2011 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

[sall]

My daughter just received her PSLE score, 270. Let me share how she prepared for the exam- consistent work, but please don’t stress them so much until they are burnt out before the exam. My girl started intensive studying 2 mths before PSLE. The kids need to rest, enough sleep is crucial to gd performance.

[Leanne]

Thank you sall.Its ten months to exam.

Congrats your girl for doing so well for the psle.

I believe in consistent race, and intensive study like what u said should be two months before exam, or will really burnt out.

Thanks for sharing.

cheers

We won't have any chance until 2011, I think... Got to stay or very hard.

[Leanne]

Sometime if a kid is already good and knows the impt to do well, they can also do very well within very short space of time.


I believe if a kid wants to do it, they can.If they dont want, no matter how much the parents do, it will not work.

cheers

This comes from a super duper very very kiasu parent..DS2 taking psle next year and the countdown starts today on the eve of PSLE 2010

no no, to be super duper very2 kiasu, your count down ought to have started 12 months ago....that is what the principal said, the PSLE preparation starts in Pri 5, not Pri 6......better late than never .... lol


errr, sorry to spoil your evening

My boy just finished his 2010 PSLE. My girl is in P4 this year and P5 next year. From our experience, PSLE preparation starts in P5, though subjects in P3 and $ are covered.

it is OK to be kiasu. It is a stressfull world out there and the poor kids need all our help.

Yes, I would think so next year math paper is a hard one.So, must really train ds to think out of the box.Merely practising and doing the routine questions probably will survive the routine questions but not out of the box kind of prob sums.


Having said that, I still think our children should have a deserving holidays, and this period should only be a warm up period for them, race begins next year.

cheers,

My boy had his PSLE in 2010, and all the papers were relatively easy.

As a result, PSLE 2010 top score dropped and the EESIS COP dropped. 2011 Sec School admission is expected to drop.

All these are due to the easy papers for 2010 PSLE.

having hard papers is not necessary is bad thing. if your child is very bright, it is only through hard papers that he can show his true potential.

[Leanne]

Thanks.


Unfortunately, the hard paper is always MATH and not the language paper.

[verykiasu2010]

It does not matter whether the papers are easy or tough from year to year


The children’s ranking is among their peers in the same year. There is no comparison with different years.

Last year’s 270 is not the same as this year’s 270, as an example.


Just ensure consistent work from P4 onward, start gearing up for PSLE from P5 onward (start going through P3 & P4 stuff during P5…) and by the time P6 arrives, should be ready to do complete paper by mid year…pace it out, and it won’t stress out the kids

I have a girl who will be in primary six next year.I am so glad to find this thread.Hope to learn from parents here who are guiding the child for the pri six journey.


Thank you.
