2011 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

[MummySTay]

I remember 2 years ago when DS had PSLE, he thought he lost about 20 marks for Maths. That year, the paper was very tough! In the end he still got A*. Hopefully, this piece of news will make some parents feel better.

What time is Paper 1 ending?

9.05 am.
Yesturday my ds class was released late after the first paper as he said the invigilator was kind of slow .... End up they left w too little time to eat and my ds didn't had anything for recess ... He was v hungry after paper 2. So last night I bought a bread for him to eat during today's recess break incase they are release late again .

DS brings along a snack during this PSLE period as I do not want him to rush to buy food for recess. It should be a relaxing recess for them with ample time to rest and go washroom before reporting for next paper.

Not only that.The four subjects scoring also can be like stock market.

Oh dear, if that is the case for GEP students, then what abt those from normal stream ...just hope this situation will not demoralise the kids...we parents must do our part to encourage our kids and tell them to fight on regardless !

Now I am feeling the nerves… Hope my son answered all questions. Paper 1 is MCQ, right?

So it is safer to get a DSA first as anything can happen during PSLE due to the national exam pressure.

Hi Leanne

This is very scary! :nailbite:

Think the stress will spread to CL and Science next week as these two subjects become some hope to help to cover for math.
