how do you revise Chinese zuo wen (Paper 1) and Paper 2 Chinese Compreh? for zuo wen : which model compo books, to read from ?

For zuo wen, the various sources would be school generated ones & from enrichment centres etc.
For compre, whether it is English or Chinese, it is important that the passage can be understood first, otherwise child will find it difficult to answer questions on it, let alone infer answers, as required for English. Hence building vocab is important for both the languages. Techniques like annotation of the compre passage is useful for some kids

Again agree with CMF. Besides 好词佳句, it is useful to memorise paragraphs of good beginnings & endings (extracted along the way as you read). 好词佳句 alone is not going to help much if they are not applied meaningfully in your writing. I'd in fact recommend reading Draft 2 of your own writing.

I can only hope to reduce careless mistakes...what I do is use a calculator to add up the marks she lost due to carelessness and show her what would have been the grand total if she had been more careful. Same her the other subjects.

Exams over next week...no work from me for the rest of the week (thur-sun). Revision begins mid November.

Will be doing science lower block/upper block 2 days, math 1 day, English 2 days. Won't be fun filled 6 weeks holiday...can't afford that luxury when PSLE is just next year.
