I am feeling panic as day by day just passed and yet I can’t find time to do my vebal revision with my DS ever since school re-opened… school work cum tuition work looks like overload him…
This year both my DS will be having major MOE exam - "O level" and "PSLE"… wrong planning last time I supposed. I am lost with mixture feelings… -

Been Thru this last year myself with a Kid each in PSLE and O Lev.
ALL 3 of us Survived OK
For the Sec Sch Kid, I'm Sure he is Studying Independantly. And Will Not Like Mummy's interference. At least Mine is like tt.
For the Pri Sch Kid, Just Monitor the Progress to See if U Need to Add \"Oil\" or Not. Agreed tt Sch is Piling on More Work esp in 1st Semesters, coz Wanna Target to Complete ALL syllabus -ma!
Lots of Past Year Practice Papers Will be Piled on in Term 3. If your boy need more Oral (since U mentioned Verbal) Revision, perhaps can do so informally over a Slot of an hour or so over the Weekend? Can Make it a Fun, Unstressed Kinda Conversational Topics, Less Like a Lesson.
U Can Even Watch TV and Pick up something from there to start with ....

P6 is indeed a heavy year - school work, supp, remedial, tuition, CCA,outside activities etc. Do let your DS have some time to breathe and revise. No point chiong without revising and reflecting on mistakes. Take a look at his schedule and see if anything to cut. Otherwise, make request for less tuition homework. All the best :xedfingers:I am feeling panic as day by day just passed and yet I can't find time to do my vebal revision with my DS ever since school re-opened.. school work cum tuition work looks like overload him..

On another note, I heard some kids have double tuition for almost all subjects :yikes: Poor kid - can tahan or not
I will not judge if this is right or wrong. But as parents, do remember our kid is afterall our legacy and Pride, not measured by his performance in exams. Keep his sanity at check. Even if he managed to squeeze into that dream secondary school, he must be able to survive very well there. So go with his ability and strike a balance

P6 is madness...it's just 2 months into the year and I find myself wondering how to last till Oct. My tutors do hold back giving too much homework, other than Math tutor bcos son needs more practice. For Chinese, it's a bit crazier now bcos there is compo for CA1...otherwise it will purely be focused on Paper 2 alone.

This CA1, I presume the school will not set friendly papers. I am not aiming high, but the attitude and effort must be there. -
anyone of you stop sending your kids to enrichment classes(like music/sports) to prepare for PSLE?

No time for that since last year...however, I bring them swimming once a week to have fun and LET GO. -
Hi Everyone,
I’m new to this forum. I have been viewing it after introduced by my friend. I got quite a few tips from it, but still feel stress when seeing my girl results keep dropping…
Her CA is next week and still have no time for revision due to lots of homeworks, suppl class, tuition.
DD was not worried at all as school teachers told them do not bother about CA, but then why bother to have CA which make me very puzzle -

Yes, BIG PICTURE more important than anything...the CA thing is not that important esp since schools are going to set SUPER tough papers to wake kids and parents. Your daughter's teachers are very nice to set students for BIGGER target. -
my dd doesn't have time to revise weekly CN & EN spelling and no need to say the revision for coming CA1.
