2022 still the same. For PSLE no make-up (except for Oral).

Now u know why I’ve been feeling so super stressed just trying to keep my kid Covid-free.

Maybe if his prelim grades were good (comparative to school peers) I wouldn’t care so much. But prelim not good so actual must show up for better chance.

For my colleagues, the father will start to stay at his relatives house 10 days before the exam and the mother with the kid are staying at home, ordering online delivery from SS supermarket with all cooking done by the mother in order to decrease the chance of infection.

My DH came back from Europe last week, said nobody is wearing masks at all over there (not on plane either). He isolated himself in spare room until confirmed safe. I could have banished him to my old house (havent handover keys till after exam) but I need him here for moral support & to help buy breakfast etc.

Same here. He's quite diligent with mask-wearing so fortunately, he's safe. Hope your son is in good shape too and ready to take on the exams 💪💪💪

This is the weird part. At least two years ago, everyone still very careful and trying to avoid in the months up to PSLE.

Hope most kids can sit for all of the written papers. So much prep work and effort over the last few months would be a bummer to be sitting at home on exam day.

I believe all of us here are giving you and Zac moral support. I could have help you to buy breakfast any time if I am not working full time. We are always standby you.

Thanks for the sharing, zm & phtthp. Good that my kid managed to sit for all the prelim papers in this case.

Reason I became a little more concerned was that yesterday's cases shot up to > 4K.
