No stress

Last minute studying is the secret to one's success

Nigel is in the midst of his PSLE preliminary exam (i.e. Prelims) and for the sake of comparison with all the other exams he has had to endure throughout his primary school stint, he is the most relaxed that he has ever been - at least it appears that way.

He's taking his time to open his books, finish up his homework, correction-tape his mistakes. He even finds time in-between work sessions to read some Harry Potter.

As most parents, we should be more stressed over his exams than he is - and although that is certainly true, this time we find that he is relatively well prepared and want to see how well (or bad) he can do.

Too much pressure is not always a good thing. I can't stress on that enough.
