Your child brought back his exam paper and… Lo and behold, a few marks were deducted because he forgot to write a few numbers in the working. And even more marks were lost because he totally missed out answering one whole page! All these precious marks were lost because of carelessness!

Strangely, many children like to race to finish their exam paper so that they are the first to hand up their paper. To them, this is victory. To parents, this is OMG! Why aren’t they focused on completing the paper instead?

Actually, if you think about it, these kids were actually focused. But the focus was to just complete their exam, and not ensuring correctness. This doesn’t help in an exam situation, when your child is in a high-stress environment, with time against him. The chances of him making careless mistakes are even higher!

How can you help your child to focus on weeding out carelessness? Different parents advocate different ways, but this is what I do.

I ask my son to complete Section 1 (MCQ), then immediately move on to Section 2 (Short Questions). When the paper is completed, he will check through his work in Section 2 first. If there is still time, he will check for Section 1.

Why? Because MCQs are easier and Short Questions tend to be trickier.

His mind will be sound when he just starts so he should not make careless mistakes in Section 1. And he should still have stamina to focus on the Short Questions after that. Once that is done, he would use whatever focus he has left to check through his answers. Any time or stamina left to check the MCQs is bonus to him (and me).

Like I mentioned, this is not the only way to get him to retain focus while attempting an arduous exam paper. You might have some other methods to share. Please do!

 

The Last Opportunity For Your Child To Score At Least Another 10 to 15 Marks In His PSLE Math

 

For concerned parents who want to give their Primary 6 children the best chance to score in PSLE math 2017…

Master this Simple All-In-1 Strategy to Quickly and Accurately Solve All Confusing and Challenging Problems from 9 Topics in this Final Sprint before the PSLE!

Hi parents, it’s Jessica.

You know by now that I only recommend courses and programmes that are extremely beneficial to our children. So, I am so excited to introduce this PSLE Math booster programme to you.

I have been a fan of Kai Meng’s super-effective math-solving strategies for a while. And recently, he told me that he had developed a new All-In-1 strategy named the KA1 Strategy.

What’s so superbly useful with this strategy?

While many other tutors and centres advocate learning 18 or more methods to solve the various types of questions, your child can use the KA1 Strategy alone to solve challenging problems from 9 topics - whole numbers, decimals, fractions, ratios, percentages, averages, rates, speeds and volume!

The KA1 Strategy helps your child to not only identify the type of problems quickly, but also zoom into the fastest and most efficient way to solve each problem! No more being unclear of the problem after reading it again and again, or knowing even how to start solving it!

The KA1 Strategy also includes a fail-proof checking method (after they finish) that will greatly reduce the chance of making careless mistakes. This will drastically reduce the number of precious “wasted” marks in the math papers!

And best of all, this KA1 Strategy helps your child to not only get the right answer, but also allow him to solve the problems in Paper 2 with 30 minutes to spare to double-check his answers and workings!

And all these and more will be covered in Kai Meng’s upcoming 3-month programme named The Final Sprint for PSLE Math Programme.

He is opening this to 30 students only, and there are only 7 seats left.

So if you want your child to be helped in his PSLE Maths, this is THE OPPORTUNITY that you CANNOT MISS!
