Yes but you shouldn’t stress your child to study because of exams but because it’s not a good look to be lazy, oblivious and uninterested in things. Education is about building character and not just for results.

I did not do well for my PSLE, but it did not affect who I am as a person And PSLE is not the end of the world even if my child did not do well

Yes it helps a great deal in evaluating but other things also matter a lot like personality development of child, mental health etc.

Well it is a way to know the extent of a child capabilities and to ensure they are in their right element to excel

Yes, to some extent. I feel that the school, friend circle, goal, etc does play a part in a child's development.

Yes it matters but i feel parents should manage their expectations based on the kids ability

Yes, the choice of secondary school and further tertiary education helps to shape a child

Children should not be put into buckets and their life defined by the age of 12.

To quite an extent.. it shows what my kids need to improve on and learn more

Unfortunately yes Because govt, environment and society calls for it
