For those parents with kids taking PSLE this year, I suggest trying to ignore chatter on whether the papers were hard or easy. For example, every year there is talk about this paper or that paper vs. the prior year's paper.

One man's meat is another man's poison.

The PSLE is just one aspect to parents. It is ok to compare and it is ok not to compare. You have your style and it is unique.


For a child not doing well now doesn’t mean that the child will not do well later. Don’t bother with words you do not want to see or hear. Just focus on helping your own child to pass for those barely scrapping through.

If your child is very weak, go through 1 question at a time to help. Please continue to encourage your tiger babies.

Unless you are from SEAB, you will never know the questions.

Sure, to each his own...

In the end, there's just a lot of negative energy wasted on things that can't be changed. IMHO, much better to redirect elsewhere. I'll probably be absent 29 Sept - 5 Oct. Some may applaud that :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Yes, I noticed the resemblance too.

There was some discussion by DS’ school teacher that 2021 qn 1 was badly set: “Are u like the girl in the picture? Why or why not?”

Hilarious responses from the boys: I am not a girl, of course I am not like her![/quote]

My DS predicted the qn, “Are you like this boy in the picture?” similar to 2021 qn.
But end up he said qn was abit different.. “Do you think the boy should be playing iPad?”

A positive person will never get affected by negativities if one chooses not to. 😅 There is no need to escape from reality as this is Earth, a place for us. SG_KP1 do you have any useful tips to share for upcoming prelim revision ?


One man’s meat is another man’s poison. I really like this proverb. It is a good proverb and should be used in the composition if possible. Thanks for sharing the proverb. Kudos to floppy. 👍🏻

It depends on the child. At this point, not much will change, and healthy food/well rested are probably just as good as anything else.

The exam format/sitting for Prelims may be longer than what most kids are accustomed to. They need to learn how to manage their energy vs a one and done exam. That's probably as much of a lesson as the content tested, although again the strategy for each kid is different.

A child who is 无所谓 will not be affected nonetheless.

Floppy has been consistently sharing quite a lot of info already and more. Give the man a Tiger!

On preparation, my challenge is trying to balance between working on the weaker areas and yet not neglecting the stronger or OK ones.

Same here! It is like a see-saw: after P5 SA2 worked on the weaker components and neglected the stronger ones. P6 SA1 marks swung the other way. Ended up total score still the same :slapshead:

I have run out of time for prelim prep. Have chosen to just continue strengthening the easy to medium sections, and forget about the tougher ones. This is for a medium ability child.

I suppose the higher ability kids are already very polished in most aspects and can just keep the engine running by alternate between devouring prelim papers & relaxation time.

Everyone may have their own strategy to cope with their exam but try not to group kids into different levels of ability or at least don't let them think others are having higher ability than themselves. When I was small, my parents always claimed I was a poor ability and stupid girl and I just let myself failed all exam because I was labelled as stupid.

Actually, no one claimed I am stupid except my parents.
