hi flowermonaster,

I agree with u tat we hv no control over the psle exam so it is quite pointless to speculate on the level of difficulty wrt the psle exam.

Our kids just need to do their best!

Yes, our kids really just need to do their best next year :salute:
1st DS took his PSLE in 2009, 2nd DS will be taking his next year. I can feel the stress already

My dd2 took the PSLE in 2009 too. Next year will be dd3, she will be having SA2 next week and will take a good break right after before we start our preparation for PSLE next year.

Just in the process of typing out some of the advice and decorating my DS's study room with them tomorrow morning!


Hope it'll be a constant reminder for him.

Hee hee.....can share share what you have typed out for your DS? Have reserved the book, still waiting for it.....so meanwhile, maybe can show him those advice so that when the book come, he'll recognise

Hahaha......
PSLE stands for \"Please Start Learning Early\"
PSLE stands for \"Procrastinate Sure Liao Examination\"
Even my P1 DS is also telling his brother this now!

In Chinese - \"Don't always wait until bedtime to realise that you've done only a little work, and don't always wait until after exams to realise that you haven't studied what you should.\" Many others.......

It's quite a fun book to read. Get yours soon! :celebrate:

There are many other advices

Was recommended earlier by someone on this thread. It's \"PSLE Survival Guide for the Family\". You can pick it up from Popular and it's $14.90 if I'm not wrong.

You can borrow from the library too.

The tendency for many is to load children with tons of practice papers and assessments. It might turn some pupils off from studying as it becomes a routine without clarity of purpose. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying don’t practice, but rather be focused about it. Take time with each paper, clarify why did he/she get a question wrong, also why did he/she get it right! Its always important to understand why something is right or wrong, it also gives pupil great confidence.


For those really weak in certain subjects, get help early. Especially for languages! Its amazing how many people come looking for classes / lessons in the last one or two months before the paper and say they want to do well for their language papers! Language skills are very wide and need time to develop.

Hope that helps.
