Testimonials about the Possibility & Probability Smart-Study program

“I dropped out of school at the age of 14 (Sec 2). I was not interested in studies and had problems understanding what the teachers were teaching. I was always getting into trouble and was very bored in school. I started to realize how important studies are because I was not able to get a stable job. Most of the jobs required ‘O’ levels. In February 2002, I decided to take my ‘N’ Levels. But I was lost and not able to find the right tutors to help me. I was introduced to the P & P smart-study method by a social worker. Within 4 months I was confident and motivated to pass my ‘N’ Level. I found the smart-study method simple and easy to use. Now I am preparing for my ‘O’ Levels and I am very confident that I will make it too.” – Mr. Omar, 23 years old, Redhill Close

“I was placed in a mixed class with EM 2 & EM 3 students in Primary 5. I was always weak in English and Math. My test scores were very poor. Teachers told me that I am more suitable for Normal Technical Stream after my PSLE.

When I went through the P&P smart-study method, I started to gain confidence and started to believe that I can make it to Normal Academic Stream after my PSLE. I was very happy that the smart-study method really helped me.

Now I am in the Normal Academic Stream. In my Secondary One, I was one of the top 10 students in my class after my final exams.” – Joseph Koh, 13 years old, Hillview Ave.

“Beginning of this year, I was not doing well for my Math and English. I love to read storybooks, but was not doing well for my English. Most of the times, I get Band 3 and 4 for my subjects. The P&P smart-study method made me realize my full potentials. I was able to plan my work and think smartly in the subjects. It also made me more confident and mature in my thinking. I was not surprised when I got an ‘A’ for my Math, ‘A’ for my English and ‘B’ for my Science in the PSLE exam. My average aggregate was more than 200.” – Nicolette J., 12 years old, Toa Payoh, Lor 5

“I did very well for my PSLE about 4 years ago. I was placed in a top Secondary School. After 3 months in Secondary School, I lost interest in my studies and dropped out. My parents tried to make me continue my Secondary education. I started to play truant and was facing a lot of discipline problems in school. I just hated going to school. In my first year at Secondary One, I did not complete my studies, my attendance was very poor. I was given a chance to repeat my Secondary One.

The following year, I refuse to attend school. I was only interested to work and earn money so that I could enjoy life. In 2002, I was given a final chance to complete my Secondary One.

Upon the suggestion of my counselor, I was introduced to the P & P smart-study method. At first, I was not interested and thought that it was a waste of time. But as I went along with the program, I stared to get interested and challenged by the approach used. I completed my Secondary One with very good grades, now I have completed my Secondary Two and looking forward to complete my ‘O’ levels.” – Sherman Kwek, 15 years old, Bedok Reservoir Road
