Is this programme targeted for mainstream or GEP students?

Both mainstream and GEP students can join the programme as the materials covered focus on PSLE’s topics and components.

However, please note that at the Primary 5 level, the GEP students take the GEP examination which is slightly different from the mainstream examination. If Primary 5 GEP students would like some practice for the PSLE, they can sign up for this programme.

Will there be any homework?

There will be no homework. Students will be given time to try most questions as part of classwork. For the remaining questions, students can try them at home and check their answers against the answer keys provided.

Will the worksheets be marked?

For English, components like composition writing will be collected by the teacher for marking.

For other English components/Maths/Science, our teachers will go through the answers in class. Students are not required to hand in their worksheets for marking. Due to the intensive nature of the programme, our teachers will focus more on the teaching content, question analysis and answering methods/techniques. Hence, answer keys are provided to ensure that there is a model answer to check against after the programme ends. This is unlike our core programme where we do not typically provide solutions.

If I can only make it for 1 day out of the 2 days, can I still attend the session? Are the contents covered related?

You can still attend the session as different topics are covered over the two days. Students do not need the knowledge of the first day for the second day.

My child already attended the Primary 4/5 Intensive Revision programmes. Is this any different?

Yes. While the components covered may be similar, the passages and questions are different. By attending the Primary 5/6 Strong Start for Academic Success programme, your child will be exposed to a wider variety of questions and has the opportunity to practise more.

My child already attends the Primary 4/5 core programmes. How will this be useful?

The Primary 5/6 Strong Start for Academic Success programmes focus on the sections which are key to helping your child score in the exam. Your child can use this opportunity to consolidate their learning or to revise areas which they feel that they are not familiar with. These programmes also serve to give students a head start in Primary 5/6.
