Anyone knows if i can download other schools mid year papers for free?? Preferably science

other schools mid year papers will only be useful if you have master your fundamentals / basics

Its time to start preparing O level now. Just few more months

Not impossible. But its gonna be very very difficult for the child.

Poly route is certainly difficult as is not easy to maintain average A grades for so many test and exams. If uni is the destination, then JC route should be better.


But everyone is different. So no right or wrong path.

But harsh reality in Singapore is good grades are far too important.

If not there would not be so many parents sending their children for tuition.

FrekiWang:

Most of the top school students do not need private tuition as they are willing to spend hours every day on doing revision and pratice. So attitude determines everything in fact.

This is what I agreed 5-10 years ago as well.

But nowadays we are seeing more from the very top schools/JC getting private tuition.

JadeDry:

I currently use \"New Syllabus Mathematics\" (8th Grade) books, and would appreciate if you could recommend additional good quality publications.


Thanks in advance.

A good tutor / mentor would be able to select what is good for the student.

If you are struggling, say spending one whole day on a question, most likely you need help.


Nowadays having B grades will not give you much chances into popular courses lke Law, business, accountancy …

And if one does not do well in his/her A level, he will need to spend more than $30-50k to study in private Uni.

Few months tuition fees really wont cost that much.

Hi,my girl is currently in her Sec 3 and she takes HCL. She will be sitting for her O Level Chinese Language exam this coming November. As her grades in sch test/CA are arnd a B3 standard, I'm desperately in search of a good tutor who can help her to push her grade to A2 or better still an A1. Do let me know if anyone has a gd recommendation.

Understand where u r coming from. Those who got A grades for Chinese probably need not spend more time taking at end of year. And have more time for other subjects

My girl JC2 next year. Weak in GP, any good center to recommend. Is Aspire Hub a good center ?

GP very important for Uni admission.

Popular courses like Business and Accountancy in NUS and NTU will favor those with good GP grades

Private tuition: Why Singapore education can't do without it


Even students in the same class come from different home environments, comprehend and remember at different speeds, develop at different rates, are receptive to different styles of teaching, and troubled by different emotional and social problems. They are not recording machines in which technicians use some standard method to input knowledge.

In school, every teacher has to teach many students, besides having other duties. He may be well trained and dedicated, but there is only so much he can do. A qualified and caring personal private tutor is a must for many, especially in languages and mathematics.
