I don't care what is the exam result. He loves the sea and marine animals. I am taking him out to the sea during June Holiday. :snuggles:

happyheart, when u say take him out to sea, how do u do that? Cruise? Yacht?

Haha... seems like only travels and play catch my attention, even though this is a PSLE discussion thread! :evil:

We will head off to Tioman Island for 3 days...snorkelling, canoeing, reading, fishing, eating & bonding! Are you going anywhere?

I am meeting my girl friends tonight to chill out first..this SA1 already stressed me out, I need rejuvenation!

Probably. Because they not physically around to tekan the kids. DD has to attend half day lessons for about 9-10 days in June.


The homework before SA1 period was crazy. :siao: :roll:

....and they still expected the kids to have time to revise. :siao: :roll:

Serious ah :evil:

How do you plan for June revision with your kids? Obviously the weakest subject and topic will get the most attention, like how many hours a day etc. Any suggestion or timetable to share for reference?

Past PSLE mummies,

Is it advisable to start working on past year prelim papers during this Holiday? Still have to finish all undone SA1 papers ?

As a form of revision, thinking of asking dd to finish all the undone SA1 and then prelim.

The schools should have covered all P6 syllabus by now. Term 3 is only revision & preparation for PSLE. Your child can try to attempt the past year prelim. If can't finish all SA1 & prelim papers. Select those more challenging ones.My boy did not do a lot of papers. It is quality that counts not quantity.

My opinion is that it's better to be selective. There's no need to do all the papers just because you have them. In areas where your child has no problems or few problems, then maybe just a little practice is enough. When my daughter was preparing for PSLE, because she was strong in Maths, we didn't ask her to do the MCQs or short questions most of the time, and assigned 6 problems sums a day. She would do some MCQs and short questions maybe once every 2 weeks or when it was part of the school homework. Similarly for the parts of the English paper which she usually found easy. If your child is too tired, he will absorb less well and probably be resentful. I also think that the child should ample relaxation and play time as it's still a long way from the PSLE. Aim to peak at the PSLE, not the prelims.

Thank you for the advice. How to tell whether the child has peaked already or not?
