All About Preparing For PSLE

[Tinkerbelle]

Mayl:

I ever called up MOE and asked whether isn't all right to use pencil instead of pen in PSLE (especially for Math). The gentleman who picked up my call said is acceptable but provided our kid write clearly which is readable to the marker. As my boy 3 years ago use pencil throughout his prelim paper in school and that worried me.

Thanks for sharing mayl

Hi All!

May I know what are the things can bring to PSLE?
calculator,liquid eraser can bring to PSLE?
From what level kids can use pen?
Thanks in advance.

Hi smartmummy,
You can bring the usual stationery into the examination venue but they must in a clear zip-lock bag; not in your usual opaque pencil case.

Can also bring calculator (for maths) and correction tape but not liquid paper.

For CL compo exam, can bring an approved dictionary or e-dictionary.

Definitely NO hand phones allowed! Not even in your bag.

Dunno about other schs, but DD's sch start using pens in P3 after teacher checked her handwriting and gave the green light to use pen.

:thankyou:

Hi,
May I know whether the calculator used needs to be certified ?

Thanks and regards,

Hi andante,
Last year, DD's sch inspected all the calculators & certified them but we haven't been informed of anything this year yet.

What is the meaning of 'certified'? What exactly do they do? I'm a first time PSLE parent, so blur blur. :oops:
BTW, I had bought a back up calc, just in case (maybe over kiasu :siao: ), so in that case should I get both certified?

Hi, tisha, my ds' school inspected the calculator and put a little round colored sticker at the back with a school stamp on it. You should get both calculators certified if you want to bring them in. But my ds' school has already given out all stickers and so he is just going to bring another new uncertified one in. Will ask him to try to get it certified next week.

Will send both the calcs to school from now on. Not sure when this certification will be done in DS's school.
