I’m glad exam is over for my P4 boy. He got his maths results the next day right after he sat for his paper. He got 71 and I am hoping he gets the same if not better for his other subjects. He was worried for his Maths the most. Like I mentioned earlier, he was totally neglected as I was concentrating on his PSLE brother but its all over and now all he wants to do his enjoy and enjoy and play lotsa of maple story

will u feel sad ?angry ?disappointing? or cant be bother ?

For me, it should be wise for us, parents, to concern about how did they prepare for SA2 than concerning about the result.

Yep. I always tell my son that he will be rewarded for effort put in, not just for the exam marks.

I would examine what went wrong and discuss possible solutions with child.

me too ... the effort put in is more important.

For me, result is used to find the 'weakness' points and find ways to strengthened that.

I found that with this approach, the child is less stressful - more interested in performing well (aka giving the best effort) rather than the exam marks.

I remember reading a story (i think on the net) about a child that did not return home after getting his result because his marks is not that good and is afraid his parents will scold him. Very sad ...

I hear of many cases, of children being scolded/punished for not scoring high marks for the SA exams. I feel that most parents should ask themselves "Could I have done any better, at their age?".
