As your child approaches the final stretch before the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE), it’s natural to feel a mix of anticipation and pressure. With just two months to go, the key lies in structured preparation, consistency and emotional support. This article provides a practical, week-by-week learning schedule to help parents guide their Primary 6 child through this crucial period with confidence and calm.
🎯 Planning Matters
PSLE preparation is not just about doing more work, it’s about doing the right work at the right time. A good study plan should:
- Reinforce core subjects like English, Math, Science and Mother Tongue
- Identify and target weak areas early
- Simulate exam conditions to build confidence
- Ensure your child gets enough rest and motivation
📅 Prepare 2-Month Timeline Before PSLE
Start by identifying the subjects or topics your child struggles with. Spend the first two weeks strengthening those areas through focused revision or help from a tutor. Move on to past-year papers and timed practice, building up exam stamina in the next phase. In the final two weeks, reduce intensity to avoid burnout and shift focus toward confidence-building and rest.
| Week | Theme | Parental Role |
| 1 | Know Strengths & Gaps | Review past tests together |
| 2 | Master Difficult Topics | Provide extra help or arrange tuition |
| 3 | Speed & Accuracy | Use timers for MCQs and short answers |
| 4 | Writing Excellence | Focus on compositions & open-ended questions |
| 5 | Full Paper Strategy | Conduct full mock exams at home |
| 6 | Peak Performance | Encourage good sleep and healthy meals |
| 7 | Confidence Boost | Talk about mindset and calm nerves |
| 8 | Ready to Go! | Just light revision and lots of rest |
🗓️ Sample Daily Study Schedule
To support your child’s learning without overwhelming them, a balanced weekly routine is key. This sample schedule provides a healthy mix of revision, practice, rest and recreation. It ensures your child stays consistent with their studies while still having time to recharge. Feel free to adjust it based on your family’s rhythm and your child’s energy levels.
Monday to Friday:
- 4:00–5:00pm: Break / snack / free time
- 5:00–6:00pm: Core subject revision (rotate subjects daily)
- 6:00–6:30pm: Dinner
- 6:30–7:30pm: Practice papers or worksheets
- 8:30pm onwards: Wind-down time (no screens)
Saturday:
- 9:00–11:00am: Topical revision + past-year paper
- 11:30am–12:00pm: Corrections & review
- Afternoon: Free time, outdoor play, or enrichment
Sunday:
Keep it light, 1 hour of recap at most. Use the rest of the day for family time and mental reset.
✅ Tips for Parents
- Set mini-goals weekly: E.g. “Improve 10 marks in Math mock paper”
- Do 5-minute daily check-ins: Ask what they learnt or struggled with
- Save 2 mock papers for Week 6–7: Simulate real exam conditions
- Track progress visually: Use a calendar or sticker chart
- Celebrate effort: Not just marks, recognise hard work and discipline
- Stay positive: Your encouragement matters more than pressure
