Dear Parents,

Hope you would all share your feedback for the Prelims.
TQ in advance!

My son told me that many P6 pupils were seen crying yesterday. I asked him why, and he said that they had failed some of their subjects (he doesn't know which subject, but he said most likely maths or english). To make things worse, these kids are from the top band classes. Poor kids. It's only the prelims and they are already so devastated. I hope they are not demoralised by this, since psle is just 1.5 mths away.

Wow. If some pupils in the top band classes also fail then what will happen to the average class? May be the Exams are really too tough but this will affect their mood and confident level.

May be it’s just out to drive them work harder for PSLE… came across students cried after prelim in the past and when PSLE release, they did very well, above 265 …

Perhaps to keep the kids on their toes.

I think it does not matter whether a school has 1 Prelim or 2 Prelims. What matters is - 'how closely the Prelims resemble the real PSLE exam standards?'


If Prelims are too tough, it may break the confidence level of students.

If they are too easy, the students will become 'too slack'.

The trick is to achieve the 'perfect resemblence to PSLE'. I wonder how many schools achieve that. Can anyone throw more light on this?[/quote]

Whatever... my DS having Prem1 this week and already before that we have rec'd Prem 2 dates ... go go go on going stress till PSLE lo
