Good pieces of advice from Joy of Learning 111
And yes zbear is quite right , majority of examiners are nice …they know the child is nervous…it’s only natural. One of my DS1’s MTL oral examiner was stone faced but thankfully, the other one was nice and smiling so he felt better.
The funny thing about my boys’ MTL teachers in primary school is that they are very expressionless during oral exams…so both my DS have always felt really at unease during oral exams. The English teachers have always been nice.
If there are any teachers reading this, please be nice to the PSLE kids during oral exams. They are under tremendous stress and a kindly face or a kindly word would go a long way towards easing their pain. -

a friend told me the student she tested was shivering from the stress. she & her other examiner had to calm him before they could start asking questions...that's the amount of stress our kids face.

SpartanMum:
Fully understand what you are going through, but I guess as PSLE parents, we just have to keep calm, and \"chill\"...and do not forget if we are overly stressed or nervous, it gets transferred to our kids...I know it is hard...but have to TRY our best.My brain says relax but the rest of me is just going berserk.

DS2 who is sitting for PSLE has been watching Olympics past few days. He certainly looks \"chill\". I think that's his character but I am not exactly used to it as DS1 is really quite different.
Also my stamina is not so good in following up with DS2 like I did with DS1.
These are the factors which are troubling me I think, more than anything else. Just have to keep assuring myself that All will be well! -
SpartanMum:
exact feelings here. lots of energy with my older one, but now tyre kind of punctured. worried about her progress but yet can't follow as closely. :frustrated:
