mummy so kiasu:

Wow! Your DD did well for her PSLE. An improvement of 17 points is a great achievement. May I know which primary school she was from?
Mummy so kiasu... you have PM.

[quote=\"stressed mum over psle\"]Hi, I'm new to this forum. My son is taking his PSLE this year and we are both totally stressed out over it. He has high aims but unfortunately he has not been attaining the marks he wants. His Prelim results: English : 80 Chinese 58 Maths 63 Science 77. With these kind of marks, what kind of PSLE aggregate will he get?

Can anyone help??

My DD is in Sec 1 now. She was from one of the more popular schools in the West and had 232+1 for prelim (using raw score x.75). She obtained a final PSLE T-score of 249+2. Her best friend had 242+1 for prelim and had a final T-score of 258+2. Don't know if this info is of any use. 😄[/quote]Wow! Your DD did well for her PSLE.

Base on your son Prelim results, he will be getting around 210+10points for PSLE. Its accuracy will depend whether the Prelim papers are easy or tough papers. He should spend more time to practice his Maths, which is likely to be a tough paper. Some kids \"woke up\" after Prelim & \"chiong\" all the way & their results turn out to be beyond their expectations. All the best to your son.

Your DD's T score will be roughly about her overall percentage multiply by 3 (assuming the school's standard is the same as PSLE) Base on her SA1 result, her PSLE T score will be around 200. However, its accuracy will depend whether her school papers are easy or tough papers. Have you focus on her weak topics? No point to do lots of prelim papers but making the same mistake. Is it due to carelessness or weak in concepts. Give her lot of encouragement & motivation so that she can do her best during exam. All the best to your dd. Jia You!

We parents must show them (or let them realise) that we are always there to help them regardless of the marks/grades.

Can’t wait for it to be over. At this point, nothing much we can do but hope for the best. Her school is relaxed about it and organises lots of games and fun learning events to ease the tension. Wish every P6 parents the best. cheers

Wishing all the best for the P6 students for the coming exams! 😄

Hi,


In the interest of time, look at where the mistakes lie and zoom in on them. Do not be bothered about doing the question types that she's already got it right. There's a pedagogical theory that if children relearn things they already know, they will be bored, turned off, and in the long run, aversed to studies. For difficult topics, if you need help, get a good tutor who's interested to help her get the best results. In your free time, explain to her the 20-40 principle, that is if one studies conscientiously for 20 years, he or she will enjoy 40 years of comfortable working life. The opposite is also true, so take out a calculator and key in as examples, for her a 1k vs. 5k monthly salary, and work out a total for 40 years. This is what I usually do with current pupils I tutor and they get the point.

Brgds,
Tay
Yes. You are right. We practcie this as well.

I sit down with my P6 students and work out their likely T-scores (based on school available statistics),
asked them which sec schools they have in mind and encourage them to visit schools’ open houses.
Taking the guide of their choice of schools’ COP, I movitate them to work towards the goal.
Encouragements and movitations come from parents themselves is nevertheless the best to the child

All the Best to All P6 Pupils!
