Primary 1 english oral exam tips

My primary 1 daughter will be having her Primary 1 oral exam from 21/4 to 23/4. Many of my friends are surprised that she still has SA1 as many schools in Singapore have already scrap CAs and SA1.

Anyway, it seems that she is not stress about it ..which is good. Thought it will be a good exposure for her to experience how a oral exam is conducted and what she needs to do. Hopefully the feedback and pointers from the teacher after the exam will help her to be more ready when it comes to SA2.

I have scanned and attached some pointers of what they need to do and what not to do during oral exams and how parents can help their kids. Guessit will benefit those parents of pre-schooling kids (going P1) and those P1 parents whose kids will be having it at the end of the year.

PSLE Oral exam tips

Time flies and we are already into the 1st month of the 2nd term. For parents with kids taking the PSLE this year, I hope you are still keeping your sanity - try not to get too stressful and edgy now... Is about 5 more mths to the BIG day so try to pace your child in his revision. Set a home timetable, if you haven't - otherwise it will be very stressful for both your and your child when it comes to last minute revisions. PSLE will be testing on concepts from Pri 3 - Pri 6 and not just Pri 6 work only...so there's really alot of revision to do !

To help you relieve some PSLE fever & stress, below is a very humourous 5 mins video (produced by Paya Lebar Methodist Girls' primary school) of how to help your PSLE kid prepare for his oral exam. In fact, this video is so light-hearted and funny, it is suitable for kids for any levels to take a look and get some useful tips of what to do and what not to do during oral exams. Enjoy and let me know if you like it ok ?
