I would be interested to hear from parents how effective they feel the preparation done by the schools, tuition centres and/or private tutors were in preparing their children for the English oral examination.

I must stress that I am not endorsing any centre; I am simply sharing what parents of my own tutees have reported.

I take the oral preparation very seriously. The weightage of this component is extremely high if you consider the 10-20 mins needed to complete the paper.
15% for PSLE and 20% for O Levels.

But it seems to be the neglected element of most educators from what I have gathered.
Students are given notes (as always), but actually practice I understand is not frequent.

The ability to articulate with proper diction will be most beneficial in life so I do devote the first part of my lessons to oral practice. This duration will increase whenever any oral examination is round the corner.
