None of my nieces had tests during Primary One. Even though there were mock tests, none of the results from the mock tests were taken into consideration at the year end examination. But not Keatkeat’s school.

Keatkeat’s school which was my Primary School too, decided to initiate a new system of assessment. Its back to the good old days. *wink*

Maths

Seriously, it does not matter to me, but what nudged me to write this post was the CHINESE TESTS AND MATHS TESTS both fall on the SAME DAY! *faint*

Man! Keatkeat’s stress level rose when he marked it down on his calendar. “Huh? 2 Tests on the same day? Then no time to play!” was his immediate response.

A little update on his progress. His Maths is Awesome so long as he stops being over-confident of himself and starts making silly mistakes. How silly are his mistakes? Here is an example:

maths1

He did all the sums right, but he copied the letters wrongly! *faint*

Silly Enough? No? Look at the next one:-

maths2

He forgot to write the letter “m” for monkeys and “b” for bananas!!! *Double faint*

And that was how he could not get Full Marks for his maths exercises. What a waste! *pout*

So 11th March is the ‘deadly day’. Both Maths and Chinese Test. I call these two subjects his “A” subjects. Why? Well, his Maths is Awesome and his Chinese is Awful!

His Chinese is so bad that his dad is seriously considering to get him into a tuition center. *eyes rolled* To me, nahhh…. its expected and I can accept that fact, but not his beloved Papa.

Oh well, we shall see his performance after the Tests on 11th March first, before his Papa takes any actions.
