It's not just to find out what others are doing and panicking. It's more to learn from the other experienced parents how they plan / work with their kids for revision and fine-tune from there :)[/quote]Yes, but ultimately, you and your child's teachers would know his/her needs best.
It's really up to each person's child is it not? No point finding out what others have been doing and panicking!SignorWinter:
[quote=\"ScaredyMum\"]My colig told me best time to \"cheong\" revision is June, and come Aug/Sep, it's too late. Hmm... making me panick bcos I m FTWM and can't take long stretches of leaves to revise with him. Any suggestions from any parents how to maximise the June hols? Does ur DC get any rest days/play days (not including weekends) or is it study study study all the way?
How many hours of revision/day is sufficient and do all 4 subjects or 2 subjects a day? -
ScaredyMum:
Just to share my experiences with my kids when they were in P6. They did consistent revision so didn't have any 'cheong' period. For June holiday, I got them sit down before the start of holiday to plan a revision timetable. The daily timetable includes homework, self revision, piano and rest/play time. No complete 'play day' except for a few outing days when daddy took leave to play with them. In terms of subjects per day, I vaguely remembered it was 2-3 subjects each day.My colig told me best time to \"cheong\" revision is June, and come Aug/Sep, it's too late.

Different people/kids have different learning style. Hope you find a way suitable for your child. -
I m wondering, for DSA applications, they won’t take into consideration the different schools nor the standard of paper set. Thus, how will the kids be fairly compared?
-
Typically, the school will administer the so call Gat test... Seem like if the kids can do well in this they should be good something like GEP ... So still it's a fair comparison :oops:

Yes this was on my consideration as well. Different schools set different paper standard hence how can it be fair???
The school dd is targetting for explicitly stated above 70% in their forms. The principal also shared the thinking behind the 70% during the open house that given that different schools have different standards in exams papers, they have decided to peg it at 70% for DSA. They emphasized again and again that applicants must meet at least 70% overall passes.
Alot of schools also do not mentioned the grades they are looking at. But I suppose 70% is a good benchmark for band 2 schools?
