2011 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

mine also said that the papers are tough so far...nevertheless I always tell my kids...that is how they get to learn more things.. :roll:

Schools like to have difficult prelim papers to wake the kids up in case PSLE is tough. There was one school a couple of years back which set such a difficult Math prelim paper, many of the kids came out of the exam crying their eyes out. But when it came to PSLE, the kids were better able to handle the tough Math paper and calmly completed the paper, a vast contrast to their reaction during prelims. So it’s not a bad thing to have a tough prelim.

vlim, your son already has CO from RI right? He shouldn't be stressing himself out. Force him to take a break. Recharge his batteries.

vlim, I guess your DS is a \"sensitive' child.

Mine is too, anxious type too. Just like your DS even with CO to her dream school she was feeling the heat. And her performance drops a lot when she is anxious - so we took a complete break during Sep hols - away from home and books and anything remotely connected to PSLE. :imcool:

Its a different thing that I was over stressed with the vacation.
:frustrated: I was paranoid that she would hurt her hand - when she took the Luge rides at Sentosa. I put my foot down when she wanted to take the MegaZip. I had to avoid crowded areas so that she would not fall sick through infection. Food had to be scrutinised. At least it was a vacation for the rest of the family. :faint:

I really believe this helped her a lot. It did really recharge her. So my advise to you would be take a good break. But of course you would know what is best for your DS

Your ds is one of rare few. What I always hear from the teachers are that the GEP pupils tend to relax and not working as hard once they receive a CO from their preferred school.

Mine slacking like crazy leh. But also cannot be *pushed*. This boy....haiz. Everyday after exam, he just goes to the computer to check the results of wrestling matches!!! Then he goes and watches Chinese drama serials, then has dinner, then wrestles with his little brother. Says he's \"tired\". Then fight with brother. Aiyoh... And he has no CO from any school (*hehe*).

I just have to pray that his unearthed potential will suddenly show during PSLE. *sigh*... or just go normal stream lah. haiayaiyai.
