PSLE Chinese 101: Key Insights for Parents and Students

With the PSLE approaching, many parents ask themselves: Is my child prepared for the Chinese exam?

The reality is that Chinese is often one of the most challenging subjects to excel in — not due to its impossibility, but because it requires regular practice and strategic preparation. In this blog post, we’ll guide you through the PSLE Chinese exam format, offer advice on what you can do as a parent, and explain how our PSLE Chinese June Holiday Course can provide your child with the advantage they need.

1. Understanding the PSLE Chinese Paper

The PSLE Chinese exam is divided into several components:

Component	Marks	Weightage
Paper 1: Composition	40	20%
Paper 2: Language Use & Comprehension	90	45%
Paper 3: Listening Comprehension	20	10%
Paper 3: Oral	30	25%

The total score for PSLE Chinese is 200, which will be converted to 100%.

2. How Parents Can Support Their Child

• Create a Consistent Study Routine

  Allocate 30 to 45 minutes daily for Chinese revision. Even small, regular doses make a big difference.

  
  

• Prioritise Practice Over Perfection

  Encourage writing short compositions, reading model essays, and doing past-year comprehension exercises.

  
  

• Make Chinese Part of Daily Life

  Watch Chinese cartoons or news, listen to Chinese songs, or speak simple Chinese at home — it all builds comfort and exposure.

  
  

• Focus on Oral Practice

  This is one of the most heavily weighted components. Record your child answering oral questions and play it back for review.

  
  

• Stay Positive and Encouraging

  Many children already feel anxious about their performance. Your calm encouragement builds confidence.
