2019 PSLE Discussions and Strategies (Children born in 2007)

[alng]

Even when the syllabus content and exam format changes, the skills assessed for English, Chinese, Maths and Science remain more or less the same. The new PSLE English adds a new skill on critical thinking. So these past papers are still good for practice.


Our kids should not be just drilled on certain exam formats only. It is the skills that need to be focused on. And drilling too much on formats will affect their application skill when the question formats and scenarios change.

The strategy is to buy every year from P1 and by the time the child reaches P6, parents would have collected 9 year series of PSLE papers. Not far from our usual 10 year series. Bravo! A great way to teach our students to rely on 10 year series!

Buy so much : got time to practise so many past years' questions ?

How about rest of the other Assessment books, purchased ?

I prefer to let my kids reinforce skills topic by topic and then select certain questions from past year series to practise.

out of the blue, MOE decided to throw out the past year PSLE papers...so come 2019, who knows what is going to happen again?

Not relevant to 2007 children. Why? Because the children born in 2007 will take New Syllabus PSLE paper for Math in 2019. Can buy 2018 PSLE Math past year paper to refer only as that will be the first revised syllabus virgin Math paper. Haha. As for Science, can buy 2017 and 2018 these 2 past year Science papers to refer to based on new Science syllabus. For English, can buy 2015, 2016 and 2017 past PSLE papers in the year 2018 when the golden piggies are in P5.

Lots of syllabus changes so no point for golden piggies mummies to buy the 3 years series so early.

May I check, what is the difference between the old and new Maths syllabus? Any changes (addition/deletion) in topics? I was reading the below document and am still :scratchhead: :?

Honeymoon was over, school works and activities (CCAs - Clubs) are getting more and more, needs to spend about 1 to 2 hrs to finish it at home daily, her right hand finger has started growing a callus 手指生茧 and getting thicker and thicker.


Can’t imagine 2019 PSLE? But tough tasks for parents!

Hi, your dd school is giving too much homework. There is a recommended homework guideline recommended for primary school to follow. P2 should not have to do more than an hour homework daily. The P2s should have time for family bonding, leisure activities and rest.
