Thanks all for the tips!
Estéema, your son can finish 28 questions in 20 mins!?! That’s very very fast! Mine usually takes more than 45 mins (sometimes up to 1 hour if questions are tricky) for Booklet B… She is usually okay with Booklet B, but if too little time for Booklet B also no use…I think I will try to train her and time her just on a Booklet A…
Thanks so much! -

Thanks so much!
The basis is DC must hv strong science concept at finger tips for Booklet A & not to waste time. Booklet B requires more techniques & hinges on very steady basic concepts used in Booklet A. -

hi any moms willing to exchange prelim 2017 papers? i have acs and rosyth and i would like to get neighborhood school papers (not top school papers). pls let me know if you can exchange with me.

Estéema:
Hi EstéemaFor MCQ parents pls train your kids to do shading straight into OAS. A frd's DC top in class yearly but one year, whilst transferring his circled answers, he skipped a line on the OAS & failed his paper. No excuse & school cannot accept his reason. It was a hard lesson!
We can train our kids to use a watch to time themselves to complete Booklet A within X minutes (the usual time each child uses). Progressively, get them to better them timing. So, 1st try uses 30 min, after 2/3 MCQ papers, if she managed to do in shorter timing of 25 min, pls celebrate her achievement with her! :rahrah:
She shld build confidence towards actual PSLE. :imcool:
Train them to move on & not get stuck with a difficult qn. Make a mark or dog ear to answer when all qns completed in first round. Some might prefer to use 3M tags, whatever works for yr child. This ensures DC answer most qns & gain maximum marks. With balance of time check answers & go back to analyze the difficult qns left blank earlier. Time is precious!
It is better than having insufficient time coz DC trying to figure out the difficult qns earlier. Usually, it may mean loosing the \"higher value\" qns or loosing marks on qns your DC cld've easily answered & gain scores.
JMHO to train kids on these strategies & help them be aware of limited time during exams.
Encourage them that they can do it! 加油!
ALL THE VERY VERY BEST to all DC taking 2017 PSLE! Rest & Relax sufficiently.
my DC normally will have 4-6 questions wrong in MCQ.
For OEQ, normally 30/44...
You have any advise which area should i focus. Can i say her concepts is more or less there, just need to improve her answering technique ? thank you
All the best to all DC taking PSLE :rahrah: -
Dear Parents,
I am at my wit’s end how to help my son with science open ended portion. He used to do reasonably well for paper 2 but in recent prelim, he failed horribly. While revising the upper block yesterday, he suddenly broke down and told me he does not even know what kind of answers the teachers are looking for. I was totally taken aback as this is the first time in 6 years that he snapped while revising. He claimed he does not even know what he does not know. Even when most or all key words are there, it was zero mark everywhere on the paper which he could not understand why. I am not sure if the above is a common problem for science.
This is one subject that I am unable to help him at all. I asked him to check with teacher what was wrong with his answers and to me, his wrong answers appear similar to the corrections. He said his classmates did check with teacher but all were brushed off as teacher said ‘wrong means wrong, sit down and copy down the correct answers…… go back to revise and memorise’. To me, science is more than just memorizing.
Normally we use the top school papers but I think the issue is with the wrong answers in the answer sheet. Unless parents are able to understand and mark on their own instead of relying on the answers, top school science paper may end up doing more harm than good.
As PSLE science is just 2 weeks away, I hope experienced parents here can share with me how I can help my child to gain back his confidence and study effectively. The last I want is for him to get burnt out and suffer a mental breakdown.
If it is not appropriate to share or post here, I hope some kind soul can send me a PM. Thank you in advance. -
I noticed this year marking is quite strict for Science OEQ. I have asked the school teacher and was told
a. correct keyword required
b. sequence of answering is required, which they said use Claim Evidence Reason (CER)
c. any conflicts concept will get marks deducted.
I guess this partly why is not easily even to get 1/2 marks now.
