Depends on which primary school.Love Clouds:
I strongly advise parent(s) to accompany their children as they really need mental support.
My DDs' sch announced those students who got 250 or more and they stood up in the hall to receive the cheers they deserved.
All the best to P6 students tomorrow!
Wow 250 above could be a lot of pupils.... to go on stage....
In some neighbourhood schools, can be single-digit students scored 250 & above, while in other schools, this can be a double-digit number.
Depends on how much effort the P6 subject Teachers in respective schools had chipped in to \"push\" & to motivate their students to work hard, plus the joint collaborative effort coming from parental guidance support & encouragement received at home. -
Parents tonight would have some problems going to sleep…honestly what’s done is already done…I remember losing sleep for weeks. Mum told me there is nothing I can do. Still, I had problems sleeping. After knowing results 2moro, there will be one more hurdle - secondary school posting before the entire primary school education is truly over.
I wish you P6s all the best. Go out for a good meal after collecting the results. You deserve it, your child deserves it. -
I am very excited and can’t sleep tonight. Just coax my ds to sleep at 10.30pm and promised that I won’t be angry and scold him tomorrow. He will still get his lunch treat or high tea just like the mother and dd from the book by Monica Lim "The good, The bad and the PSLE Trails of an almost Kiasu Mother" he has finished reading. The story is about the mother, a journalist, her son and her daughter with PSLE score of 232. The daughter worked very hard, never let the mother worry about her but in the end she did not reach her goal. The mother didn’t scold her and still be there for her. They went to their favourite café after receiving her results.
He wants me to double confirm that he will not be thrown out of my house if he fails to get above 250. I feel guilty about this. I always thought he will not take it seriously as he seems totally "switched off" the moment I speak.
True enough P6 students need moral support tomorrow. I keep telling my ds it is not the end of the world if he can’t get 250. Give him lots of hugs and pat on his head. I keep repeating to myself he will score well.
Parents, please monitor your child closely for one week and hope that they will not do silly things. -

it's not the score that matters...it's the effort. as this is a national exam, the grades will be moderated.He wants me to double confirm that he will not be thrown out of my house if he fails to get above 250.

what the kids need to know is whatever score they receive, they will not be afraid to tell their parents.
psle is not the end of the world...there are many more major exams in life. when they step into the secondary school, psle is history. -
Lower the expectation so that can manage better later. Just pray that my gal can get into Express can liao …

Setting goal of near 250s and above are excellent T score.
Not most kids can achieve this range. Does not mean 250s can guarantee into big local uni years down the road - Upper sec syllabus is also totally different, investing $ & time in more & more tuition to maintain or let the child learn to tackle own road blocks ...
If the child feel stressed abt hitting this number, as parents, we should take a step back n reflect - they are mini teens (11/12yo) at such young age, getting afraid by a taboo number ... can they handle bigger exams stress in future - O & A level is so much higher level , local uni exams are not easy n even more stressful - Why must a child feel so stress at such tender age now , more to come in their late teens /20s?
Whatever is outcome, parent/s go to sch with your dc later, let them feel your tender love ,support and be pillar for them , wait for them patiently & lovingly

Good Luck everyone !!

We have gone thru 2 rounds of PSLE. My first kid did average, scoring 230+, and he went to a neighbourhood school. But, this did not stop him from doing very well in his GCE O Levels and is now in JC.Setting goal of near 250s and above are excellent T score.

My second kid did better than expected, scoring 250+, and is now in Sec 2.
We all go thru an emotional coaster ride and anxiety. We will feel disappointed when our kid don't do to our expectations, and this is natural.
Whatever the outcome, just be there to support your kids.
All the best to everyone.
