This week I was glued to the internet, trying to see which schools have started sending out their EAE interview and/or aptitude test emails. We were waiting for three each for both GG & BB.

As it stands today, both have gotten two each and are waiting for one more to come in. They are for both interview and aptitude tests. Now we are hoping and praying that they clear the tests and impress the interviewers so that they get a confirmed conditional offer in August.

Of course, getting an offer now does not mean that they can slack at their O levels. Every course has its minimum entry requirements and if they don’t meet that after the results are declared, their conditional offer will be revoked and they join the pool of all those who didn’t get in though the EAE or DSA route.

That was our week, next week looks to be another hectic day with both of them being called for either interviews or an aptitude test, so here’s hoping for the best possible outcome!

Week one of the new term and things are really hotting up in schools. We have gotten the dates and in BB’s case, the timetable for their prelim exams. They will also have their O level English Oral exam sometime in August.

GG had applied to one of the junior colleges for Direct School Admission through her CCA which is Choir, and got called for an audition next week. She was super excited when she got the message even though this was something she was not particularly interested in. So lets see how this goes.

It’s going to be a hectic 4.5 months until mid-November when the O level exams finish. Then, if their EAE results have been declared by then, its time to party until the results are declared in mid-January.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Term 3 of school starts tomorrow and this means that their prelims is just a month or so away. It also means that their O level oral exams will happen in August. GG is already kind of freaking out about school but BB is still chill about it.

The EAE portal for polytechnics has also opened and we have submitted our applications. Now, we need to keep fingers crossed and pray that both get an offer for the course they are most interested in.

It is going to be hectic 4.5 months until the end of the O level exams. Till then, its all systems go for us!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Holidays are almost over and luckily both have finished up their holiday homework too. Now they can spend the rest of the holiday revising school work.

GG has her mother tongue intensive lessons this week and then there’s the EAE portal which opens up this week too. I have all my fingers (and toes also) crossed that they both get their course of choice.

That’s all for our week, see you next week!

Week 2 of the school holidays has just ended and we are at the halfway mark for the holidays.

The children had a couple of combined studies with their friends and they did say that they managed to do a fair bit of revision. I have told them, if studying with their friends is good to to studying well, then I don’t mind them doing them even a couple of times a week, at least till school reopens.

There’s really nothing much to add to the children’s schedule this week. They are busy completing their holiday homework and also trying to catch up on revision.

Have a lovely Sunday!
