I agree. Even reading the thread, i can feel the emotions of the parents and can see myself in their shoes next year....Anyone of you have any high level how to start to prepare our kids for next year? Though all the enrichment classes are going on, just feel that we should start to have a plan....

I think we should set goal. Start by sitting down with our kids and discuss what he/she wants to accomplish. After setting up the goal, get kid to draw timeline, this you can do with your kid. Do make sure the goal & timeline are realistic and not something out-of-reach. Teach & ensure consistency in whatever plan you have drawn up. Example if plan to revise science for that day must do so. If you give allowance & allow it to be done next day, you will be breaking the cycle and this will cause inconsistency and kid will knows that plan can be alter as and when necessary.

There are a lot of PSLE Maths Q posted in the PSLE 2011 discussion thread and PSLE MATHS 2011 thread. You could compile them now before they get burried in the fast moving pages. You might get more Q than the ones that will be published in the MOE booklet next year. So hurry up :siam:

That’s strange…

Everyone in my class either says it was so-so or easy.
But when i went to ask others in other classes, they said,"Wow! It’s difficult!"
Personally, i felt that maybe they did not know the techiques for the questions and most of the questions needed to use some of the techiques.Mostly, we needed to get use to tough unit questions. I once complained that why unit questions were so tough, but after my mother’s teaching and me doing a lot of practices, unit questions were not that difficult after all!
Now, it was not the time to be depressed over the maths questions, but it is to work even harder. We have other papers coming up!

Just to share something sad in my school. The top scorer(Prelims&SA1) of my school who is in my class was crying today and yesterday. I was heard that he had lost many marks in both papers thus depressed. I finally realised that my maths teacher was right. She said,"Do not push too hard. Otherwise, in the end, the tire will punture."
Indeed, the person pushed too hard and resulted himself crying.

:rahrah: congrats and well done. Great attitude. And Mummy is always right yay :boogie: haha.. Hope you get into dream school.


As for the top scorer, it must have been devastating to make so many mistakes in a critical exam especially if he doesn't have CO/WL. I hope he already has something on hand As a friend, please encourage him to look forward and finish the race with his best to salvage the first two exams :nunchuk:

My DD’s junior, a top student Tao Nan, came back after the math paper and asked her mother to send her to the doctor. She went to tan tock seng at3pm, and until now, hasn’t come back.


I think this year the psle Cohort has reasons to be sick.
