It's Math Masterclass. Only selected students will be in the class.

My dc's school has AMEC which is to prepare them for Maths Olympiad. Maybe I would get him to do some Maths Olympiad questions during the weekend.

Hi!


My DD is Pr5 this year. This week is the test week. She had her test for Chinese, English, Social Studies and Science. Next Monday will be Maths.

She said these were just a test not SA1, was she correct? And she don't have time to do her revision. Everyday, come home late, and has a lot of homework and project (including her IVP). She also being chosen for National Education (what is that?), CAP (not sure what is this) and some other Media thingy.

I just wondering is it normal for the GEPer. She is not strong in her Science and Maths. Thought of let her do some past year papers, also don't have time. Everyday has to do until 12 midnight. I am so worried.
:?
Please advise. Thank you

Hi! vlim


Thanks for your reply. In previous years, did your kid have the time to do the revision or past year papers? Just curious.

Yes, I did let him try some past yrs paper ... But the ivp and cap thingy was either not interrupting his preparation le .. Maybe now the timing different ??

Both dd n i are so glad that maths is on monday.... still have sat n sun to revise. Shudder to think if it were on Fri :nailbite:

I agree. So glad it's on Monday.
There's also the persuasive speech to prepare.

My DS also need to present the persuasive speech today. Other than that, still have to do 听写。Then I see him struggling whole night trying to memorise the speech & 听写 para. [/quote] :frustrated: I really pity them, afterall, they are still kids.

Do you mean past year GEP papers? Where you get them? Or top schools past years mainstream papers? If it is later, should we use SA1 or SA2?

I don’t have the GEP papers. I only give her the mainstream past year papers.

With the last paper today, does it mark the last day of the 3 yr GEP ? Will there be any SS SA1 and when is it likely to be?
