Hi, for parents whose child did well for PSLE, may I know how you or your child prepared for it? My elder one did not do as expected (out of IP range) and I was wondering if there is anything i could do better so as to prepare my number 2 (who is going to P5 next year).

For my elder one, I had to make (force) her to do past year papers for all subjects. For science, I made her read the science textbooks and the PSLE notes on science. She had Chinese tuition but pretty much nothing else. Maths I think nothing really much to memorize, need to know the formula and practise a lot of papers. For English, I was not sure how to prepare her (other than doing past year papers), got her into a last minute writing class to try to improve her writing and then found lists of words online to make her go through them, know how to spell and their meanings. But along the way, I was not sure what else I can give to her or make her study. She is pretty chill one, anything goes kind, so making her study really have to depend on her mood, plus towards the end, she got really sianz of doing papers.

Please share if you have something constructive. Particularly, how your child prepared for both languages, which have so many components, it seems hard to score. I hope to take this as a learning experience to see how I can improve to support my number 2 better (who unfortunately at this stage, seems to be more slack than number 1 😔). Thank you for your time.

PSLE preparation started at P4, at least, cause, you cannot hurried the process of building the language proficiency within a very short time. In the lower primary, we focused on Languages for both my daughter and my son. My daughter dropped the English writing class in P4 while my son continue to fill p6 as he was a lazy reader. Both of them continue their Chinese tuition til p6. For maths, both of them being drilled consistently since P5. They studied science and do other school paper on their own. Both my kids made it to IP schools.

With AL6, is it safe to put RI as first choice. Pls advice.

Why not? Do put the 6th choice as AL8 or 9.
Last year, my son got 2A2A*, he got 258+ 2(Merit for HCL)
We put
1) HCI
2) RI
3) Dunman High
4) Cat high (IP)
5) SJI(IP)
6) Cat High(O)
He was offered HCI. I would think that making a trip down to see the physical environment of the school is very important… as a child must feel comfortable with the environment of the school. My son has a strong inclination towards Chinese culture. So, HCI is always his top choice.

Same for RGS, RJC is partner JC for RGS, for those RGS who eventually do o level, they have no affiliation to any JC. However, understand that for both NYGH and RGS, no who did o level are very few, 20+ odd for each cohort each year.

Sorry now I am confused. Is there still a RJC? Don't RGS girls go to RI for Year 5 and 6?

Yes, all Rgs girl go to RI in year 5 and 6 …

Hello, I think just let your child try it out whatever your child chooses…. It is ok not to do so well, it is important to let them try it out. For those who manage to get into the IP school by ALs, don’t assume that it will be a breeze when you studying in the IP school. Unless the child keep trying, he or she will not be able to reap the wonderful programs available in these schools. It was a journey to go through the 6 years with my daughter who went to RGS, now she is taking her A level. Also, my son is in HCI now, next year doing Sec 2. Both of them, chose their school. They got to take responsibility from what they have decided. There are ups and downs for my daughter when she was in RGS. Also, for my son, He too was trying very hard last year. Both of them got in with their T score.

If take HCl in o level, no need to take Chinese in JC

can I check if the child can drop HCL if he goes into Cat high IP or O? Thanks!

I think, most of the sap school will want their student to do HCL…cause this is their mission…

I learnt that the pure IP schools ie those without O level stream start their days later than those schools with O level stream. Could someone share the time they start their days by schools? The reason of trying to find out this is transport and travelling time, another key consideration in school selection. Thanks

HCI starts school as like any other school.
