Learning Points
We had been concerned with YXiang academic progress for sometime already. Last year, the alarm sounded when we realised that he was not able to read nor write at all. Since I was working freelance with ‘X’ education centre, I enrolled him in their reading programme. He failed the entrance tests – not once but [...]

Samples Q1:
Jane is standing in a line. She is the 5th from the left and the second from the right. How many [...]
