It's just a series of questions to find out the entry level of the child. It's not really a test test

Not a test. Just to assess ur kid and see which level to start.

Hi


Any comments for the branch in bukit panjang?
I'm thinking of enrolling my boy to either MPM or CMA
Thanks in advance for any kind advices

So can i say the 1hr or 2hr is just a guideline but it is not the actual lesson time. Will very much depends on the kid’s speed and understanding?

Hi Minnie, yes its very much depends on the kid...when my girl started she took about 40 minutes to complete 2 books. Right now, she took abt 1.5 hr since the level is much higher. Teacher always encouraged no coaching at home for the other half of the book to ensure she fully understands the concept. This way, the teacher will know her level of understanding.. So we always leave her to complete her homework independently

The questions are in printed form, the child needs to write out the answers.

My DS in Jelic, my DD1 in MPM.

If you go in at about 3plus, then you will have the chance to finish all the boxes in Jelic. But if you go in at an older age, then for Jelic, the child go in at the entry level appropriate for his/her level of understanding. There's no need to finish all the boxes before going on to MPM. However, there are some parents who request for older child to complete some of the boxes and at the same time taking on MPM. It depends on the amt of time and money the parents are willing to spend.
