Maths is always his favourite subject. But not Science, CL and HMT. I believe your DS also do pretty well in his CA1, esp Maths.

Mum1113:

Mine was told if HMT does not meet minimum scores during CA1, kids cant' take the actual exams during PSLE.

Here is the email replied from DS's Chinese Teacher, I was asking if the students need to score > 70 in order to sit for PSLE's HMT:

In CFS, we believe in building up the long term interest for Chinese in our children and we do not have the policy that you stated.

In fact, you may wish to know that our number of HCL classes have been increasing over the past few years. With our kind of numbers, there will of course be people who will not perform that well for HCL, but we believe in grooming the future of our nation, instead of simply shoring up brilliant statistics for the school.

Actually it is true, when come to their favourite subjects, they will excel and want to best perform yaa :love:
On the other side of the coin, only if all the subjects they love, then do well, we parents can qiao-jiao , shake leg right ... :rotflmao:

It is very encouraging from your school's perspective, it drives the students' desire to learn CL more, and for late boomers, they can continue to excel just maybe take a little longer to prove it on their marks only.. :goodpost:

Wow amazing, to be pulled up by compre in paper 2, is something not easy, :ugogirl: .... should be YOU GO BOY

DS as usual came back with unsatisfactory EL and CL results. A handful of mistakes due to carelessness, but mostly overall can see language foundation not exactly there.


Anyone has any effective way to try to improve languages from now till PSLE? I know time is short and it is not easy to see results for languages in a short time, but I am hoping for some tips on how to improve certain sections of the EL or CL paper to assist to pull up the overall marks. Thanks in advance for the sharing.
