Aiming for RI or HCI

[Mama_alicia]

Kid is P3 and aiming to get him into RI or HCI. Any insights on the difference between the 2 schools and what can I do to help him to score AL 4? Not planning to DSA, going to rely on AL to get in, thanks

every day give tuition for 2-3 subjects

7 days a week tuition

no play, no games, no friends

finish school, go tuition, come home, do homework, sleep.

rinse and repeat for next 3 years.

always remember, the stupidest kid in RI is still better than the smartest kid from a neighborhood school

English good?
Chinese good?

got read books widely?

Sci and math can tiew until AL1.

but
not so easy for languages.
So 1-1-2-2 or 1-1-1-3 is worst the kid can get.

plan accordingly.

Husband and I are bilingual and we try to speak mandarin to him as much as possible

Don't over stress your kid lar. Later unalive himself then you regret

He is in SAP school now, taking higher Chinese. He only goes for Chinese tuition. He is one of top scorers in class for WA1. In the midst of WA2 now, so results not known yet

Yes, he scored well for all the 4 subjects for WA1. How to continue to score well for science?

i think if you want more clout go for ACS

 

[galmongie]

Did you talk to him about his dreams and preferences?

He got screen time to relax, don’t worry!

RI and HCI more prestigious right?

 

[Mama_alicia]

He wants to be a lawyer

I prefer HCI, culture there is better but I won't elaborate. Buy top 10 school papers for your child to practice.
