Still headache for us parents. Without any WA or SA1, how else will our kids be motivated to prepare for the psle?

I know some schools still have weighted assessments for P6. Like 15% for term 1 WA, 15% for term 2 WA and 70% for prelim.

I’m sure the schools will continue to administer the timed practice or exam papers for the children to do. Just that it is not recorded in the report books right?

Ya my eldest got lots of \"non weighted' timed practice papers from school. But you know how kids are like. They will never take the \"non weighted\" exams from school seriously.

They will take it seriously if they want to do well. (Parents can eyeball them, make sure corrections are done. It’s the learning progress that matters.) Progress checks are essential.. so it wouldn’t be a total shock..

My son’s school Timed Practice for the traditional CA1 and another Timed Practice for the traditional MYE.


I purposely didn’t prepare him for the exam. Didnt chase/ Push him. I agreed with my wife to do this social experiment….

We want to prove to him, if we left him with his own ways, this is what he will get. Is he satisfied with such results?

If not, you better work with us. Whatever we are doing, if not for ourselves. It is for his own good…

What if he comes home with excellent results? It happened to us… and then complacency may set in…
