Yeah, one of my son's current classmates in Sec 1, left singapore after p5, went to Australia for his p6 year, skipped psle as such, came back in Dec/Jan this year (the sec 1 year), took the school's entrance exam and gained admission and joined the school late - maybe in late Jan or Feb.. But well, this boy is not coping all that well actually.
At the rate it's going, I think I better save up for migration - ketchup not so attractive and very stressful lei..... -

Have you started drawing up a revision schedule/plan for your kids?
With 12 months to PSLE, they will need to learn new topics (algebra, circles, speed, etc) AND revise everything they've learnt from P1-P6.
I've already drawn up my student's revision schedules by subject then topics & even planned out books by their page numbers & worksheets my students must complete every week, either at my place or as homework.
It's important to plan ahead and the students know what is expected of them.
Consistent hard work will definitely pay off at the end of the day.
Any sample/example of how a revision plan should look like. Ive always come up with a schedule and end up not following the timetable and everything becomes so \"rojak\". -

They dont use K1/K2 for nothing for a headstart to the road to PSLE - Kiasu1 /Kiasu2..? Perhaps, i must say!verykiasu2010:
I am grateful for the wake up call because many schools' DSA call for P5 results
DSA call asked for P5 result :!:
Markfch .... So if the countdown start from 1st Day P1 .. you have yet to start and I have justed started .... many more years to go :rotflmao:
I once heard someone said:
If you start preparing for PSLE in P5 & P6 .. you will be doing extreme catch-up
If you start preparing for PSLE in P3 & P4 .. you will be doing catch-up
If you start preparing for PSLE in P1 & P2 .. you will build good foundation for PSLE
If you start preparing for PSLE in K1 & K2 .. are Singaproean really that Kiasu? :? :? :rotflmao: :rotflmao: -
Aiyo, why you all so kiasu. :rotflmao:I'm a P6 student, in the middle of PSLE now. My countdown only started 40 days before the first psle paper.

It should look like the school's timetable with details like which book & page numbers to complete within each session.mrswongtuition:

I need some help in planning a good time table for my DS, who’s also sitting for his PSLE in 2011. I always draw up a time table at the beginning of the year…but some time down the calendar, something would disrupt the calendar…and the calendar goes down the drain. Also, in P6, I’m sure there would be loads of homework given by the school. Add in all the supp classes and occasional learning journeys/competitions etc, the poor kid does not have much time. How to structure a time table like this? My DS’s form teacher just reminded us parents that we shouldn’t be giving them extra work, only need them to finish off their school home work and they will be well prepared. I wonder if this is true?..

If your child is lucky to get a good school teacher, then yes.
If not, it's best to do extra work at home.
Dealing with last minute activities/events/supplementary classes:
1. Always be prepared for it. This means that you should have a 'back up' timetable for days that they come home at different timings.
2. Prioritise. Will the learning journey be beneficial? I know of parents who withdraw their kids totally from CCA and 'extra non-curriculum' activities like learning journeys. Some even write to the teacher to inform the teacher that the child will not be going for supp classes as they are not learning anything from there.
3. Loads of homework given by the school: Kids got to learn to work smart. Sometimes there are free periods between lessons, they should quickly do some work, not play. During recess, they should spend time eating and resting/reading, not running around the school going meaningless things.
If the kids are trained to finish their work in a limited timeframe, they will be able to finish alot of schoolwork in a short period of time. You will be amazed once they get the momentum going.
My students can finish 1 exam paper per subject in 3 hours (given by school), take a nap, then start off reading for a while and do tuition homework. And they manage to finish and still have time to go online for 30 minutes and have a nice dinner.
It's all about discipline. Those not used to it will have trouble initially but once they get the hang of it, they will move faster.
It's good to start NOW. They will be rather slow in progressing in their work. You need to TIME THEM. Then they will start to speed up.
