The #1 Mistake Parents Make When Helping Their Child Study for PSLE

J’s dad was confused. His daughter, a hardworking Primary 4 student, had completed more than 10 exam papers in preparation for her End-of-Year exams. Yet, despite all that effort, she barely passed.

"She’s doing so much work—why isn’t she improving?" he asked, frustration clear in his voice.

The Problem: More Practice Doesn’t Always Mean Better Results

It’s easy to think that doing more = getting better, but that’s not always true. If a child keeps repeating the same mistakes, or if they’re simply going through the motions without really understanding, then more papers only reinforce bad habits—not better learning.

When we analyzed J’s papers, we didn’t see a lack of effort. Instead, we found something more important:

🔍 She was making the same mistakes over and over again.

📌 She wasn’t applying concepts correctly.

💡 She lacked strategies to tackle tricky questions.

By shifting her focus from quantity to quality, we helped J approach her learning differently. The result? She jumped two grades in Primary 5! 🎉

What Made the Difference?

Here’s what helped J improve:

✅ Targeted Learning – Instead of just doing more papers, we identified her weak areas and focused on strengthening them.

✅ Strategic Practice – Rather than rushing through papers, she learned to analyze mistakes, refine techniques, and apply concepts correctly.

✅ Confidence Building – With the right approach, she stopped feeling overwhelmed and became an independent, confident learner ready to take on new challenges.

So… Should Your Child Stop Doing Practice Papers?

Not at all! Practice is still important, but mindless drilling won’t lead to real improvement. Instead of just completing more papers, the key is making every paper count.

Here’s how:

✨ Identify weak areas first – Focus on concepts that need strengthening.

✨ Practice with intention – Don’t just complete papers—review mistakes and learn from them.

✨ Apply the right strategies – Teach your child how to think through problems, not just memorize solutions.

If your child has been working hard but still isn’t seeing progress, it might be time to switch things up.
