DD can only take short time out, after which she has to resume with revision for come Monday's Prelims.

Same here. DS is having tuition now, then weekend revise for next week's prelims. I think I can breathe a bit better after next week.

KC:

All the best to the forthcoming Prelims, PSLE oral.


I'm trying to be as cool as a cucumber.... but I keep the butterflies inside my tummy. For DS1, loads of homework but will end in last week of July as teachers told them August is for revision and rest.... he said some of his friends gave up liao. suffering from burnt out.

Hi, newbie reporting.

We are planning to get a dog. But there are currently split views on this issue as none in the family has any experience with caring for a dog.
Need a mentor to 'walk me through' the A to Z of having a dog as pet.
Please pm me. Thanks a lot!

Hi Jedamum,

I have a 2 yr old Shih Tzu and she's a joy to have. She is my son's de-stresser during homework time, and if we go away, we miss her terribly.
Alot of work, like taking care of it's diet, make sure she's well-groomed every month, giving her treats ( expensive) and toilet training. When she's ill, visit to the vet is very expensive ( cost more than human)...

Mumflower:

So quiet here... every one still have exams?

DS1 oral started yesterday ( MT & English), main papers next week.

He said the MT conversation was tough and he reckons he'll fail that.

Hi Parents (and all those kiasu students out there like me haha)


It's been a year since I started haunting this site for tips for PSLE and I thought I would return the favour to all my juniors out there!

1. It's very important not to start mugging papers right now! Chances are that you'll peter out just before the critical period. Start on bite-sized chunks and work your way up such that by July you are going full steam ahead. The week before the exam should be filled with revision for important points and psyching yourself up for the exam.

2. Try not to eat out at least 1 week before prelims/PSLE in case of food poisoning (Don't eat bananas or curry too! :imconstipated: ) Take care of yourself by hydrating constantly etc. because if your child has a high fever on the day of the exam, he will still have to sit for the paper (even with vomiting etc., just held in a different room)

3. Work hard for prelims! In case you are unable to sit for PSLE, prelim marks will play a part!

4. Pep talks also help to destress your child - perhaps a fun outing every now and then will help to make things more bearable.

5. Schools may start piling papers and sometimes we students can't finish every single one (especially math) Towards the date, teachers may start allowing students to complete just part of the paper (The long questions are always the most important) instead of everything.

6. I'm not sure if this is still applicable, but a hint to those who flounder with the model method: Try using simultaneous equation instead!

:rahrah: Jiayou kiddos! The hectic period has just begun (It gets much, much, worse later on) You can do it!! :rahrah:

Thank you Reversi, Good tips indeed....

My DS2 is very complacent. Doesn't check his work, handwriting is terrible.

He's very good in English though. He's actually quite OK. But complacency costs precious marks. He's aiming to go top 3 class in P3. So i told him, check your work!

DS1 is having lots of remedial classes. his teachers are very on. I think they got KPIs to maintain. I'm not complaining though.
