hi buds.
My deepest apologies, ladies... I recall tt my dd did Rulang Maths papers (not sure which year) and said it was very hard as many concepts/topics have not been taught by her school/teacher.
my boy did Rulang past year paper last year (P2/2009 papers) and fare not so well too.

Hi jedamum, same here. She left those topics not covered by her school blank and told me to just teach her after marking everything. She just wanted to see how much she scored if left at that. I think she managed to get a 79.
Then she said to herself, \"Was that the toughest paper I've done or what? I definitely need a break now..\" (heaving a big sigh) -
So far, my son (P2) does not have much difficulty doing the Rulang Maths exam papers. I agree that the questions were difficult but my son was 'taught' and exposed to those questions in class. Weeks before exams, the teachers will give many practice papers (worksheets) for them to practise. Questions found in exam papers are those found on the practice papers. So, I don't agree that the kids were not be prepared to handle the tough questions.
Eg: the chicken's and cows' legs question. He was 1st exposed to this qn with a 2 pg worksheet where the steps to the solution were very clearly explained to them (they have a mtd and dun use guess and check like most schs), after that there's a follow-up with a few worksheets of the similar questions for practice and recently I see the questions again in his e-learning. Hence, now my son can solve such question with ease.
I remember I had to teach my daughter the same type of question when she was in P3 as it came out in her exam but prior to that she was not exposed at all.
No doubt, Rulang papers are tough but so far, my son's teachers have prepared them before exam. So far, I have not come across any exam questions that surprised me as I've seen them in his practice work before.

I feel that Rulang has prepared my son very well for exam. Till date he has written on aveg 1 compo fortnightly and has filled up 1 exercise bk already, whereas my dd (in another sch) only managed 2-3 in the whole year. There will be many practice papers to be done before exam and they dun cram that in days before exam, the papers were spread out over the weeks before exams. So, actually I am happy with the way Rulang has prepared my son academically.
So far, till date, I dun need to send my son for any tuition, other than Chinese as we dun speak the language at home and I am unable to revise with him.
I was given the topics and areas to be tested for CA and SA, percentage, components for all subjects in the beginning of the year. We even have the whole year's schedule printed in the handbk and they rarely make changes. On the whole, I feel Rulang is very systematic and organised. (I can compare cos my dd is from another sch and all these were not provided till nearer exam dates) -
Lock,
Well said and a very good sharing from you who has 2 kids but in different schools and thus can make a comparison between the schools. -
Rulang has Parents Support group or those SFE meetings ?
do they meet up each month, networking ?
if Yes, perhaps can attend PSG / SFE - get to know some parents there (those 1 or 2 yrs older than yr child), borrow their child’s past year Rulang papers and zap ?
sometimes i go Bras Basah complex - ground floor hidden at one corner that is this shop that sells 2nd hand assessment & guide books, past year papers. Maybe can ask shop owner - if they happen to sell Rulang past papers ? -

Morning all, just learnt from a colleague that she did not get into the PV scheme. This year, they accepted only 20, out of 300 applicants. Good luck to all that had applied to be PV for Year 2012 Pr1 registration.
