Hi, my son is in L9. It seemed like he did badly in SA2 for science and Chinese comparing to his SA1 results. I can feel that my son lost motivation in the second half year. Now he told me the highest score in Chinese is 85 /90, but he only got 72 /90. I felt so difficult to drive him now as he told me most of his friends have such marks. Science paper 2, highest 30+/40, but he got just 23 / 40 and told me most of students are like that. I really felt worried now. How far he will slip in the list in P6 final? The attitude really counts. He is dumb to scolding now. How to motivate him? He stay alone at home every afternoon. No pressure at all now.
Welcome.
I think most of the P5 pupils on this thread are from Loy9. I hear the same set of information from my boy.
Frankly, I am into panic mode after hearing his results for MA and HCL papers.
The only consolation is this round he passed his EL OE compreh (after days of intensive coaching) and he did well in his NC MCQ (only 1 qn wrong, after consistent practices since start of semester 2).
Since start of semester 2, he has been practising HCL and NC assessment books. He managed to get all correct answers. So imagine my shock when he came back home and told me he did not know any of the 语文应用 in the HCL paper 2. True enough, he failed this section 0/10 and paper 2. I do not know how else to help him in HCL.
MA has always been his strongest subject but this round he mis-read some questions. A supposedly 90+ turns out to be 80+.
Sci - I expected him to fail section B. True enough, he failed. What frightens me is he told me many questions are unfamiliar. Whatever happened to understanding and applying the concepts? If he is unable to do this, then he is in deep trouble.
That same day I logged into KSP and checked out reviews of Science tuition centres. Found one at True Learning Centre @ Jurong area. The centre is starting its Headstart P6 class this Fri 7.30pm. I will be checking out this centre.
Hope you find a way to motivate your child. Scolding is unlikely to help. -

Don't scold...it will not work. What your son needs now is encouragement...lots of it. Sit down with him, find out what went wrong. If he is having problems with certain subject, get help.
My son didn't feel any pressure even when PSLE was staring straight in his face. I panicked...he woke up in Sep. -
Normally what is the expected drop in marks from P2 to P3 for languages? I heard it drops like lead, this from ds’s CL tutor.

Dear P5 parents, did your children bring back papers for parents signing? My boy did not bring papers back yet. He only told me his marks. Science, he told me section A results are not out yet. Anyone know the status.

P3 will get their papers today. So i think likely P5 will get their papers today too. -

For my sons, it is a drop between 5 to 10 marks for languages. -

How do you know the next year class so early? I remember there will be a notification letter from school to tell the next year class in holiday.

P5 going to P6 - issue of HCL and foundation subjects. Unlikely to know which class next year before school closes.
