"I thought it was still O-Levels and L1R5..." If that's what you've been thinking, you're not alone.

Singapore's education system has changed. Students will now graduate with the Singapore-Cambridge Secondary Education Certificate (SEC), and JC admission is now based on L1R4 instead of the familiar L1R5.

So what does this mean for students today?

In this reel, Charlize explains:
✅ What the SEC is
✅ What L1R4 and ELR2B2 mean
✅ Why Sec 2 is an important year for subject combination
✅ The compulsory and elective subjects in upper secondary
✅ Why WA1, WA2, WA3 and EOY all matter

Whether you're a parent trying to understand the new system or a student planning ahead, we hope this video helps make the changes a little clearer.

I failed my first Sec 1 Math WA1.

I remember feeling really discouraged. After doing well in primary school, I never expected secondary Math to be this different.

But that wasn’t the end of my story.
With support from my coaches, consistent practice, and a study routine that my mum helped me build, I slowly gained confidence again.

By my very next WA, I scored an A1.
Now, I’m preparing for my EOY exams with a clear revision plan, and I’m working towards my goal of studying Architecture in Polytechnic.

If you’re struggling with Math right now, don’t let one result define you. Sometimes all you need is the right support, the right strategy, and time to grow. 💚

✔️ Strengthen key P5 concepts
✔️ Close learning gaps
✔️ Develop higher-order problem-solving skills
✔️ Practise exam-style questions
✔️ Build confidence before EOY
 
📅 Starts: Tuesday, 4 August 2026
🕒 Time: Tuesdays, 3.00pm – 4.45pm

36% of the PSLE Math paper starts here.
If I were taking PSLE Math today, this is where I would focus first.

🔹 Numbers – 27%

🔹 Ratio & Percentage – 9%

Together, that’s 36% of the paper.
Most parents see these as separate topics.
They’re not.

Students who struggle with fractions often struggle with ratio and percentage too because the underlying concepts are closely connected.

One weakness. Not three.

But here’s the important part.
Scoring AL1 isn’t about mastering just one topic.

The students who consistently score AL1 and AL2 are strong across all five strands:

✅ Numbers & Ratio/Percentage – 36%

✅ Measurement – 24%

✅ Statistics, Rate & Algebra – 22%

✅ Geometry – 18%

Each strand tests a different skill.

Measurement and Geometry require strong visualisation.
Statistics requires careful interpretation of data.
And Numbers remains the foundation that supports almost everything else.

Less than 4 months to PSLE.
Prelims begin in August.

June is one of the last opportunities to close learning gaps before the exam stretch begins.
That’s why our June P6 Workshops are organised by strand, allowing students to focus on the specific areas they need most.

✅ Guided practice

✅ Detailed explanations

✅ Immediate walkthroughs

✅ Maximum 10 students per class

Dear Student,

If you’re telling yourself...

💭 “I’ll start tomorrow.”
💭 “There’s still plenty of time.”
💭 “I used to know this, I’ll remember it when school reopens.”

Be careful.

A few weeks without practice can turn familiar topics into forgotten concepts. The challenge isn’t unfinished homework — it’s trying to remember methods, formulas, and techniques you’ve not used for weeks.

This June, don’t let forgotten concepts become bigger struggles in Term 3.

Join our Solve Smarter This June workshops and use the holidays to revisit weaker topics, strengthen your foundations, and rebuild your confidence before school resumes.

✅ Revisit forgotten concepts

✅ Clarify weaker topics

✅ Strengthen problem-solving methods

✅ Start Term 3 feeling prepared

Because sometimes, progress isn’t about getting ahead.
It’s about closing the gaps.

Every F1 driver is talented.

But talent alone doesn’t make them champions.

Jeriel — Sec 1 at Swiss Cottage and a huge F1 fan — realised that the same thing applies to students too.

The best students aren’t just “smart.”

They build the same 4 qualities great drivers have:

1️⃣ Driven — wanting to truly understand, not just pass

2️⃣ Resilience — making mistakes, then trying again

3️⃣ Open Mind — listening, adjusting, trying new methods

4️⃣ Discipline — showing up consistently, not just during exam season
Because improvement doesn’t happen overnight.

Even F1 drivers don’t start at F1.

They climb:
F4 → F3 → F2 → F1
Step by step. 🏎️
And honestly?
Grades work the same way too.

P2 is where the trap is set.

Look at this P2 question:
“Sam has 8 sweets. Tim has 3 sweets less than Sam. How many altogether?”

Most P2 students will calculate it mentally — 5 + 8 = 13 — and get the right answer.

But model drawing isn’t about getting the right answer at P2. It’s a spiral skill that builds across every year. The real habit is bigger than drawing:

✏️ Break the question into smaller parts
✏️ Annotate what’s given
✏️ Annotate what’s asked
✏️ Then draw

If your child skips this at P2, there’s nothing for upper primary to spiral up from.

By P5, they’re staring at questions like this — from our actual June mock exam:

“Ravi had 4 times as many 20¢ coins as 50¢ coins. He exchanged 100 of his 20¢ coins for 50¢ coins. Now he has 38 more 50¢ coins than 20¢ coins. How many more 20¢ coins did he start with?”

You can’t solve this in your head. They need the spiral skill. If it isn’t there — they freeze.

That’s not “weak at math.” That’s a foundation gap. And it’s fixable.

This June, we rebuild from the right tier:

🟢 BASIC — Part-Whole + Comparison
For P2, P3, and P4 still struggling with problem sums.

🟡 INTERMEDIATE — Repeated Identity
The default for most P3 and P4 students.

🔴 ADVANCED — Before-Change-After
For P3 and P4 already confident with comparison.

🔵 P5 — Problem-Solving Workshops
Before-Change-After Concept + Remainder Concept.
The earlier you rebuild, the easier it is.

DM us ‘MODEL’ with your child’s level and one line on what they got stuck on. We’ll match the right workshop.

Even Kimi Antonelli can’t skip Math.
 
Mercedes’ 18-year-old rookie flew home from his first F1 podium to sit his school exams — his mum insisted. And the subject he struggles with most? Math.
 
If he can’t skip it, neither can your child.
 
PSLE Math is 2h 30 min. O-Level Math is 4h 30 min. Longer than an F1 race.
 
Meet Jeriel — Sec 1 at Swiss Cottage, Mercedes fan. He thinks Math is basically F1. Hear him out 👆
 
Here’s what most parents don’t know about mock exams in Singapore:
 
Your child sits the paper. Gets a score. Goes home.
 
That’s it.
 
We do it differently. Every paper gets walked through with your child — immediately, while the questions are still fresh. Then you take home a written analysis: actual score vs potential score, careless mistakes vs conceptual gaps, and exactly which topics to revise next.
A score without a walkthrough is just a score.

"WA is actually very different from Prelims and End-of-Year exams."

That's something Mahaut realised last year… slightly the hard way 😅

Because short WA papers? One thing. Full papers, stamina, and revising old topics consistently? A whole different challenge.
And here's the scary bit:
 
📅 Some Prelims start in August 📅 Some EOY exams begin in September

Which means once June is over… there's basically no buffer left.

So Mahaut's using the June holidays to: ✅fix weaker topics ✅practise full papers ✅build stamina before exams begin
