Hi Kitty2



As to your query about the Oxford Essentials series - back in the days when I was still buying assessment books by the ton, they did sell them at Popular and since then, I have seen them off and on at some Popular stores, but other parents tell me that it’s not readily available except through the below link - there is a number for an entity called \"Creative Steps\" at this link where you can make enquiries as to how to purchase if you are interested; alternatively you can contact the author through her blog and I'm sure she'll direct you where to purchase her books.

Hi smartmummy


You are the smart one indeed - I am really lousy at anything to do with IT

Glad to share and happy if any one finds what I wrote useful

I realised my memory was getting fuzzy about PSLE matters since I ended my last PSLE journey last year, so I must rack my brains for anything else useful to share and share it soon.

God bless you and your family too!

Hi Pslemom2011,

Thanks to you from my side too..

DS came back with PSLE dates. I just stuffed the paper into the drawer. Don’t want to look at it and spoil my first school week of the year.

re: friction pen
I remember reading a thread last year that a parent tested the friction pen and the ink faded under heat. Do a search. I rather not take the risk.

I am againt the friction pen too. I told my ds it's ok to use for your normal work but not for exam papers.[/quote]Checked with DS on this friction pen, in fact his school has banned them from using this pen for exams. Reasons being
1. Disappear under heat
2. Prone to cheating (students may correct the answers when the test papers come back for their checking without any visible trace of being corrected)

Hi psle2011mum

Thanks for your advice to use Past year papers from other schools for comprehension (OE). It is indeed true that the passages from past year papers really are the most relevant to what is tested in my DD’s school, better than any other books. Your reply is most helpful! Thank you once again for sharing such useful tips.
God bless you and your family!
To all parents here who are giving useful tips, I feel so blessed to have found this trail of useful notes, please keep them coming and I greatly appreciate all the advices! Realised so important to keep encouraging one another here. To some of you who are struggling with changing your children’s attitude, you really must have a lot of patience and encouragement. I used to have problems with my DD but constant engagement with her on the importance of the PSLE finally made her realise that she has to do something about her attitude and efforts. So parents don’t give up, be persistent and you will succeed. All the best for PSLE this year!

Friend of mine has a DD who got a Edusave Eagles award. She was wondering if such edusave awards will help her DD during DSA. Anyone has any imput?
