Exam preparation in Term 4

Dear 4F,
As term 3 draws to a close and term 4 starts in 1 week time, it is time to prepare for SA2 once again. The last 3 terms have indeed been very fulfilling and enriching, and there were moments where we were busy and tired too. Take this holiday as a time to rest and recharge yourselves. Spend time with your family members and keep up with exercise and good health.

This September holidays is also a time for you to start revising for the final year examination, if you had not yet started. There are so many things that we have learnt from primary 1 to primary 4, and it is almost impossible to start and finish revising for the exam just a day before. In taking an exam, the 'P' and 'R' in PRRICE can be put into practice.

'P' stands for 'perseverance', and this ingredient is always needed when we need to overcome a big challenge. When we persevere, we do not give up halfway, but push on toward our goal, which is to meet our aim for the subject. Remember the times we have review tests and we set targets? We persevere to reach our target. When we do not meet our target, we try again and again until we meet out target. Even for myself, Ms Seow, my primary 5 teacher many years ago taught my class perseverance. It is because of this teacher's words that I learnt not to give up easily. Try it, won't you?

'R' stands for 'responsibility'. In studying, we need to be responsible for our grades and try to perform to the best of our abilities. When we are responsible, we start our revision early and cover all that we have learnt in school. Do we leave any doubts unanswered? The answer is: NO. If we leave our questions unanswered, we lose out in understanding and our revision is not complete. This is not responsibility, and more needs to be done. When we are responsible, we ask teachers the things we do not understand, and we have extra forms of revision at home too. This will help us be prepared for the exams, and be confident when answering the questions. Apart from that, do not forget the saying 'An apple a day, keeps the doctor away!' Keep yourself healthy too. Eat and sleep well. Studying through the night will make you tired and you cannot concentrate on revision.

Most of all, enjoy the learning process! =) Exams are not set to make pupils fail. Exams test what you have learnt, and stretch you to think and apply what you have absorbed in class. If you have been mentally prepared for the exams a long way ahead, I'm sure that SA2 will be a challenge all of you can rise up to.

Take care!

Why we study hard is because it's to show that we understand our work well. Also, it is to prepare us for PSLE and gain a good footing in our foundation of subjects. Whether we beat others in grades is a consequence of the amount of English, Maths, Mother Tongue and Science that we understand. If you set yourself to understand and appreciate a subject, and put in effort to study, you would be happy with your grades.
