Hi, time passes so quickly. The EOY exams is starting real soon. My gal is starting to feel stress preparing for exams. I didn’t know how to help her because she is my first born and I didn’t have friends with kids in SCGS IP track. So I am hoping to get some help from this forum.

My girl had gotten an average overall score of 78% for her CA1. But I Guess that’s because it was still the honeymoon transition period from Primary School and as such, the test papers were relatively easy.

I have seen my girl doing her homework conscientiously and revising for her tests. Nonetheless, for CA3, her grades dropped. I did an estimated calculation of her average score and I think it should range from 67% to about 72%. I am not sure but does this means she isn’t coping well? Or she isn’t revising effectively? I don’t know the average score for her class but I heard that there are girls failing a few subjects.

In subjects like History and Geography, how do I help her in preparing for open-ended questions? I can’t remember the terms used. For History, I think it’s SBQ and SEQ.

If someone with experience can share with me on how to help my child prepare for End of Year exams, I would really appreciate that. She tried requesting for past year papers from the seniors but didn’t managed to get any. And she told me she couldn’t find them in the library either.

I am feeling anxious and a bit stress that I couldn’t be of much help at the moment.....

Hi chujoe,

I hear you. I'm beginning to think that I've slightly underestimated the prep and work that needs to go in to the EOY exams.. my girl is in Sec 1 IP and although the workload has increased from when she was in pri school last year, she has been coping well with the load and hasn't shown much signs of stress until just very recently last week and today when she was visibly upset that she hasn't completed all her assignments.

I reached out to her form teacher by email to keep an eye out for her, which she did today and I was appreciative.

I will be trying to communicate with her more during these next few weeks to see if I can help her more in how to cope and manage the exams. All the best!

[quote=WhiteFox post_id=1987583 time=1595603786 user_id=178804]Hi, may I know if SCGS have dual track? I prefer my child to sit for O levels and have the option to choose between JC or Poly later. Thanks

Yes, they have both O and IP, interestingly both cut-off points the same

Thank you. My girl would want to apply for all girls school (offering O levels) and SCGS is closest to home with one straight bus.
With no open house this year due to covid19, it will be hard to learn more on the school. Need to read up from page one of this thread.
Any idea how many malays (roughly)? Less than 5 I guess?[/quote]Hi, my kid is in Sec 1 this year and you're right, there are 4 malay girls in the cohort. Hope this helps.
