Mine is till after mom's day. I didn't tell them the mother's day. Celebrations seem to have low priority to me now. I dont mind to have 2 papers a day get it done and over with even not much prep.MrsKiasu\" post_id=\"2022467\" time=\"1620110647\" user_id=\"43981:Is your child’s exams before or after Mother’s Day?

Does the secondary school provide the students with some practice papers in school?

In primary school, we can refer to past year papers (I printed some P5 SA1 exam papers, they have Situational Writing + Continuous Writing qns buried inside there). And also can use the 3-year series of PSLE exam papers, zuowen assessment books etc.
Secondary school literature no assessment books for poetry I guess? I hated Lit in school becos the teacher was so unclear, answers also dunno how to phrase them. Have to pray for a good teacher willing to let students consult them. -

For unforseen prose/ literary analysis, teachers may provide us a sample (text, question & model answer, marking criteria) beforehand, plus the focus (for instance, know your literary devices, themes). There are extensive practices during lessons so well-prepared -
