL! I think that's how other parents' justify for super ex. camps too. Look at it as a per hour basis so that the heart will not bleed.

Somehow I am only willing to pay that much or more (per hour) for music lessons (for good teachers of course!). Other than that, I can't. :lol:

wah, Powerpoint can be considered technology ah ? my digital watch can be considered technology too. So if someone asks me for the time, I should charge a premium since I'm using high tech.
If the center uses Skype to answer their phone calls, they will start charging high tech prices as well.....

You got a point hor :rotflmao:
