I must be the odd one out. I don’t worry about exam techniques and am against teaching tailored for exams. At this age, I want a bigger approach and picture. I feel that they will eventually pick up the exam smarts later.

My p4 treats tests and exams like daily worksheets and has no concept of techniques lol. I feel that assessments are part of school life so they shouldn't become a big deal. We don't usually know exactly when exams are scheduled but nobody believes this. :rotflmao:
My blur-blur p2 is very different from ds though, and I doubt she'll figure out exam techniques like time management herself. Plus ds1 has experienced full length exams papers since p1; plenty of chances for him to 'practise'. I kinda wish my dd had exams in p1.
If we don't make exams out to be high-stakes and thus scary for little ones, they wouldn't be all stressed out about them mah. I can understand though that results, class ranking, streaming etc are important to many parents.

Mawar, I really like what you said about bigger picture.

My son's school has never bothered to give parents briefings... So nice of some schools to do so!

There are no \"mini tests\"? dd1 had them. So I guess there will be gradual build-up to the big paper, SA2 for them this yr bah.

Don't drink too much coffee though, saw Dr. Oz's show that coffee can cause cancer.

I am beginning to think what doesnt cause cancer. coz they say Cow's Milk and chocolate also causes cancer.

my drinking is limited coz I dont like coffee, just the caffeine shot.

YES, I was shocked when discovered milk can cause cancer. BUT....but chocolate too ? [/quote]Milk can cause CANCER!!! Then what about babies that need to drink milk???
