Next Gen ¯ÉÆÃPÀ My Journey to PSLE — Deeksha Bhat

PSLE... All 'local-school-going' Primary Six pupils have to go

through this dreaded phase in their "primary school lives". As
PSLE looms ahead month by month, week by week, day by
day, minute by minute, everyone is definitely fearful about it.
Everyone... Let me tell you how I am feeling right now, writing
this, with PSLE towering over me...

In Primary 1, being 6 years away from the "dark cloud", I wasn't introduced to it. But every day of PSLE, for that
batch of Primary Six pupils, looking at their anxious faces, I knew it was
something big and scary... This happened every day of PSLE every year,
right up until I was in Primary 5...

In Primary 5, the real preparation started. Teachers started STRESSING on
the fact that the following year was going to be THE year of "doom"... I
wasn't too bothered about what they said until 1 January 2015, when I
realized I was in Primary 6!

With all the Preliminary Examinations popping up like cardboard props, I
was very scared and I had no idea about what to do. It was like I was feel-
ing that I was cowering in fear whole PSLE is the big "bully"!

However, my parents are very supportive. They assure me that I could
face it and once I pass it, I'll realize, "Hey, PSLE was just a hurdle in the
whole race (referring to life)!" They continuously encourage me and give me more and more tips on how to
gauge questions based on their merit. I also realized that clearly understanding the concept is the key to solv-
ing a question. Also, my teachers continue to teach strategies to solve questions and they too, encourage us
nonstop! My school also supports us by praying for every day, without fail.

Having all these encouragements in my mind, the courage in me built up and I told myself that I could do it!

Now, even with PSLE "hot on my 'tail'", I'm not stressed as I know if I work hard and put in my best effort, I can
do it! And now, here I am, writing about PSLE when it's just 4 weeks away!
