Hi MummySTay,

Heard from DD that the exam will be in 6 weeks time and in between there will be some mini test.

Also, they are required to go through the slides (in powerpoint mode) before attending one of the subject!

BTW, there are 11 examination subjects and 3 non-examination subjects! :shock:

Haha...dun know if that is the trend nowadays - scare tactic!

When we went to DD's school yesterday, we were also shown a list of dates of all the tests in semester 1.
However, this mother refuses to let the dates register just yet.
There'll be time to study and maybe even panic, later.

DD needs to enjoy the first few weeks of school first...we're just gonna take it slow...adjust to sec sch life, make new friends (both DD and Mother)...

For most schools the first term tests marks are not counted right ?

At ACSI the principal showed clearly in a slide during his talk to parents that first term tests are not counted.

Yes, you're right.
I think the tests do not count towards GPA.

Even if not counted, dun think anyone wants to fail them.

But in RGS they do. Though there aren't many in the 1st term. Maybe around 1 or 2 tests.

Hi ER,

1. Dun think DD has the time to attend.
2. We have no intention to send DD for EL tuition. The only tuition we may consider is for HCL. Cos we are a potato family!

Read somewhere that TLL is not too bad, but personally, I do not have any experiences with them.

That was quick. Thank you. TLL I wrote them off after I trial for my DD 1 year ago for a term.
