Just a quick question: is there a way to purchase passed 10 years PSLE paper and answers? Popular only sell last 3 years paper.

There is no PSLE 10 years series. Actual PSLE papers are available for the last 3 years, so the most current one is 2017 to 2019. You may be able to get older booklets (eg PSLE 2016 to 2018, PSLE 2015 to 2017, ...) from those with elder siblings.

10 years series is available for O Levels.

I am not sure if this has been asked before.

For kids who didn't take hcl in pri sch, can they take up hcl in sec sch if they get good results for psle overall and OK for Chinese?

It is a dilemma. Child scored 80 to 85 for Chinese in p4. In p1 to p3, she scored above 90. But she doesn't read Chinese books at all. We used to read to kids sometimes but now it is getting harder as kids are more inclined to the books they like. Child read English story books ferociously. Thinking if I shld sign her up w Chinese class to help her maintain her score as we can tell she is slipping, or invest in her area of interest instead, which means omitting a few good sec schs in our area as her choice of schs, which happens to be sap schools. Eg nan hua and RV.
She got 18 out of 40 for her Chinese compo in this year p5 term 1. She used to score 16 to 19 out of 20 in Chinese compo.

Parents whose kid has decided to forego hcl, can share your views? Asked child if she wants Chinese class, she is not keen. Before March, she has quite a few extra stuff from sch so cannot find time anyway. But she is quite free now, sigh.
Or time is better spent in things she is keen at such as writing class or continue to let her read?

Got her to sit in for the trial masterclass for English writing for psle yesterday. Asked her if she wants to join for the regular class, she is not keen.

HCL in sec is very tough and it is not easy esp if kids need to manage closed to 10 subjects.
Unless she is really very interested in Chinese else gonna to struggle.

And you should check what the school uses as many (most?) will do the past papers in prep for Prelims and the actual PSLE so you are gaining anything by doing them first. It may be better to buy the \"simulated\" papers for practice at home.

Hi P5 parents,


During this circuit breaker period, there are plenty of tuition centres holding online webinars for parents & kids about PSLE prep, useful exam tips for each of the 4 subjects, analysis of commonly-asked questions, trends over the past few years etc.

The vast majority of them are free. Some charge a nominal fee. I have benefitted a lot from attending these webinars. Just letting you guys know in case you have been missing out. If you are following various tuition centres on Facebook or subscribed to their email lists, you would have seen the events listed.

A kind P6 mum sent me a link. Otherwise I wouldn’t have opened my eyes to such beneficial “learn from home” sessions either. Now I’m hooked and understand what the PSLE markers look out for. I can guide my kid much better with this knowledge.
