2017 PSLE Discussions and Strategies

Good to know you let your DD be on regular mode. Some kids thrive amongst peers & get the spur when teachers discussing & preparing their mindset in class last few days prior to exams. Kids generally want to do well & receive affirmation fr teachers & parents. This is the time to relax & chat loving with them to let them know parents live & support them whatever comes.DD still go to school including today. In fact she said yesterday the class still have art lesson, & she said it's good to see everybody enjoy art for 1 period, like a way to de-stress abit during this time. Today she also have PE lesson which she is looking forward.
Like other KS parents, we always feel our child have not fully prepare for this major exam. Initially I was tempted to lock my DD up at home for this 3 days for intensive study at home till PSLE day. But on second thoughts, I decided to let her go to school to interact with classmates & teachers for half a day to de-stress. Teachers still go through revision, give tips, during this 3 days. I can see my DD really study very hard & seriously this time after back from school. Maybe when she have reasonable of de-stress time, she studies more effectively...^-^
DS had his glasses brushed off to the floor & broke the bridge by his classmate just before one SA2. Coincidentally, I was just briefing him after dinner, to relax & be calm no matter what happens as life can be unpredictable. Anyway, as adults we've to handle whatever life bounce to us & fortunately DS said he rmbr'd my warnings & didn't spend time fussing over it tho teacher asked if he wants more time for his paper. He said he just calm himself told his classmate accidents do happen & held on to his glasses with one hand while writing with the other. Que Sera Sera, he made the other boy less guilty & I was proud how he handled himself. His grades turn out as good as he had always been doing.
Must prepare our kids to take things st strike & no be anxious or panic in every situation. I always tell him to pray in his heart.
Tmr is your special day! Relax, hv a good relaxing time, eat dinner early & early bedtime.
All the best to all PSLE students! -

Oh no, definitely not stressed or worried over it. Afterall, PSLE is still based on T-score and not raw marks. Just curious for ownself how SEAB will set the papers this year.
:goodpost:Funz:
No point wondering.
Easy or tough paper, all the kids will be sitting for the same set of papers. End results will also be similar whether the paper is tough or easy.
After each paper is done, move on. Do not dwell on the paper. Last thing you want is for your kid to be affected by a paper that is already done.
easy or tough...don't stress yourself over it. marks are moderated. that's why there are 4 marking days and a lengthy period before results are released. AFTER each paper is over, don't compare. you will be worried for nothing. -
P6s…you have prepared for this exam since the beginning of the year. Calm your nerves and tell yourself you can do it. All the best. After 2moro’s exam, move on and don’t dwell on what is already over.

Even for adults, spectacles incidents can be :nailbite: especially if no spare is available. Well done to your son in handling this situation, he has shown so much maturity

Your DS made you proud. Hats off to him.

Thank you myteapot, Gangjiongspider & ksraja69. :thankyou:
Yes, indeed, am proud of him. I shld admit, tho there are trying times with him esp he gets 'bored' easily so hv to find ALOT of constructive stuff to occupy his time. Ano is when he \"thinks out of box\", so must guide him coz some things maybe I'm just not used to but he's always different. I'm like in a bind - s'times celebrate that he can generate new ideas & create new things but s'times things don't work out that way esp when it's safety issues, etc. Generally, thankful & grateful he's what he's created to be. Just hv to keep an eye & guide. -

Oh! Mine also accidentally brushed hers off and broke during prelims! She went to buy scotch tape at the bookshop to fix it back during recess on her own, she was pretty calm about it. But I think it affected her prelims performance - she got her first question after that wrong due to \"careless\" - added a unit sign when the answer already has a unit sign (so kenna minus 1 mark), cannot see properly.... :sad:

So now, I make sure she brings her spare in her bag!! :xedfingers: -
my friend told me her daughter’s glasses had to break the day before psle…it was perfectly alright all the while. strange things do happen. daughter brought 2 calculators for her psle…hubby checked all the functions the night before and also changed to a new set of batteries. she also managed to get another sticker for a spare calculator (courtesy of her gor gor).

Pat on her shoulder, she'll be my go-to for quick solution when emergencies. Markers so unkind la! Mummy shld give her more than that one mark docked, for staying calm & fast solution - reward her loh! I'll buy her nice flowers or pure chocolates. :love:
Great, mommyNg good thot with backup glasses. She shld hv full confidence now.
