Hi all,

What my DS did for his PSLE:-

1) Go through and understand school resources well (eg purpose, number the points referencing the questions, formal/ informal, …)

2) Go through teachers’ comments and markings (why certain marks were deducted)

You can use the following articles to supplement the school resources:

Hi all,


There are a lot of enrichment centers offering last lap revision for PSLE such as Mind Stretcher etc. Anyone been through? Is it useful for the P6 kids?

Ds didn’t do so well for his Science prelims. Paper 1 was ok but pulled down by Paper 2.


Is there some ways to answer Paper 2 questions. Yes I know keywords must be there. But there are answers that he gave even with keywords, he didn’t get the marks as well. How can I help him?

His Science tutor just keep asking him to do past year papers, i seriously feel that this should not be the way. Spoken to the Science tutor yesterday, he keep saying to use point form to answer questions and use connectors to join the answers. I am very doubtful by his way of coaching.

IMHO. Last lap is useful if your child is already quite proficient in that subject and you only want a general revision. Besides the costs, it’s also time consuming. We are close to PSLE, and that one week hol is precious for revision without lots of homework from school. If your child attends last lap, he might not have a lot of time left to focus on the areas that he is weak in.

But if the topics or sections that are covered in last lap suits your child’s area of weakness or you need help to supervise an unmotivated child, then it might be useful.
