All About Preparing For PSLE

[skss]

On top of these, I feel that do not stress your kids too early... It's a bell curve too. I let my DS take CA1 without muching stressing on him (as it is not added to overall marks). When his marks come down (sure to come down as he's v playful in Feb/Mar period), then i pushed him a bit in SA1. From June onwards, I pushed him real hard. If you push too early, their energy level is very high afterwards, it will drop(cos they get sick and tired of always studying... of course during the intensive grilling :pokeeye: , I treat him to his favourite foods and fruits). So, try to catch the high energy level for prelim.

Thank you all kind moms and dads for your contributions. Not sure if I’m the only mom that got this - when you talk to them, it’s like their ear side wind (er bian feng). I asked him to reflect on his attitude, which areas he sees he can avoid and improve, etc. His tears swelled and nodded his head (heart pained). Then after a while, back to square peg. So, this holiday he will be really grounded - no game console, no facebook, no USS, he will be with MIL while we go for short trip etc.


One hand I want him to think hard and learn to be independent, on the other hand, I felt it was too much to ask from a 11yr boy. Of cos I dun tell him that.

If you compare our parents’ generation and us, no wonder they can have 4 or more. My parents only concerned about blue and red markings, so innocent, right.

I hope I have the spirit and strength to see my boy and girl in PSLE 2012 and 2013.

Kan Bei ! (cheers)

Unless your child is so lazy and no determination, does not even care PSLE, you will need to worry. I started to be lazy but as PSLE is coming, I personally bought synthesis book and comprehension close book and in the end complete all the assignments. :moneyflies:

Good luck to all 2000' batch of Singaporeans @PSLE next year~

I planned a schedule for Nov/Dec. Not following it very faithfully...using a little reverse psychology on him now...Let him play all day to see if he gets guilty when I keep quiet.

Was about to ask you when is the right time to push...not too early in case burnt out (real battle is in Oct). So June is a good time to do so ? I have absolutely no idea how to plan. :imdrowning: :?:

PSLE Oral and listening compre starts in Aug. Prelim in end Aug. 2011 PSLE starts end Sep. FYI, from Aug to Sep, they practically stay in school until 5.30pm or has loads of homework (as in 3 papers per day). So you hardly have time to sit down with him to do your papers. I think grilling starts immediately after SA1 results out.

it depends on your kid's character though. If they are already very good, then let them keep as is.

Hi skss,

I guess the school will start pushing from term 3.
Maths tutor has already informed me she will be very strict from next year…gave her my blessings. Bcos my boy is still not aware of the seriousness of P6. Perhaps I will cut down when school reopens. In the meantime, I want him to get something done every morn for 1 hour.

Thanks for your advice.

As my DD scored badly in her MT, I am already starting revision for Chinese yesterday. Maybe just 1 hr of revision per day and the rest, I just let her play. I think if we start to revise their "worst "subject next year, it will be more pressure for them.
