Wow, with the PSLE and SA2 exams over, I noticed that some of my students have been feeling a little demoralised and sad over their results. Of course there are some of them who have improved(well done!) but some of them didn't get the results they wanted.

Well, don't spend too much time moping around because just feeling sad for yourself is not going to solve your problem. Either you just enjoy feeling sad for yourself(which is a bit scary) or you really don't like the feeling(which is quite understandable), do something about it!

Start with a short review of the paper, which I think your teachers will help you with. Don't be so concerned with copying the right answer. Focus on understanding how to get the answer and why you ended up with the wrong answer.

If you just copy the answers, you will be able to answer the questions if you are lucky enough to see it in another paper.
If you understand how to get the answer, you will be able to answer other similar questions by using the same process.

I know it sounds quite cheem... but actually this is a good chance to really think about how you can help yourself achieve the goals/targets that you want, not for your parents but for yourself.

To close, don't forget to have lots of confidence in yourself! And when you feel down or sad, just remember that there are many people out there (including me!) who have confidence in you and are cheering you on!

Gambatte!
