This morning my mind was like..cant wait to quickly get the exam over and have the school holiday.

Is your child’s exams before or after Mother’s Day? Some fellow mums said previous years couldn’t enjoy their Mother’s Day cos need to nag exam prep.

This year, DS exams happen to finish before the Mother’s Day weekend. Dunno what he has planned for me tho!

Mine is till after mom's day. I didn't tell them the mother's day. Celebrations seem to have low priority to me now. I dont mind to have 2 papers a day get it done and over with even not much prep.

Jia you! Mummies’ life not easy. I think the best present is their simple appreciation of what we do.

Agree. Exam like Paper 1 English composition & Chinese zuo wen, how to prepare ? because don't even know what compo topic coming out, nor Paper 2 Comprehension passage ... anything can come out.

Another subject hard to prepare is English Literature unseen poetry : how to prepare poetry test ?

Do you all like poetry ?

Now I just help the younger one with her Math & Sci. Always wanted to try do with elder one with her Math but she always has excuses when I m ready.

Does the secondary school provide the students with some practice papers in school?

In primary school, we can refer to past year papers (I printed some P5 SA1 exam papers, they have Situational Writing + Continuous Writing qns buried inside there). And also can use the 3-year series of PSLE exam papers, zuowen assessment books etc.

Secondary school literature no assessment books for poetry I guess? I hated Lit in school becos the teacher was so unclear, answers also dunno how to phrase them. Have to pray for a good teacher willing to let students consult them.

Hi!! Exams 👍 - they serve as useful checkpoints + reality checks; holidays 👍 - more time to spend on hobbies!!

For unforseen prose/ literary analysis, teachers may provide us a sample (text, question & model answer, marking criteria) beforehand, plus the focus (for instance, know your literary devices, themes). There are extensive practices during lessons so well-prepared
