2022 PSLE Discussions & Strategies (born in 2010)

[zac's mum]

Would like to check with experienced PSLE parents out there. Trying to plan ahead for 2022.


Is it always the case that the main 4 days of PSLE are like this?

Thursday: English Paper 2
Friday: Math
(Weekend break)
Monday: Chinese Paper 2
Tuesday: Science

This was the schedule in 2020 and I believe it was the same in 2019. I think the school prelims will also follow this schedule so you can get some routine down ahead of time.

Sorry, just for clarity the languages Paper 1 and Paper 2 will be on the same day. Math is also Paper 1 and Paper 2, so Science is the only day they don’t need to reload and be ready to go back-to-back.

Thank u. Just hoping for a whole weekend to do the final cramming of Chinese vocab & hope more words will stick, my kid’s weakest kid component.

[zac's mum]

Gah, I just realized it is actually like this, so the weekend should actually be cramming 作文好词好句 instead of vocab (he will just have to tikam those):


Thursday: English Paper 1 and 2
Friday: Math

Monday: Chinese Paper 1 and 2

zac's mum,

Yup, and it ends in the same week as Children's Day. (These are the https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=81235&p=1878216&hilit=Written+Examination#p1878216.)

So the tentative dates should be:
--> Oral - Thur 18 and Fri 19 Aug 2022 (supposed to be the Thur and Fri right after National Day but the last time National Day fell on Tue [in 2016], Oral examinations was held the following week),

--> LC - Fri 16 Sep 2022,

--> Written Examination: Thur 29 Sep (Eng), Fri 30 Sep (Math), Mon 3 Oct (CL), Tue 4 Oct (Sci) and Wed 5 Oct (HCL)

All current P5s taking 2022 PSLE next year,

may learn from LC \"Annotation\" method, to improve your languages' Comprehension / li jie wen da / Science

I was looking thru the PSLE exam formats and noticed that Math has a scheduled break between Papers 1 and 2?


My qn is: how long is the break? Do the kids get to go to canteen and eat recess?

Or is it just a minor break for the invigilators to collect Paper 1 and then the kids go outside the classroom to retrieve their calculators & quickly come back for Paper 2? No toilet break?

The PSLE Schedule has been Paper 1 from 8:15 - 9:15 and Paper 2 from 10:30 - 12:00. I'm not sure what the schools are doing for SA2s (or P6 SA1s) but I believe many will have the level's recess break between the two papers.

It can be a bit of a distraction for the kids, especially if they start comparing answers, etc (probably more an issue P5/P6 than PSLE). Each kid is different but generally I suggest they try to eat, drink, and stick to themselves during this period.
