All About Preparing For PSLE

[Lynn2010]

i agree to avoid crowded places and unnecessary activities like swimming. Swimming because, just in case they catch a cold or some inconsiderate people cough or sneeze into water etc.


During exam periods, i keep them at home most of the time. Of course jogging, walking are fine. Dont go out in the middle of hot day!! One thing i find it very useful is… if i hear many of the classmates are falling sick, and you know your kids have a high chance of mingling with them in school. I ask them to take propolis which is very good for boosting immunity. Just google "propolis" if you dont know what it is. It is also good if your child is falling or sick too.

Hope this helps.

Schools are so ridiculous to pile up the kids with so much exam papers.


I’m glad to see some parents ask the kid to do selectively. Dont burn your kids out, another 2 mth to go. just be consistent and steady…

Good luck!

Hi Peony, do you know if Korean Ginseng has the same effect? I bought quite a few bottles of them during a Korean trip

Hi, am no expert, but I think Korean Ginseng is heaty.

Yes Korean Ginseng is mostly Heaty so better don't try during such important time. Can't afford to fall sick.[/quote]Thanks Flowermonaster

Yup...piling them excessively is mentally unhealthy. Parents have to step in at this point.

I go through all my son's homework daily and check whether they are marked...esp if they are due next day in many cases. Must work smart.

How is your kid’s Prelim oral comparing with the SA1?

Doing the papers is 1 thing, whether the teacher has time to go through all is another thing… dd has been complaining about her teacher has not gone through a lot of papers the class submitted!

My brother is not studying at all and he’s sitting PSLE this year. It is apparent that he doesn’t care about his future and thinks that he will still be able to get a good job even if he goes to a "crappy" secondary school. My parents have tried all ways and means of getting him to study for PSLE (e.g. reward him for studying, punish him for not studying, giving him scenarios concerning his ruined future etc.), but he’s still not studying. Is there any way to make him study?

If teachers pile students with paper after paper, I can't sit back and do nothing. So, I have to monitor the hw given and whether they are marked. Even if marked, marked by who? Are answers correct? I took out all my son's English worksheets to compile all the answers for vocab cloze (synonyms) and editing (spelling). Some of the synthesis questions throw me off the chair too.

This month is PSLE oral & next month is PSLE written papers. Time is running out & he is unable to do much. Parents need to motivate & coach their kids. Not just giving reward & use punishment. He must be willing to do his part before others could help him with his weak subject or topic.

To add on to these, make sure yr kids dont eat out juz before and during the exam period,
as to avoid or prevent any unhygienic food which could cause stomach flu, diarrhorea or food poisoning, etc.

And AVOID deep fried food, junk food and processed food as it will affect the performance of the brain activity.
