Hi all


My elder DS is also taking PSLE this year. I’m worried that his bochup attitude towards studies will continue. Praying he will wake up his idea very soon.

Sometime as parents, we can only guide the children to the right path. If they don't listen, the next possible action is nag and nag and nag :rotflmao:

to the kids, guide = nag. it's january....8 months to psle, not long but not short either. ca1 should be after CNY...so it's revision time.

so so agree! guide = nag! I agree 8 months is not long, nor is it short. My other concern would be burnout before the actual if revision to start now. All I have been asking him to do is to read the model compo books as well as start his topical assessment book.

from june onwards, most schools will start to push. that is the time to monitor your children's behavior.
prelims are usually harder than psle...revise and take prelims as a form of revision but don't get burnt out.
save the energy for the BIG PICTURE ie psle.
during this period, revise lower block science. finish p6 topics by end may so that june can be spent revising.

my 2 kids were always dreaming when they were sitting for psle...they always feel there is plenty of time before psle.
last year, i chopped down many trees by printing out weekly timetables...they had to be flexible because of supplementary lessons, CCAs etc. i am adamant daughter followed the work assigned after getting school hw done. because she is forgetful, i had to revise different topics of lower block and upper block on different days.

Quite shocked that P6 workload has increased tremendously till we have no time to do assessment books


Last year no supplementary classes and not much homework, still can do some assessment books. Guess have to jump straight to practise on past year papers.
