What Are The Challenges Faced By PSLE Students in Singapore?
The PSLE is one of the most important academic milestones for Singaporean students. However, many Primary 6 students find themselves overwhelmed by the pressure and complexity of exam preparation.
Overwhelming Syllabus Load
The PSLE syllabus is broad and fast-paced. Many students struggle to keep up with new concepts while also revising older topics. With limited time and multiple subjects to manage, it’s easy to fall behind.
Time Management During Exams
Completing exam papers within the time limit is a challenge for many. Students often spend too long on difficult questions and then rush through the rest. This affects both accuracy and overall performance.
Difficulty Understanding Questions
Modern PSLE papers focus heavily on application and inference. Misinterpreting a question, even slightly, can lead to entirely incorrect answers, especially in Science and English open-ended sections.
Careless Errors Under Pressure
Even well-prepared students make simple mistakes due to stress. Skipping steps, misreading numbers, or forgetting to label diagrams can cost valuable marks, particularly in Maths.
Low Confidence and Exam Anxiety
Some students know the material but freeze under exam conditions. Anxiety reduces concentration, memory recall, and performance. Without proper coaching, these students struggle to translate knowledge into results.
Lack of Answering Strategy
Knowing content isn’t enough, students must also know how to answer. Without structured techniques, they often write too much, too little, or go off-topic, especially in open-ended questions.
At Stepping Stones, we address these challenges head-on through strategic techniques, consistent feedback, and personal attention. Our goal is to turn confusion into clarity and stress into confidence.
3 Essential Components to Acing PSLE
To score well in PSLE English, Maths, and Science, students must master three core skills:
Understanding Concepts
- Breaking down a topic into smaller, manageable parts
- Learning key formulas, theories, and concepts
Revision & Retention
- Breaking down a topic into smaller, manageable parts
- Learning key formulas, theories, and concepts
Exam Answering Techniques
- Knowing how to identify what examiners are looking for
- Answering in a way that maximises marks
Many students master the first two but fail in the third!
This is why our PSLE tuition focuses on bridging the gap between knowledge and exam performance, so your child can answer correctly, avoid careless mistakes, and score higher!
PSLE English Tuition: Unlock Comprehension & Composition with SCORE
The English paper tests more than just vocabulary, it assesses reading comprehension, inferencing, grammar accuracy, and writing style. Our SCORE technique helps students approach this complex subject with a clear structure:
- Scan: Quickly skim the passage to get the gist before reading questions.
- Circle: Highlight key instructions and keywords in the question.
- ORganise: Plan responses, especially for composition and open-ended answers.
- Reason: Think critically about what the question is asking.
- Expound: Support answers with elaboration, examples, and relevant details.
With SCORE, students learn how to present answers that are focused, structured, and aligned with the marking scheme. Our PSLE English Tuition builds strong foundations in grammar, vocabulary, and writing skills, while also training students to be efficient, logical readers.
PSLE Maths Tuition: Master Problem Sums with READY
Maths can be daunting for many students, especially when it comes to word problems and model drawing. That’s why we teach the READY method, a foolproof way to break down and solve even the most complex questions:
- Read: Understand the full question before attempting to solve it.
- Extract: Identify the knowns, unknowns, and relevant information.
- Analyse: Recognise the type of problem and choose a solving strategy.
- Draw: Use models, diagrams, or tables to visualise the question.
- Yield: Solve carefully, check answers, and present work.
Our PSLE Maths Tuition focuses on accuracy, logic, and time management. Students learn to avoid careless mistakes and become confident problem solvers. Through continuous practice and detailed feedback, they build both skill and speed.
PSLE Science Tuition: Ace Open-Ended Questions with SHARP
PSLE Science tests not only knowledge but also the ability to apply concepts in new situations. Open-ended questions require students to express themselves using specific scientific terms. Our SHARP strategy helps students respond with clarity and precision:
- Survey: Identify the topic and context of the question.
- Highlight: Mark important information, such as conditions or keywords.
- Ask: Form internal questions like, “What concept does this relate to?”
- Reason: Apply scientific logic to arrive at the correct explanation.
- Present: Write the answer clearly, using relevant scientific vocabulary.
Our PSLE Science Tuition ensures students fully understand the syllabus, including challenging topics like energy conversion, adaptation, and experimental analysis. With SHARP, they learn to write high-quality, complete responses that earn full marks.

Success Stories – Real Students, Real Results!
Brendan Tan – PSLE Score: 268 (Promoted to Hwa Chong High)
“I joined SSLC when I was in Primary 4. I had tried other tuition previously at other centres, but they did not seem to work for me as my grade was still stagnant, and I was striving for an A* in English and Math.
The teachers at SSLC helped me a lot by reinforcing the concepts taught in school. This was further simplified by using the Exam Techniques taught at the centre, which were easy to remember and effective. They helped my learning to be more systematic and precise, and hence increased my confidence in reaching my target for PSLE. (I was aiming for an aggregate of 260 then). Moreover, the lessons were entertaining and educational, and I never thought of it as a chore to attend tuition there.
Imagine my joy when I received my result for PSLE. I scored an A* for both my English and Math and achieved an aggregate of 268. I had surpassed my target set for myself. Thank you to all the supportive teachers, especially teacher Allyson. You have always inspired me to do my best, and I will continue to strive to do better.”
Chia Yan Yu – PSLE Score: 262 (Promoted to National JC)
“Teacher Allyson has been my sole tutor ever since Primary 1 and tutored me on all primary school subjects for 6 years.
For primary school students, the main obstacle lies in understanding novel ideas that are not only foreign but also immensely complex for younger minds at first glance. However, teacher Allyson manages to break down core ideas into simple components that are easy to digest for budding students. She does so by bringing in relevant real-life examples and also memory techniques such as acronyms to make sure students can remember concepts, thus building a strong foundational groundwork needed to tackle high-level problems.
Beyond clear and concise teaching techniques, teacher Allyson goes beyond pen and paper by motivating students to make excellence not just a goal, but a habit. She imbues high expectations within each student to motivate us to surpass past accomplishments. Being firm yet sincere in her interactions with students, we hence strive harder also to not let her teachings go in vain. Thank you, dearest teacher, for everything.”
