Hi,


The topic rate is removed this year and speed will be removed next year.
For Paper 1 ~ 50min for 15MCQ and 15 short questions.
For Paper 2 ~ 1h 40min for 5 ‘short’ and 13 ‘long’ questions.

I think the time for paper 1 is a bit short. Or maybe my kid is tooo slowly, he has sufficient time for paper 2.

How do you use Andrew Er’s book to teach? By doing the sums?
Is it a guide book?
Is there any guide book for parents to read?

thanks.
