Surely stress is building up…my dd just completed her mock prelim exam yesterday. Some of her classmates cried after the Maths mock paper. Haiz! We will have to face the results of mock papers early next week. Now trying to prepare for PSLE Oral.
Jia you mummies and PSLE kids! -

alng, that happened a few years ago too. Many of the girls were crying after the prelim Math paper, including those in the top class. The good news is, when these girls sat for the killer PSLE Math paper later, they were all very calm. I suppose killer papers were no longer a shock to their system anymore.Surely stress is building up...my dd just completed her mock prelim exam yesterday.

jtoh, you mean in 2009? I know difficult papers will get the students ready for challenging papers. I am hoping for not too easy papers this year.

Hi anyone's DC has finished prelim oral and can share what topics are tested for picture discussion or conversation?
I have shared earlier when my dd finished her prelim oral before mid July. For English, the topic was recycling for both picture and conversation. That caught some students by surprise. Sorry I do not know the second English topic. For Chinese, the topics for picture were carpark and supermarket.
May I ask is it common for oral marks to be full marks or close to full marks (like deduct 1-2 marks only)? Thanks! -
My DS is only having his prelim oral starting this week… The school is concentrating on composition recently, doing average 1 - 2 compositions per week. The form teacher, an Indian teacher has been writting samples compositions and sharing them with the children. He keeps reminding them to use pharses. Even last Sat when they were back for extra lessons, the teacher was going through pharses and telling them high marks will be given if more pharses are used.

For CL, my son's conversation topic was on community work...something like 你有做过益公吗？As for EL, pic was on MRT and conversation was the advantages of traveling on MRT. -

Can answer never done before right? Then go about saying why didn't and why think it will be good to do community work. The teacher will not penalise if never do community work but want to assess how kids carry on the conversation within the topic. Am I correct?
