At what age should you start to prepare for PSLE

yup very true.. we are all preparing for another war soon...

preparing for psle is the ultimate goal...no more holding back...by preparing earlier, child gets an idea what to expect because when school reopens for p6, teachers charge...some schools are nice, they charge only after CNY.

To the school, 'charge' means getting kids ready. But CNY is in Feb next year, so I don't think many schools will charge only after that...next year's PSLE is early too. So, CHARGE may not be a bad thing after all. :evil:

Perhaps kids will also gear up...but my son was still very laid-back until Aug really worried...furthermore cannot scream for fear of him melting down. Math tutor scolded him every week...i asked her if he was stressed after every lesson, she assured me he wasn't...still in a world of his own, unaware of urgency.

most boys are like this... just like men... my dh is one who doesnt hv any sense of urgency too... same for ds1... unique characteristic of men...

Don't know how true...but it should not be very far off from this year...before children's day.

Verykiasumummy,

Thought of 6 schools...worked out a list starting from 220 to 250 :xedfingers:

[verykiasumummy]

choose more janet… i chose like 12 or 15 last yr…


i compile them into an excel chart, with the pros and cons, as well as road directions to get there… once the results were out, i narrow down to 10 schs and choose from there…

I think we have chosen 10 schools...near hubby's office & home.
Not too far since there will be project work (meet up with classmates) and longer hours in school.
Also took out schools which offer Higher CL since son is not strong in Chinese.
