Dear all,
This Saturday, that is tomorrow, there is NO class as I need the time to prepare for the LC examinations.
Do matke good use of the time to revisit the Prelim Papers, especially those questions that we had gone through for the three days.
Relook at the Star questions to check if you see the diagram.
Have a good weekend and I will see you on Monday. There is Supplementary lesson on Monday.
Love you,
Mrs Mak

Prelim Practice 8b
Dear all,
For Q13, angle z is the acute angle at point B. It is blocked by the shaded area of the triangle.
Do make use of these few days to reflect what you can do to ensure you can have a fruitful revision before 29 Sept. Be
S- specific (have a timeline to set yourself on the subject or topic you want to revise)
M- measureable ( how can you tell your revision is effective? )
A-achieveabe ( how do you know you have achieved your target or aim in that revision?
R- results ( if you were to do a parallel question on that concept, can you apply it and fully understand
how to solve the problem?)
T- timebound ( with one hour, can you maximise your time to revise or it was wasted because you have
squandered the time daydreaming or doing something else).
Love,
Mrs Mak

Secondary Schools
Dear all,
I went to look up the book which you will be receiving at a later date on choosing your Secondary Schools.
I thought you had better be well informed of the cut-off points. The results are based on 2010's cohort, thus when you get your book this year, there may be some changes to the cut-off points. Use the data below as a reference:
Express NA
Anderson 248 - 268 189 - 199
Bowen 221 - 245 182 - 199
Catholic High 249 - 264
Cedar Girls 244 - 271
Compassvale 217 - 243 178 - 198
Hougang 211 - 235 171 - 191
Nan Chiau 232 - 252 184 - 199
North Vista 208 - 240 173 - 197
Punggol 188 - 240 152 - 193
Seng Kang 203 - 230 173 - 199
Serangoon 188 - 232 152 - 184
Xin Min 242 - 263 188 - 199
Do start to think of where your grades will lead you to. It is not too early to plan for your choices.
Remember Ms Chua spoke to you about the IMPORTANT word "CHOICE" and the MOST FEARFUL word "REGRET"?
Which word would you choose? The choice is YOURS...
Always there for you,
