The norm for PSLE Exam dates are:
Oral: Thur, Fri of Wk after National Day
LC: Fri of Term 4 Wk 1
Written Examination: Begins on Thur of Term 4 Wk 3 (2019 earlier by 1 week - Children's Day fall on Fri of Term 4 Wk 3)
PSLE Marking: Mon to Thur of Term 4 Wk 6 (2019 earlier by 1 week)

[list]

2016 -->
LC Fri 16 Sep
Written Paper Thur 29 Sep

2017 -->
LC Fri 15 Sep
Written Paper Thur 28 Sep

2018 -->
LC Fri 14 Sep
Written Paper Thur 27 Sep

2019 -->
LC Fri 20 Sep
Written Paper Thur 26 Sep

[/list]The usual practice is to have a week's gap between LC and Written Examinations. However, Term 4 in 2019 is only 9 weeks instead of the usual 10 weeks.

Since Term 4 in 2020 will be 10 weeks again, it is highly likely that they will revert to the \"1 week gap\" arrangement. This probably explains why Children's Day is pushed backwards - to ensure that it's after PSLE has completed.

Thus, the probable dates are:

Depends on what you’re looking for yr child to achieve in English tuition & whether you’re looking for 1-1 tutor or yr child will be motivated by group based learning. Also whether yr child needs help with English structure or Compo writing

Which level is yr child st now? Which part of Spore are you located?

If yr child fits well in competitive learning, here are 2 suggestions :-

1) Composition Writing - Writers @ Work

2) Academia

You can google for contact & address.

Some people are combination learners. Eg I personally know of a visual-kinesthetic & an auditory-kinesthetic learner.

But even in the combination, one preference is more dominant than the other.[/quote]

Most people are combination learners. However, there will definitely be a dominant trait / learning style. Just have to spend time “studying” and understanding the person.

Fun test: ask someone to memorize an 8-digit phone number. Observe how they do it. For younger kids, u may need to ask them to try all 3 methods and see which is most effective.


Visual people: close their eyes and visualize the numbers floating in front of them.

Auditory people: close their eyes and keep repeating the chain of numbers (saying out or singing them out or grouping them in a rhythm that flows).

Kinesthetic people: write down the numbers over and over again. Yes, like the old “punishment” method. But it really does work for kinesthetics. Either write on paper or write with right finger on left palm.

pslemum2020, if the COVID-19 situation allows for it, I will.

Meanwhile, I have updated the PSLE past year oral themes (历届口试课题 2008-2019) . It's accessible via the last pdf icon https://chenlaoshi.wixsite.com/psleprepclass/scope-of-curriculum.

Most school's Pri 6 SA1 oral is in Term 2 Week 4 (wk beginning 13 Apr) or 5 (wk beginning 20 Apr). 不要临时抱佛脚哦！

Hi, my DS is good with compo. His challenge is \"Comprehension\", Vocabulary cloze and grammar cloze. Any recommendation? He is currently with MindStretch. My experience is not good, as they cover only worksheets in exam format. NO explanation or whatsoever. I checked with his form teachers, tuition teachers etc., Everybody repeat same feedback that he should read magazines, news papers etc., And these poor kids have no time to even do their homework

So, I am wondering any tuition centers or 1-1 who can teach some smart ways to answer comprehension / voc. cloze?
