The PSLE Oral begins tomorrow and our P6s were hard at work last week reviewing the 24 themes we covered this year and the 2024 Preliminary Oral questions list.
We had covered most of the themes in the list before their Prelim so we looked at individual questions and how we could answer them.
Are the Preliminary themes and questions important? While one of the 2023 Prelim themes came out for one of the days for the 2023 PSLE, no one can predict what will be tested for PSLE this year. However, studying the question types and how we can answer them is still interesting and beneficial.
Below are the 2024 Preliminary Oral themes and questions that TF’s students tested in their respective schools. This list was compiled with the help of our P6 students this year. Many themes were repeated but questions differ.
We wish all students all the best for their PSLE Oral!!
