I heard GEP test are chargable...and it varies from school to school... :?

Anyone know how much Rulang charges?

Just curious, at which level are the kids selected by the school to take the GEP test, how do they select and what's the criteria. P3? :?

Science is for p3 onwards.

HCL is only offered from p5 onwards.
I think CCA only for p3 onwards.

Hi, Starlight
Thanks for your clarification. So HCL is only offered after the P4 streaming, phew! There is no Continual Assements for lower P1 right!
I am due for my DS P1 registration this year so wanted to find out more abt this school. We will be in the phase2C registration, good luck for us! Heard this sch is v v popular in Jurong area.

For the P1 school timetable, does your kids have science lesson and for CL are they offering higher CL or normal CL. There is no CAs for p1 right?

Hi, Parents


My son is in K2 this year and he was rather slow in his mental calculation for addition & subtraction. I thought of signing him up for a math enrichment to build up his math foundation for P1. I’m in dilemma whether to enroll him into CMA abacus or the drilling based MPM. Can parents give me some opinion? . Hmmm, do you think is Math enrichment necessary for a child who is slow in mental calculation. javascript:emoticon(‘:?’) He is good in other math topics like graphs, time, and fractions. Any parents have kids in MPM, can share your experience?

For parents with kids in primary school with abacus background, does your kid have problem adapting to the number bonding method taught in school. javascript:emoticon(‘:|’)

Thanks for yr 2cts javascript:emoticon(‘:lol:’)
