All About Preparing For PSLE

[smartmummy]

Hi All!

My son in P3.
How do u prepare for science? Is that enough school handbook and past year papers? When I refer some assessment books that has some qns that out of syllabus (I feel).Why I need to teach unnecessary qns and confused him and he forgot necessary points that are come to exams.In the school text book asked them to explore.So I just encourage my son to explore now.My husband asked why are you doing all these?Is that coming for exam?
Please share ur techniques and success stories. Thanks.

Give him some time to recharge battery, then check which are the topics he's weak in, then get him to work on those weak topics.

Hi ladies,

My son has been playing since 1st Nov. Told him I will be giving him time off. But deep down, i am also hoping he would pick up a book to read instead of PLAYING all the time. Very disappointing. Even Math tutor is upset he lost 10 marks on careless mistakes !!! Working correct but instead of 15, he wrote something else. Already told him he has to buck up or else tutor will quit :stompfeet:

Can someone advise what should I do? My DS is doing PSLE 2012...


1. When I put my son in class tuition, he talked too much, teacher put him at the back of the class and no improvement in grades. Past 6 mths I paid for 1to1 tuition 2x/week and he failed EL & CL and borderline for SC and MA (w/o improvement). What else can I do?

2. Everytime after taking every papers, he confidently claimed that the paper was easy and he would score at least 70 (except CL). How do I diagnosis what went wrong? Should I change tutor before it is too late?

3. EL/SC/MA same tutor, CL Chinese national tutor. My DS always failed in the CL compre section (avg 2/10, this SA2 9/34). He can read but just couldn't pick the answers from text and worst, when he has to write his opinion/comments on the morale of the story etc., he's clueless.

I am desperate now

There may be 2 problem areas:

1) Son's attitude. You hv to check on that, his attitude towards studies, life, etc.

2) The tutors. Are they qualified? Is the Chinese national tutor aware of MOE's requirement for chinese? Getting a chinese tutor to stimulate interest in chinese and to help a child academically is different.

Also, is the EMS tutor qualified? How is the tuition conducted? Does the tutor try to identify his weakness in certain topics and work on these?
