  11. OBSERVATIONS AND CONCERNS Pupils need to be more focused and made more aware of the importance of PSLE.Pupils need to reduce the time spent on on-line games, social network etc. (based on journal entries and feedback from pupils).Pupils should be reminded to head home straight after school and not to loiter around the school and neighbourhood .

  12. OBSERVATIONS AND CONCERNS Parental support is needed to ensure that time is set aside daily for pupils to complete their work and study. Revision has to start now. Pupils need to work consistently from the start and not weeks before the prelim or PSLE examinations. This is necessary as there is a need to revise topics learnt from Primary 3 to 5, especially for Mathematics and Science.

  13. BASIC TIPS Spend at least 1 hour daily after completion of homework to study and 2 hours every weekend. Plan a timetable and include all topics that need to be covered. Read widely.
