Night before Sci SA2 Paper
-
I do not believe in last-minute cramming. I never did myself as I found it just increases stress and confusion, so I have never asked my kids to do it either. My advice to my kids was: understand as much as you can in daily work, memorise certain items but use your understanding to support long-term memory rather than just relying on short-term memory, revise in advance, then on the final night, relax and sleep early (maybe just 30 mins earlier than usual).

Tomorrow my P4 also last paper ah.
Will get him to read through school notes, file and a science guide. I try to avoid direct coaching on the last day as i will get worked up :frustrated: if he still does not know what he was supposed to know - i prefer to be an ostrich! -
DD also in P3 is done with her exams.
For Science, during the 4 days PSLE break, I asked her to go through the notes given by the school. Only to find that was really very little notes given. So pulled out Science process skills open ended assessments and told her to do the questions and write down the correct answers and use those as revision instead.
The day before the paper, we did nothing. What can be done should have been done. Going through everything again may just cause anxiety if she starts 2nd guessing herself. So we just chilled. -
Thank you all for your kind reply and sound advice.
Yup … I think the most important thing is not to confuse the kid. I think I more or less know what to do le. All the best for all your dd/ds SA2 exams! -
what i did was to ask dc to go thru the past year papers that she has done, with the model answers provided. i think in this way, it is better for them to know what should be added in the answers… esp keywords…
i usually highlight those keywords way before and let her go thru them a week before exam… on the last night, just get to go thru again and read out loud…
