PSLE preparation tips
Study regularly and consistently
With still many months before the exams, it is ideal to start a regular and consistent study plan. This reduces the last-minute frenzy and worry that your child will not be able to finish revising all the topics in time (although some of these last-minute PSLE study hacks might help). Besides, reviewing your child’s learning often will promote long-term memory storage rather than the practice of ‘discarding’ the information right after.
If you are not confident about supervising your child’s study or tutoring them on your own, it is now easier than ever to engage a reliable primary school tutor in Singapore to help you with this! Leave it to the experts who have made it their living to tutor kids, and sit back as you receive regular updates about their progress without having to fret over the actual studying yourself!
Understand the exam requirements
It is a good idea to look through the exam syllabus and format to understand what your child needs to do during the exams. Your child’s school teacher or tutor should ensure that your child knows exactly what to expect, but it can be beneficial if – as a parent – you can also talk to your child and be familiar about what they need to face during the exams.
For example, you may want to let your child focus more on areas which have a higher mark allocation, or use the exam format to inform their time allocation for each section of the paper.
Conclusion
The PSLE is no doubt an important period of your child’s educational journey, and every parent has their preferred way of walking with their child through this time. If you are looking for professional guidance for your child to keep their study time organised and consistent, you know where to look! Check out our tuition timetable and book your class today!
