2015 PSLE Discussion and Strategies

Hi parents, is it better to do P6 top sch exam papers or Psle 5 /6 years series?

[Funz]

Reading some of the posts I think DD’s school is rather laid back, contrary to the impression people have of the school. DD did not have any supp classes until she was in P4 and each session was only 1hr. Even then, the supp classes were only once a week for maybe 2 terms, not for all 4 terms. Until now in P6, her homework is manageable. Ok, too little in my opinion. Come to think of it, during niece’s time in the school, she also had very little homework and did not have to stay back in school much.


Talking to parents of some of my ex students, I hear them saying that their kids’ workload is unbelievable. Homework everyday. They show me their kids tingxie and I almost fainted. I hear of P1 and P2 kids having supp classes. I look at my nephew’s work and I wonder, what are these schools trying to prove? Is there some deliberate attempt for top schools to back off and the rest of the schools to go supernova academically?

I hearsay that if lack of time, just do NYPS and RGPS papers will suffice + PSLE past yr papers.

I intend to let my P5 ds do those PSLE papers starting this Dec hols.

My dc sch compulsory supp/ remedial class is in P4 (twice weekly) P5 , P6 (thrice weekly). I agree it is very tiring and I cannot give doc more home revision too


Items covered can be extension of curriculum lessons , newspaper review,
Or working thru assessment which sch ask the students to buy.

Dc sch actually band the students according to each subject grade, Eg a child in 6A may attend Math in 6.2 . Thus the disparity in maths for students in class is smaller n kids can progress along similar pace. Even the assessment bk also diff for diff classes to suit ability of kids

P1 to P3 are by special invitations only for weaker students .

Your dotter is already a doc! :scared: :yikes:

Wah-piang, how could you ask me such a sensitive question?

Enrichment payment usually quarterly...est a K per subject excluding other enrichment...about $4~5k per qtr?
