So good!! You all are able to help your kid. I am a parent who are unable to help my girl because my standard is not good enough to teach her. I am so worry that I will teach her wrongly instead. My girl has to be independent on her own. So now she is VERY free at home. :oops: :oops:

I can't help my kids proficiently too - what we learnt in the past is so different from what our kids are learning now.

But from the exam paper format, I try to see which areas to be tested in the exam and start from there. Then look out for assessment books or top school exam papers. Usually go through concepts first, then do the questions. If still don't understand the answers in the answer key, then they will have to ask their teachers in school. That's the best I can help them.

I will also constantly ask them what they learn in school to make sure they pay attention in class.

Important thing is - pay attention, do homework, revise after each lesson and consistently, practice exam questions. know where they have gone wrong, and don't be careless. Then they should be able to do well.

For PSLE it's still practice, practice, practice. As long as ur child does the assessment/exam papers diligently, it shd be no problem.


For this hol, I prefer to get my kids to do things they don't hv the time to do once Sch reopens. We swim, shop, watch movie, bake, go library etc. Once Sch starts, they will hv to go back to the mindless drilling of Sch hmwk, assessment, exam papers

I think what's more important is to learn from the mistakes made in these practices, know what went wrong with their answers and then avoid them in future practices. Then it'll make a difference.
