Nightmares.:

Well... not quite. I've only just started intensive revision last week. So I'll be revising like crazy until 2nd October.

I haven't even started revising at home but I still feel very stressed up, even got headache due to too much thinking.
Last week start still not too late, unlike me, treating the papers as if it is just my Mock Prelim, never revise at all. :oops:

Sounds like you are feeling stressed out already. It's ok to feel stressed out. You may want to start revising so that the stress gets less, just thinking. I feel maybe it's because there's not much revision n this leads to the stress.

You know it's pretty easy to revise. Assuming you have no tuition on that day, and if you start revising at 3.30pm, you can easily fit in 4hrs of revision as well as a ten minute break between every hour and a 40 minute break plus 1 hour of TV, assuming you eat dinner in 15 minutes, and still end your schedule before 11.

About 5 weeks ago I did experiment with PLUS Whiper correction tape (the blue colour one). I put under a heavy stack of paper (in cool dark place) to check whether the tape will peel off or not. Yesterday I checked and it didn't peel off from the paper :boogie:


We used JetStream pen and the writing under the correction tape didn't re-appear too.

One thing I realized is that this correction tape is thin so I can still see the shadow of what was written under the correction tape. However, we will still use this correction tape because DS is used to it already and I didn't check other correction tape.


Disclaimer: We have no connection at all with PLUS Whiper correction tape and JetStream companies. Result may vary due to production batches and environment where the PSLE papers are stored. Use at own risks.

Does you children still have supplementary class in school this week? DS still needs to go back on Mon and Wed. I’m surprised school still wants supplementary class on Wed when Thur is the exam.


DS has so many papers to do that we dont really have time to "revised". As in, go through those papers that he did and revised to ensure he remember his mistake.

I wonder if this is the strategy for all the school in doing endless amount of papers.

Thank you! your sharing is indeed helpful! I have not even thought of the above experiment!

My dc's school has stopped giving homework since the September holidays. School days are spent going through the practice papers and psle booklets they had done earlier. So there is much free time to do own revision. It's a good arrangement for those who have help at home. My dc gets to practise some top schools' 2013 prelim papers I have selected. Last day of remedial lesson is today. Then it's light revision and relaxation before the big days.
Do prepare healthy food and cooling tea for your kids and ensure they have enough rest. My dc's classmate contracted HFMD early last week. He might have missed the LC. Thank God he didn't pass the virus around. Hope he will get well soon to sit for the psle.

Dd still has supp class on Mon & Tue and maybe Fri.
Same here, loads of papers & worksheet. Since DD is strong in Maths, since last week i have asked her to skip the Maths MCQ & short questions. As for the long questions, browse & skip whatever she thinks is easy/can handle. Similarly, to skip the copying of compositions. Save some energy & time for revision & more rest.
