My son will be taking PSLE in 2013. How many past year papers from top schools do you think is necessary to be completed on weekly basis in term 1 and term 2 to prepare him for PSLE? I think the school will give him lots to practice on term 3 so i will leave term 3 to him FT.


Thank you.

My son's school is a neighbourhood school. The number of students scoring above 250 is a few. Your primary school maybe a top school. Not all schools are the same. If my son's school cannot teach the same way as top school, I have to try my best to plug the gap.

Your intelligence may not also be average. I think I read somewhere that you only studied for PSLE 1 day before it started and you got into top school. Not every child is blessed like you.

And I'm thankful that I'm blessed with my \"intelligence\" though in exchange I'm really lazy.. You have no idea how many times I got thrown out of the house for not studying/always playing computer lol.

For term 1, I think your son may still not be able to complete the maths and science papers yet. School normally tries to cover syllabus by end of term 2.The June hols is a good time to start working on more past year papers. Before SA1, of course, you can try the SA1 past year papers.

I'm extremely delighted and humbled to have DOE feature my post re issues with taking up the 3rd language on their website in such a finely edited and eloquent manner.


It'll not do you any harm to read it once more on their website.

Dear psle 2012 and earlier parents.


Would like to seek your suggestions
My p5 boy is facing difficulties completing his math papers on time even for paper 1, no time to check depending on difficulty of the paper. He is able to get above 80 if we give him additionall time to finish, meaning, he spends too much time thinking Ann lacks practice. He only has so much time for math revision per week and we try to squeeze in one paper a week, timed and recording his time to see how long he needs to complete the paper. What else should I do to improve his speed and accuracy?

We are prepared to make him drop hcl end of the year to free up more time to practice math if situation does not improve by then- will it be too late? Thanks.
