Advise for 2011 PSLE parents
-
U r welcome verykiasu2010.
I am \"making notes\" at the same time trying to help. Hope to hear more tips from parents.
-
maybe just 1 more point:
don’t overwork the child or some kids push themselves so hard that they lose steam after the sch prelims. This was seen in my friend’s very hardworking and self-motivated child. That’s why for my dd, consistent work with a good balance of time to relax. -
good tips…but …i believe the best advice i can give…is to spend more time with them…do not always ask them to revise their work…set a home timetable for them…pls do bring them out on weekends…they need to de-stress also…the more they spend time with you…i’m sure u have no problems in asking them doing revision…

1. Consistent daily work
2. Positive thinking i.e. If u think u can, u can!
3. Make study time-table around school, home n cca commitments
4. Do past year test papers for a firm foundation
5. Make your own notes or use mindmaps
6. Read widely to get good general knowledge e.g watch informative tv programs, daily news on tv n newspapers n good selection of fiction n non-fiction books
7. Revise p3 science as early as possible then go on to p4,p5 etc
8. Start preparation at beginning of p5
9. Make sure the psle warrior has enough sleep - this is to ensure max. Retention n recall.
hmm...gd general tips.. but how to prepare for individual subjects?
can i share a few tips?
I'm more specialise in EL ... here's what i share with my pupils yearly
here are the basic components for psle
paper 1 - situational writing and composition ( picture and open ended )
paper 2 - main paper
paper 3 - listening comprehension
paper 4 - oral
paper 1. - situational writing
possibilities of format
1. email
2. letter
3. post card
normally 5-6 points...get the pts correct ..and the rest is just how to structure the points...
composition-
picture - sorry but i normally train my pupils to tackle open ended..they are much pretty safe..picture to be used for EMERGENCY use only..
open ended - best of all to me..so many ways you can end the compo..some pupils can write around 400 words easily...to score better..u need to brush up your vocabulary ...use bombastic words..use words that makes teacher use a dictionary to find the meaning ..:)
paper 2- main paper...
1. synthesis is one of the main problems
2. vocab and grammar usage..
3. comprehension - this needs practice..and u need to understand the passage fully before attempting the qns...pls read the comprehension twice at least
paper 3 - LC
- nothing on this...just listen and don't fall asleep while the cd is being played
paper 4 - oral
1. reading - this should not be a problem
2. picture discussion - avoid using \" the picture on the right shows\" ...
basic start ups example... this picture depicts at a shopping centre... there is a man with a little girl walking beside a shop.. I think the man is the father of the girl as he is holding her hands ( own opinion is VERY important ) ...oh yeah...all in PRESENT TENSE please...
3. conversation - just talk your hearts out..the eamxiner won't eat u up..in fact they just want to talk...
just my 2 cents of sharing .... -
I hope all these tips still applies in 2014....countdown...
