2019 PSLE Discussions and Strategies (Children born in 2007)

While I applaud the parents here for trying to provide the best resources for their children, for parents who are following this, please make sure you pace your kids well and do not overstretch them in this final lap of the PSLE year. I had been done with 3 PSLEs and sharing my own experience, I find that the school would sufficiently prepare them well for PSLE. I did not buy any top sch papers nor attempt to do them all. I just printed snippets off the free website and gave them to my kids where I find weaknesses only. The rest of the time, I need them to sleep early to be able to focus in class and also to continue their enrichments like dancing/sports/art which they enjoyed. I think striking a balance is important to ensure whilst the going gets tough (teachers will nag and nag about PSLE and lots of homework everyday!), the kids can get going on a positive note, knowing that there's \"work-life' balance after all. I also did not confiscate their gadgets but would only allow them to use after 6pm. In the end, I think my 3 kids did fairly well enough to qualify for a good school, so all's good in the end.

Hi sembgal,

Thanks very much, for this list of 2019 PSLE subject dates.

Thank God, that SEAB had arranged the timetable such that, after Friday (27 Sept 2019) demanding Maths paper, still got a week-end to rest, to re-cuperate, prepare for demanding Science paper following week (1 October 2019)

Based on above SEAB timetable, left only 9 months, then everything over. Press on !!!

Personally, i find taking 4 exam within one same year demanding : P6 ( CA1, SA1, Prelim SA2, then finally PSLE), because each of these exam carry 100 percent weigtage !


Don’t mind skipping P6 CA1.

Just go direct to SA1 in May, followed by Prelim very fast in July, then PSLE

I don’t understand. Why do each of them carry 100% weightage? I thought it would be 0% weightage because the PSLE is the one that matters. Even if anyone fails CA1 I doubt the school will force them to be retained one year. More likely they will ramp up the remedials for that child.

For the languages, I believe the kids will benefit from having more “exams” in P6. Especially for oral practice. Need exam conditions so that they can prep more realistically for the real PSLE Oral.

DD school nv have CA1 for all levels so I Guess really dependent on the schools. P5 and p6 (half year) results needed for DSA application. So if only Sa1 in p6 also quite risky. So pros and cons

Anyone want order past Yr paper from Jeremy? He said will give discount for bulk purchase, to individual address.

[sweetbaby]

Talking about past year papers…


Is it likely school will go thru 2018 papers with students? Possible to complete the whole stack assuming one usually starts after all P6 topics are taught?

[ss2]

Most schools will go thru past 3 years actual psle papers usually.Some teachers do give previous yr papers for reference.

After prelims students usually will be given more papers for them to practice.But there may not be enough time for tchrs to go thru all.
