I find that some exam papers online…their answer seems incorrect. Is that normal ?

[passioninlearning]

Yes, you are right.

This is the very reason why I often advise parents to be wary when using such online resources.

Most of the time, they are correct but there are indeed some that I have found to be wrong. For those that you suspect are incorrect, you can actually post the query into the AskQ portion of this forum for verification.

Dear parents

Given limited time for revision, do you think it is more effective for our children to read the Chinese & Science textbooks to be familiar with the contents, or dive straight to do assessment/ test papers? How do your children do revision? Thanks for the advice!

For Chinese, it will be good to try out as many practices for sections that aren't directly related to the textbook syllabus as possible -
>>complete the conversation, compre (graphic stimulus with message writing): expose them to the commonly used/frequently appeared words and phrases in these sections such as 免费，详情，有限 etc.

>>compre (mcq), compre (open ended) - focus on interpreting underlying meaning and lessons & values that can be learnt from the story; get them to discuss/comment on the character (i.e. what kind of person they are, which aspect is/are worth learning, what would they do if in their shoes).

Studying textbook syllabus words and phrases mainly (directly) aid in first 15 mcq question and 5 cloze passage questions (of cos indirectly helps too if/when those words appear in compre passages)

hi 陈老师，

with limited time left, can give us guidance (tip) on how to prepare for ( 改 正错 字 / 填写 汉字 ) section ?

example

we have (P4, P5 and P6 Higher Chinese plus Normal Chinese textbooks). Each level textbook : cover 20 chapters, per level

should we focus on (P5 textbook 5B, P6 textbooks 6A, 6B), leave out (P4 and P5 textbook 5A), if we no time left ?
safe ? That means focus on (2nd half of P5 and the whole of P6) vocab ?

Thank you, for kind advice

Thank you, for kind advice[/quote]Hi phtthp, for this section from HCL paper, I would suggest focusing on the 识写字 from the HCL syllabus:
https://www.moe.gov.sg/docs/default-source/document/education/syllabuses/mother-tongue-languages/files/character-list-primary-higher-chinese-2007.pdf

While revising how to write the words, it is also helpful to read up on the common 词语s involving these 识写字 (can do so with the aid of 词语手册). For example 乖巧 may not have appeared in textbook passages but it can still be tested since both 识写字 appeared in 4A Chp 11 and 5B Chp 16 respectively. So by reading on the common 词语s involving 巧, the kid will know 巧合，恰巧，刚巧，巧妙 etc.

jj_1808:

Which website provides free download for P6 CA1 and SA1 2018 top school exam papers ?

current year (2018) : not free, unless you are able to inter-change your own school's P6 SA1 exam papers (questions) with students, from another primary school. Some schools are still having Prelim (P6 SA2) exam, this week.

u can buy Top school 2018 P6 SA1 exam papers to practise, from the shop located at ground-floor, Bras basah complex, right in front of the traffic light facing North Bridge road. I only saw 2018 P6 SA1 Standard papers for 4 subjects, but didn't see any 2018 P6 SA1 Foundation subject (paper) printed.

not sure if 2nd or 3rd floor shops complex sell Foundation subject (for those who need them)
