Get very stress during my children exam period. Today read about a P5, 11 yrs old boy jumped down from his flat after the oral exam. I am so worried for my P3 son. He seems to be something wrong somewhere but I don’t know what’s wrong. He is in P3, he scored 78 for science and 84 for maths in his mock exam and his teacher emailed to me and said that he don’t seems to be doing well in his exam and he is not motivated to work hard. When I checked with him, he know the ans but he just don’t feel like doing his best and some ans are blank. He is in the top class in school so they are being push very hard to score band 1 or 2. I am so worried that he was being stress and do not know he can cope with it. I rather have a stupid child than loss my child.

Mayb u should tell yr son that you are pleased with his performance and not to give himself undue pressure. He should view education as a means of increasing his knowledge and not a test of his ability.
Tests/exams are impt and is a source to assess how well he had grasp the subjects but marks is certainly not the main thing which you are going to guage him. -
Yes, I get stressed up during my children’s exam periods. I teach them myself and I monitor their work closely.
I will get the children to do past year papers so that I can brush up on their weak areas.
Today is the last day of my son’s exams and I can finally relax a bit. -

Even requested the teacher, in my dream he was that same teacher iwhen i was taking my PSLE, wow that was over 2 decades liao, i told him PLEASE, MR XX, MAY I HAVE MY PAPER BACK TO CHECK, I DUN CHEAT, I PROMISE…And the next moment, i saw ds paper! Oh no his MCQ questions were in a MESS!!! In my dream, i was telling myself "Siao liao…Siao liao…" And that was only a dream duiring the preparation period…

Today is Day 1 for P3 dd's Paper 1's.
I usually don't get stressed over exams, maybe that's why my dd's such a coolcat. However, after joining this forum, some stress is starting to creep in. I think I am quite unlike most parents here. I don't look through my dd's school work. I rely on her to tell me on how she's coping. Once in a while, I'll get her to do some Sci revision on the assessment book as her FT is already doing Fabian Ng Math and Teacher@Work Synthesis in the class. Exam preparation means doing the past year papers of 3 top schools, excluding English. :oops: I'm ok as long as she averages in the 90s for Math, Sci and Eng and manages to stay in Band 1 for Chinese. Never aimed for high 90s - mebbe we should do so as I now learn from this forum that we should aim stretch our child to their full potential. -
