Ieen meaning to ask ifes lols. If this worksheet from MS the school, then my jaws would end up on the ground. :rotflmao:

I don think tuition centers categorize them coz it'ssupposed to be supplementary class. But for some enrichment center they do recommend higher level class for stronger students. Or for IP students, they attend diff class from O lvl

Higher level class must pay more $$$ or not?[/quote]Hmmm, might have to pay more. I know for some, lower primary fees is lower than upper primary fees.

I understand MS the enrichment centre has classes like for average and high achiever students for the same level. For these classes, I do not know if there's a difference in fees.

[quote=\"SAHM_TAN\"]But from the image of the worksheet. There's the space to write class: Primary 1( ) beneath the space to write the name. So I think the worksheet is most likely from school.

I've been meaning to ask if tuition centres categorise classes like schools. If this worksheet is from MS the school, then my jaws would end up on the ground. :rotflmao:

My experience with tuition centres is rather limited. So far have not come across centres that group their classes like primary schools. 😄

Qiu Yung Again, this is a diagnostic test. It's not about passing or failing the test. It is administered to primary 1 pupils to help teachers guage their mental capability, in particular, logical thinking and reasoning skills. That is, their cognitive ability.

Since it is a diagnostic (analyse), DD try it,

Kekeke…in addition to what you’ve mentioned (minus the Hardy Boys as I didn’t fancy that series), I had completed series after series of Enid Blyton, C.S Lewis, and yes, bestsellers during secondary school plus many many others. In fact, I was like reading a book a day in P6, definitely add up to much more than 150 books lah….and yes, got most of the books from school library...and I think also started in P3... 😄

Ahhh…stimulation is key! Actually me also younger sibling but we didn't speak much English then. I read A LOT but still struggled with the language during school days.


It may also depend on what you mean by \"read A LOT\" and what you have been reading. 😉

I remember ploughing through all the Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew and Three Investigators books I could get my hands on in primary school. Subsequent tallying revealed that they added up to maybe about 150 books or more. Don't think I started before P3. By Sec 1, I was reading bestsellers from the general fiction section. Yeah, there was notti content in them... :evil:

Never spoke a sentence of Engrish at home...
