We still have some time left. 2 1/2 months (excl May) to mid Aug for the Prelim Exam....Just break them down into individual weeks to plan in detail for the 4 subjects...
Just need our DC to spend it wisely and efficiently to revise. And to attempt the test papers for them to get used to the format and time constraint/limit. We as parents will do our best to support our DC...motivate and encourage them.

I am getting my DS to spend more time on his MT. He needs further improvement in his HCL...Both wife and I are not able to help DS at all in MT....

Break down all the available time into individual weeks. Whatever public holidays and public holidays would be fully utilized from now.

List down all the topics for each subject to be revised. Then plan the schedule based on the topics you want to revise. Based on my schedule, we will go into mid July by the time we finish math and science…that is if my daughter cooperates.

Do exam practice is better. After that attack the weak areas. This is what I do even for my weaker students.

How do we revise languages??

Gabby:

Demoralised and disappointed to hear my DS results.

In my kids' school, it is known that SA1 is set to be tough...
sort of a wake up call to the children to buck up for the home stretch.

Perhaps it's the same for your DS school?

TA,
you mean the reverse? do exam practice first and then zoom into weak areas?

DD's tr just called to check cos DD's performance was below expectation in every component which she said was unusual of dd. Tr couldn't get my DD to talk to her... I have no idea too :faint:

Maybe your DD is nervous. My DS also didn't do well for SA1 :stupid:

[Funz]

That’s what we did. By now most of the topics are already covered. So exam papers first, see where the problem areas are if it is answering technics we address that, if it is carelessness, drilling, if it is weak grasp of concepts, revisit topic using topical assessments that we have or the worksheets/notes that school had done/given with them.

Yes, DS school also. And so I guess, it is going to affect his DSA chances
