[quote=\"trileets\"]how about NYPS? Any one has any idea?

your kid in NYPS ?

those with good results in P3, plus just missed the GEP selection, will be in \"high ability\" class, for the last 3 years. Not sure what the new principal will do this year

\"Twining\" lah ... :lol: :lol: See if the HA pupils will be doing SS and IR like in nhps, if I am not wrong nyps HA students currently don't?[/quote]no, they don't do SS / IR

OIC..must be my own perception then, coz those students i know of who make it to round 2 are already in the best 2 classes in their respective schools. Maybe they were already quite strong in English and Maths to begin with...

It's not true cos best 2 classes include CL in their score. So some kids who are strong in English and Maths may not be in best 2 classes cos of their poor CL. But they can get through 1st round cos of their strong English and Maths.

3weeks before the 1st paper, both prelims and psle alike. He actually took a break after prelims ! a bit of the lazy type

Prelim - when the school started to prepare them, ie. 4th week of June.

PSLE - a week after prelim, but DS not very focus (he is the happy go lucky kind), about 1-2 hours daily ( too little in my opinion, but DS said they did a lot of test papers in school)

DS did not do anything to prepare for English (only read some story books). He spent his time in preparing 1) science (most of his time) 2) Chinese 3) Maths (the least time, only on topics that he was not so good)

ya ..same same here..Science is the subject that need more time for reading up the topics and memorising some important facts plus doing some pass year papers...

some of frends said, they purposely don push their kids too much during P6 prelim. So that their prelim result would be \"ok only\". This is to let the kids feel the pinch & strive to work harder for the real thing (PSLE). Dunno how true.... :roll: btw, my elder kid only P3 lah... :lol: She still complaining that the GEP test was very tough.....
