Intensive revision in sept for psle

[James Ang]

A thorough revision should start now! Since PSLE is 8 months away, consider to allocate two months to focus on each subject. For example focus on English In Jan/Feb, Maths in Mar/Apr, Mother Tongue in May/Jun, Science in Jul/Aug etc. All subjects are equally weighted, so a balanced set of good results in PSLE will be the best bet to get the best sec schools by merit.

I am thinking of sending her to a math intensive class, any good recommendation?

Her Chinese teacher has already started preparing them for oral.3 pupils each morning at 6.50am.I am very glad to have this Chinese teacher to teach my 2nd DD. My 1st DD under her teaching scored A* two years ago without any enrichment. This teacher has good track record of pupils scoring A* under her.

My 2 cents…


IMHO and experience, Sep is not the time for crash course or intensive revision.
Ideally the Sep holidays should be used to recharge. After that there will be prelims papers to try out and PSLE Orals…

My DD took the PSLE last year(2010). What we did for DD was take a total no books/ studies hols for 3-4 days - chilled at Sentosa chalet. And took it easy for the rest of the holidays. Of course it depends a lot on the child- DD is a self motivated kid who pushes herself so it was important for the her to peak for the PSLE than be burnt out or become too anxious.

I was a bit worried wondering if it was right strategy, but it has worked out very well for her. She is a bright student and she has done us proud this PSLE.

Thanks Brenda. Yes, I did call Ernest wong to enquire about the camp and the intensive weekly sessions. His advice is most of his students attend both. But currently my DD has a home tutor for math, so I may only enrol her for the camps. My pal’s son attended these camps and were all praises for them.

S I will enrol her for the March camps.

During my elder boy’s PSLE year, I enrolled him in a crash course for Sci in the Jun hols.


I wont wait till the Sept one week hols to do intensive course. Might be quite unnerving for the child if he only knows by then what he does not know abt the subj.

Jun hols is a better choice as whatever found to be lacking can be caught up way before the Prelims/PSLE days.
