Post PSLE blues

[mummyjoyce]

DD finished her PSLE yesterday but told her not to make so much noise as older DD still have exam until Wed. She read a book, played ITiuch quietly and then tell me \"SO BORING\".

:stupid:

In my view, the kids may enjoy for 3-4 days to release their pent-up tension and stress. But beneath all the enjoyment, there are 3 questions in the minds of most kids:


(1) The papers were easier this year. Most of my classmates say they have done well. Does it mean my T-score will fall?

(2) Will the CoP of various schools go up or go down this year when compared to last year?

(3) In spite of all my year-long efforts, what if I end up with an unexpectedly low T-score and hence in a secondary school of "Not-my-choice"?

If you quitely probe your DD or DS, they will surely share their above worries. As parents, let us encourage them not to worry too much since there is little that can be done about these ‘unknowns’.

Yes totally agreed. I hear kids telling one another that PSLE this year is quite easy…


In this case, if they make any careless mistake, the consequences will be quite terrible cos everyone else will do very well.

But then again, it’s right to say that there’s nothing much that anyone can do right now…

Yes. Why can’t they do it the science mcq way - .5 of the questions on physical science and .5 on the other type? Now I feel bored. No good tv shows, only stuff on my computer is a bunch of simulators and google chrome…

DS seems lost and don't know what to do. He said that he's so used to doing lots of work, and now he has nothing to do.. Now he's worried about what to bring to school tomorrow.. haiz...

DS spent his afternoon this way: help his sister (P4) to prepare her Chinese and play DS (away from it for so long!). He is tired but still very excited. Went to sleep only after 11h pm. I suggest him to practice more piano during the following days.

Finally it's OVER! :celebrate:

(but not true, over the weekend, teachers email some more tips!)

This year exam is overall very difficult as cannot afford to have any careless mistakes if not t-score will be damn low. Can start reading o-level stuff so that the kid mind won’t become too afraid of low t-score or become too bored or too aimless.
