While one has to be selective with assessment books, there is still a need for them given that more exposure and practice are still necessary for a child to learn & strengthen the skills of a particular subject. That said, parents need to be somewhat involved and understand the areas of weaknesses of your child. Most of us don’t have the time to prepare exercises…hence the need for assessment books. But then, we should not overload our children by forcing them to complete all the assessments, as focus should only be on topics where they are weak and require additional practice to understand the concepts better.

My ex-staff sent her two teenage boys some 2 years ago. She told me the same thing a forummer mentioned earlier. Initial hype was there that got her boys excited but after the course ended, it was life back to normal (and grades too)…plus a big hole in the pocket.

Hi rkumar


How is your son doing in Cedar P3? Am considering trying to transfer my daughter over to Cedar next year. I remember they used to be strong in atheletics and band (Sec School). Any comments to share? Thanks.
