KTKS:
I suppose your DC is coping very well. It's already a struggle for DD in J1. Can't imagine what it would be like in J2 if the workload is much heavier and everything must be covered by June before start of revision.[/quote]Jennifer:
[quote=\"KTKS\"]My friend's DD's pte tutor said only 30% of the Chemistry syllabus is covered in J1 and the balance will be taught in J2. :nailbite: Is this true? How about the other subjects in general?
Why the worry?
You should check with your child's school teacher before getting worried over something a tutor says. -
Jennifer:
I see. I think it's quicker to get an answer from this forum. From my experience over these 11 years, not all teachers are accommodating and some are even mean. I don't want myself or DD to be a laughing stock. If you know what I mean.

Yr neighbour 's DD must have put in tremendous effort to buck up in J2 to get all As n 1 B for her A level exams...
Yeah. Neighbour's DD from TJC obtained S to D grade and hardly a C in JC exams but gotten straight As, except for GP, for 2014 A level exam.
It is NOT a norm for pupils getting D to S ( S grade 35-44 ) would jump to A grades in A level exams...Pls \"dont mistake\" it as a norm...
A jump of 2 grades ( for some cases 3 grades) is a more realistic expectation .... -
Augmum:
It's a D for GP, to be precise.

Normally, her class would have only 1 pupil who scored an A and 3 with B for CTs. The rest would be C and below.
Indeed, she had tuitions for all the subjects.
Augmum, your DC in TJC too? -

i not sure how many % of chem syllabus would be covered in J1...
BUT in J2... Lectures n tutorials...all move in a very quick pace...Not only Chem, other H2 subj too...
Difficulty levels certainly higher in J2...
Worst results to expect is the JCT results ( July Common test)... -

Seems like DD gotta revise diligently this holidays. Hopefully without PW and MT next year, she will be able to handle J2's workload. -

Augmum, your DC in TJC too?[/quote]No Sieg...my gal is in DHS...
Yes, i agree that for A grade...very very few or even none ( happened in some CTs) across the whole cohort (Not class) can achieve it ...
But for grades such as E n S, to jump to A grade at A level....
Certainly need lots of hard work n perseverance to achieve that...( apart fr help fr tuitions/ Teachers) -
Augmum:
Thanks Augmum for your feedback!

Sometimes also depends on the level of difficulty in the exam papers. I heard some students got poor grades in their school papers but in the end get As in their A level results.
