hi Be a mom,

For my dd's case, the MT examiners were quite friendly but probably she was the second last student, one of them half way through her passage reading closed his eyes and seemed to be dozing off.

During the oral preparation, we went thru a few scenarios of what if the examiners are fierce- looking, looked bored, are very friendly ,etc so my dd was kind of prepared and went on as per normal.

Anyway, oral was already over. Try not let your dd dwell on what was already over & have no control over now. Encourage her to concentrate on other sections of the paper - LC, compo and main paper which comprise 150 marks and is the bulk and she can take control of now.

Many :grphug: to you and All the best to your dd in the coming PSLE! :please:

:goodpost:
That is what I told my DD too. We should encourage our kids to work hard and focus on the other section of the paper and the upcoming PSLE.

:hi5:

Btw, :congrats: to your dd for her successful DSA to RGS!

Son had Math prelim yest. Unfortunately, I couldn't postpone his Math tuition last night. Wanted him to sleep after lesson ended, but he insisted on revising for today's CL prelim.

Hubby worked till very late last night and as such couldn't distract my younger one. Felt so torn between 2 kids as I usually accompany my boy when he revises. Really have to think of something to prevent this from happening again.

I will let the younger one watch Educational DVD & let the older studies in the air con study room.

Really need to find ways to entertain my younger one…very very stressed. Problem is she is sticky to me, or I would have asked parents to look after her. Time to dig out some educational DVDs or CD rom. Thanks for your suggestion, mummy so kiasu.

I received a sms that the 2012 top school prelim papers will be ready by next week. Will any parents be buying for their kids to do? At this point of time (exactly 4 weeks to go), should we just focus on areas they are weak at or continue to do practice papers? :scratchhead:
