2011 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

[porcupine12trade]

this is making me nervous! I dont know why i am reading this thread :idea: Coz my dd1 is taking PSLE only in 2015 (she is P2 nx yr :lol: )

But what I have read certainly give me the shivers. I have to go thru PSLE 3x 2015,2017,2021 (wah...seem soooooo far away)

I dont know what to do for them in anticipation of PSLE. Many of my peers have plenty of tuition for their kids since K1/2. I do not send mine to tuition, but what I am doing now is set aside time (min 2hrs) everyday (including school holiday) to do revision and make sure they know the concepts (for my dd1 and dd2). I am sahm, so i \"tuition\" them myself, i hope I am on the right track, i do wonder if i'm good enough to \"tuition\" them myself.

It's too early for u to read this thread. By the time your children take PSLE, there may be some changes, who knows? Don't stress yourself unnecessarily. I think u are doing enough for them at their age.

hi sall

you are right, I shouldnt be reading this thread...I was surfing PSLE thread as I wanted to look for fairfield 2010 PSLE score, cant seem to find it anywhere

And yes, I must not stress myself unnecessarily, otherwise its 4-10yrs of stress haa, crazy!

btw saw that your gal scored very well for her PSLE, congrats!

Thanks, all the best to your kids in their studies.

My son too will be doing his PSLE 2011. Just finishred reading this whole thread.

Grt tips from yongjianrong and mrswongtution. Thanks for sharing.
But mrswong's 'push' seems rather intense. What with perfect timetable upto page numbers and all that. Do all parents do that? Or is it because she is a tutor herself that she's well equipped to draw such detailed timetable. I'm at a loss here. But will try the more deciplined approach after reading all these posts. I hope to come up with some good time table and hope to stick to it. :clubmyself:

I once heard someone said:

If you start preparing for PSLE in P5 & P6 .. you will be doing extreme catch-up
If you start preparing for PSLE in P3 & P4 .. you will be doing catch-up
If you start preparing for PSLE in P1 & P2 .. you will build good foundation for PSLE
If you start preparing for PSLE in K1 & K2 .. are Singaproean really that Kiasu? :? :? :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
