PSLE Preparation Tips


In daily revision, attempt all kinds of questions eg: MCQ, short-answer questions, and long questions.

When attempting past year papers, time yourself. Aim to finish the paper within the stipulated time.

Most Maths problem sums can be solved by the "model method". Draw models and show your working clearly as marks will be awarded for working (method) and answer.

Adhere to a routine which allows time for leisure and rest.

Jot down formulae, properties (for Maths and Science) in point form on cards, they save time in revision.

Although languages take longer time to master, it takes common sense to decipher new words in a passage.

Read the sentences and words surrounding the word to guess its meaning.

Go through questions/concepts you do not understand with your tutor regularly. Practice makes perfect, so
be diligent in doing the work assigned by your school teachers and tutors. 
 
Sleep early on the night before exams. There is no point in last-minute revision as short-term memory does not last.

That way you can ask your teacher or in class. It is a good idea to find a way to compare your reading, yours notes and any audiovisual or internet materials in order to better underst

Explore A Child’s Learning Potential With Private Tuition

Jackie Wong   M ost people conveniently associate the need for  private tuition  with poor academic results. In actual fact, there are good reasons why outstanding students should engage themselves in tuition sessions as well. While these children have demonstrated their academic excellence through their examination results, relying purely in learning in class can severely limit their learning potential. In a classroom setting, due to the high students to teacher ratio, teachers are often forced to progress the syllabus at a pace that allows breathing space for poorer students to catch up. Such method become a hindrance to quick learners who have understood what they have studied, but see their enthusiasm to advance curbed by the lack of proper guidance. Forced Braking After a prolonged period of slowing down and waiting, students may begin to lose their interest and drive.
