A real passage and a real question.

Two actual items from the practice tool, so you can judge the level and format before your child tries it.

Part 1 · Reading Aloud

"Becoming Class Monitor"

Good morning, everyone. Today, I would like to share with you my experience of becoming the new class monitor this year.

When my teacher first announced that I had been chosen, I felt a mixture of excitement and nervousness. I had never held such a responsibility before, and I wondered if I would be able to do a good job. On my first day as monitor, I had to lead my classmates to assembly and make sure everyone lined up quietly. My hands were slightly shaky, but I reminded myself to stay calm.

Over the next few weeks, I slowly grew more confident. I learnt to speak up when the class was too noisy, and I made sure to greet my teachers politely every morning. There were times when some classmates did not listen to me, and I had to learn how to handle such situations patiently instead of getting upset.

My teacher once told me, "A good leader does not need to shout to be heard." That advice has stayed with me ever since. Being class monitor has taught me the importance of responsibility, patience and leading by example.

I am grateful for this opportunity, as it has helped me grow into a more confident and responsible student. Thank you.

Part 2 · Stimulus-Based Conversation

A family camping trip

PSLE oral Stimulus-Based Conversation photo: a family of four smiling inside a tent, playing board games together

Look at the picture. What do you think the family is doing together?

Show the model answer

In this picture, I think the family is enjoying a camping trip together and playing a board game. Here are my reasons why.

Firstly, I can see a tent set up in the background, with the family seated on a picnic mat in front of it. This tells me that they are most likely camping outdoors, perhaps at a park or campsite. There are four family members in the picture, and they appear to be gathered closely around a board game placed on the mat.

Secondly, everyone in the picture has a smile on their face. This shows me that they are enjoying each other's company and having a great time together. Playing a board game as a family is a wonderful way to bond and spend quality time with one another, away from their phones and daily busy schedules.

For example, my family also enjoys playing board games together, especially during the weekends. We usually play games like Monopoly or Uno after dinner on Saturdays. I feel very HAPPY during these moments, as it is a rare chance for all of us to sit together and laugh over silly mistakes made during the game.

In conclusion, I can see that the family in the picture is spending quality time together, enjoying a game while camping outdoors.

There can be many good answers. This model answer is one example.

Feedback after every attempt

Not just a number. What to do next.

Every attempt is marked straight away, with a score for each part and written feedback your child can act on. Screens below are from the app.

FAQ

Questions parents often ask

Still unsure? Try one practice: it takes no account and shows you more than any description can.

Start a free practice
Can my child retry a topic as often as they like?

Yes, once subscribed there is no cap on attempts for any topic. During the free trial, each new practice on a topic counts towards your 3 free practices.

How many practice topics are there?

There are 40 practice topics, each with a Reading Aloud passage and picture-based conversation questions in PSLE style. New topics are added from time to time. They are written for practice and do not predict what will appear in the actual exam.

What is the mock oral?

The mock oral is modelled on the current PSLE Oral format. You get 5 minutes to prepare, then Reading Aloud that starts with a given situation, then a conversation about a photograph with three questions. The passage and the photograph are on different themes, as in the real exam. It is practice, not an official mark.

How is my child's answer marked?

Reading Aloud is assessed from your child's audio for accuracy, fluency, completeness and expression, and turned into a mark out of 15. For the conversation part, each spoken answer is transcribed and marked out of 25 for relevance, development of ideas and language, and your child sees a model answer to compare. The result is practice guidance, not an official PSLE mark.

Is this AI or a real teacher?

The feedback in the app is generated by AI. The practice topics and model answers are written by Mustard Seed English Class, which has taught English one-to-one online for 10 years. If you would like a teacher to listen to your child, we offer weekly 1-to-1 oral coaching on Zoom at S$60 per 45-minute session.

Can my child practise anytime?

Yes. It is available online at any hour from a device with a microphone, with no need to wait for a scheduled lesson. It works best on Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.

Do we need an account to try it?

No. Your first practice needs no account and no email: just tap the button and start. Afterwards you can create a free account, which saves that first result, gives you 2 more free practices (3 in total) and unlocks free Paper 2 practice. No credit card is needed.

What is free, and what does it cost?

You get 3 free practices in total: the first with no account, then 2 more with a free account. A practice is one topic, or one mock oral: Reading Aloud plus the conversation questions. Paper 2 practice (Grammar, Vocabulary, Grammar Cloze, Editing, Vocabulary Cloze, and Synthesis & Transformation) is free with an account.

After that there are three ways to pay: the monthly plan at S$19.90, which renews every month and can be cancelled at any time under My Subscription (you keep access until the end of the period you have paid for); a 1-month plan at S$19.90 paid once, with no renewal and nothing to cancel; or the Exam Pass at S$59.90 paid once.

What is the 1-month plan?

The 1-month plan is a single payment of S$19.90 that gives 30 days of full practice. It does not renew, so there is nothing to cancel and no surprise charge. When the 30 days are up, you can choose a plan again.

What is the Exam Pass?

The Exam Pass is a single payment of S$59.90 with no renewal, so there is nothing more to pay. You practise as much as you like until the PSLE exam period is over. It lasts until the end of 31 October: bought from 1 September to 31 August, it runs to 31 October of the next year (for example, bought in January 2027, it is valid until 31 October 2027).

It costs about the same as three months of the monthly plan, so it suits students who will practise for longer than that. If you only need a few weeks, the 1-month plan costs less.

Can a parent pay instead of my child?

Yes. On the payment screen your child can create a secure payment link for any of the plans and send it to a parent on WhatsApp or any other app. The parent pays on their own phone without logging in to the child's account. The link works for 24 hours, and your child can create a new one at any time.

Is there a referral scheme?

Yes. Once you have an account, the app gives you a personal invite link. A friend who uses it gets 2 extra free practices when they create an account, so 5 in total. When that friend pays for a plan, you get 1 month free, up to 6 times a year. If the friend's payment is fully refunded, the reward is withdrawn.

Does this replace tuition?

No. It's a practice tool to build familiarity and confidence between lessons, not a replacement for a teacher. It doesn't guarantee AL1 or any specific score.
