Hello Dragon babies’ parents,


My child cleared PSLE in 2023 with a surprise total score of AL 4. I’m here to share that PSLE is an uphill but not so scary endeavour after all.

DC attended group tuition only at the beginning of P6. Otherwise, we just tried our best at home. Here are some tips of what we did:

Chinese = watch the Oral component as the weightage is heavy at 25%. Read good composition samples
Math = Master every topic with Conquer and SL Education workbooks. Progress to Conquer Problem Sums (Standard, Model Drawing and Advanced editions). Attempt Olympiad type questions if there is time
English = Read extensively from the library, practice from Scholastics workbooks
Science = Master the school Marshall Cavendish textbook basics, review keywords in the syllabus, strengthen his understanding with Conquer Science practice books

- Revise with PhD Exam Package, Marshall Cavendish‘s PSLE Examiners Secrets Revealed closer to the exams
- Limit screen time usage. A child needs outdoor activities and sufficient rest to process learned content. Overstimulation and excessive blue light may jeopardize learning
- Do not attempt past year papers if the child’s foundation is not stable. It is a waste of time and induces anxiety
- Use an alarm clock to teach time management. The abolishment of exams in schools gave DC a shock in actual timed-papers
- Enrol for DSA only if that is what the child wants. The portfolio / interview time preparation is better used to revise for PSLE
That’s all I have to share. Happy 2024 and may every child obtain something positive out of their PSLE journey. Hwaiting!

I agree with littlegals.


Chiltern House's language pedagogy and curriculum are stellar. However the execution depends heavily on the teacher.

I withdrew my child from CH Mountbatten last year. There was a shortage of staff, my child's class teacher was just clocking hours. It's the \"there are other parents who are willing to pay\" attitude.

Like what littlegals said, if you can afford CH, you can probably afford other better schools.

May I know which pre-school you choose after CH? I also live near Mountbatten, have visited several child care there, previously think CH is good. My son went to Childfirst(not so good experience, HFMD very long time, so quit after 2 months) and Etonhouse 715(there K1&K2 will be cancelled next year, so I start to look for choice for K1)

St. James on Leedon. DD is happy with the school. We moved out of the East though.

I agree with littlegals.
