Hi Leanne

Hi Leanne

I'm not sure but based on the sample provided at the PSLE booklet, think is something quite similar (should be easier and shorter) to the short paassge that was always tested in CL Paper 2, 阅读理解，question 21 to Q23.

Hope the above information useful.

Hi Leanne

Think may be read to him some passage under CL Paper 2 (3/4 of the passage) and let him do the MCQ.

Also these few days watch more CL show and news?

[Leanne]

Hi Brenda,

Thanks for the great tip and now, the stress mode is very high after new discovery...

Hi Leanne

If the passage is too long then think may be 1/2 page will do.

BTW, the school may also makes use of these few days to give them some training before the actual test.

Usually the prelim LC would be tougher than PSLE LC. As such, please take good care and I'm sure your DS will be able to do well!

Jiayou! :rahrah:

For the prelim science papers, do your kids normally get all correct ie perfect score of 60 marks ?

[Leanne]

Hi Brenda,


Thank you for your kind words,but really cannot take chance.
Most of his classmate has at least one wrong in the recent lc listening.
DS kept saying its tough.Mid year, he has a perfect score.

More work ahead.Chinese teacher has no signed in doing anything, think prelim over, ROD for the chinese teacher.
