The list of schools is the \"score\". Eg, if you see RI , HCI on the list, means the child did well. If the child didnt do well, you wouldnt even see these schools on the list of schools to select. You can choose any school on the list; my feel is many people get their first choice (havent heard of anyone not getting their first choice although my sample size is only 3). So just pick the best of what you get.[/quote]


We didn't choose those top schools as we thought the reason they were in the list was because they offer express stream. Although I felt a bit pity not trying but still happy to get our first choice

Hi happies and paznwrkz, may I know how was the experience of the SPERS testing for your kids?

After the results, how many schools were u given on the list? Did u encounter any difficulties in securing a secondary school?

According to my son, Maths was quite manageable but he couldn't finish the paper on time. He also told me there were some verbal reasoning questions in the English paper.

MOE sent us a full list of schools (excluding girls' school) for us to choose 6 schools. The only problem we faced was that MOE did not want to disclose his marks and hence we had difficulties selecting the schools.

Good luck if your child is taking the test:)

Hi


Thanks for helping to solve below questions.

1) The ratio of John’s age to his uncle’s age is 1:4. In 30 years’ time, the ratio will become 2:3. How old is John now?

2) The salary of Mr Lim and Mr Tan was in the ratio 3:5. After they gave away an equal amount of $3500 to their wives, the ratio became 1:4. What was Mr Lim’s salary?

thanks ooptimizer:D


i got this answer too, but not very sure as the answer looks a bit unusual to me…thanks again

Hi mathsguru,


Have been scratching my head for this question:(

Peter spent 1/4 of his money and an additional $3 on a shirt. He then spent 2/5 of the remaining money and an additional $6 on a pair of pants. Given that he was left with $24, how much money did Peter have at first?

Thanks a lot.

My son had his braces put on in overseas 4 months ago and now that he is back, i have to look for an orthodontics to continue the treatment. I had enquire my nearby clinic and the girl quoted me a $300 transfer fee charges and also other miscellaneous charges. Before I decide whether to take up his service or not, I have to pay this consultation fee of $85. Appreciate very much if anyone can advise me the cost and also any reliable orthodontics in choa chu kang area. Thank you very much.

i’m thinking of enrolling my son to learn abacus but he is already 12yrs old…is it too late for him to learn abacus???
