During my years of invigilation in Science examinations, I have seen for myself many students who were not able to complete their papers on time. A lot of them would write long paragraphs of explanation in answering Booklet B questions and ended up not able to complete the rest of the questions.

Learners need to be intrinsically and extrinsically motivated to be better engaged in their learning. Hence, a fair and consistent extrinsic reward system should be made available for young learners. To this end, we have launched OwlSmart Rewards, through which our paid users have the opportunity to enjoy attractive offers with our partnering merchants, as a reward for revising with OwlSmart.

Although many parents know that their children are weak in certain subject(s), they could not pinpoint their children’s level of mastery in a certain topic or component in a subject. OwlSmart has designed an engaging and effective feature in its online revision tools – Topic Challenge.

No matter how your child’s results turn up to be, as long as he is eligible for secondary school, you and your child will have to plan for the next phase of education after PSLE – Choosing a secondary school under the Secondary 1 (S1) Posting Exercise. Basically, your child will be posted to a secondary school based on three criteria: his PSLE results, his choice of schools and the vacancies available in the schools.
