2014 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

Nebbermind:
It's a fact that they donch really learn much in pri school. Just look at the textbook they have....and also, they can break this 1% group from the regular curriculum where they'll spend two+ year focusing mostly write-ups, case studies etc....and then back to earth 6 mths prior to PSLE and most can still do more than OK...
The 1% is the top 1%? I can believe that they don't need much time to prepare for PSLE. I have one daughter who is strong in Maths, and she didn't have any trouble with PSLE Maths even though she was studying it mostly on her own with a little help from my husband. She only joined Singapore school 3 mths before the exams. From what I see in my daughters who are at the opposite ends of the Maths spectrum, if the student understands the Maths, it's all easy; if the student doesn't/can't understand, it's blood-sweat-toil-tears and hair-tearing! It's not that they don't learn much in Pr school, I believe, but some kids get it faster and others need the full 6 yrs (and probably more). At higher levels, it's the same - one girl copes fine with A Maths, while the other one struggled so hard to even pass E Maths (we never even considered asking her to try A Maths). -
Is all the Sec 1 math same for all school? Wanted to start my DD with her math also but do not know how to start because not sure whether is different school has different kind of Math. Thanks.

Agree. Anxiously waiting but can't do anything. -

why don't you go for a short holiday break next week, since got 4 PSLE marking days (Tues - Fri) ?
Psle already over : enjoy yourself with your child -
If not around to collect results, wonder if its possible to collect from school later or MUST authorize someone to collect on the release date?

You can inform the school of your absence and collect later, or proxy someone to collect on your behalf. The (blank) proxy letter can be found in the Sec Sch Posting booklet. -
