posted (May 4, 2018)
Today was an exciting day for thousands of Standard 6 students all over Belize because they sat their final two PSE exams, in math and social studies. After it was all over this afternoon we asked a few students how it went:

Interviewee 1
"Well the math was easy but the math two was kind of challenging and the Social Studies was easy."

Sahar Vasquez, reporter
"Do you feel like you were well prepared?"

Interviewee 1
"Yes."

Sahar Vasquez
"How do you feel now that the PSE is over?"

Interviewee 1
"Well, I feel better and I have confidence I will do well."

Sahar Vasquez
"Did you find it challenging?"

Interviewee 2
"Not really."

Sahar Vasquez
"Why not?"

Interviewee 2
"Because my teachers taught me everything that was there so it was kind of easy for us."

Interviewee 3
"It was easy."

Sahar Vasquez
"Why?"

Interviewee 3
"I don't know what to say about it but it was easy to me. My teacher taught us everything that was on it."

Sahar Vasquez
"So your done PSE now what will happen now?"

Interviewee 3
"Now I am going to graduate."

Interviewee 4
"It was easier than expected."

Sahar Vasquez
"What was so easy to you? Was is it because you knew the topics or what?"

Interviewee 4
"Well because I was very familiar with all the topics."

Sahar Vasquez
"And so now you're done the PSE. How do you feel?"

Interviewee 4
"I feel more relieved."

Sahar Vasquez
"How were you feeling this morning going into the PSE?"

Interviewee 5
"I was feeling a bit scared."

Sahar Vasquez
"But how do you feel about the PSE? Do you feel like you did a good job?"

Interviewee 5
"Yes. I feel so relieved."

Interviewee 6
"It was a bit more challenging because Science and English was easier. Math and Social Studies was harder because math you had to problem solve and social studies was about Belize."

Sahar Vasquez
"How do you feel that you are done PSE and you dot have to think about it again?"

Interviewee 6
"I feel good because it is something that is off my back."

Interviewee 7
"Well for me I felt confident in my work it is great to finally get the stress of because of all the studying but I feel good."

Sahar Vasquez
"What was harder the Math or Social Studies?"

Interviewee 7
"Social Studies because I am better at math than I am at social."

Sahar Vasquez
"Now that you are done are you ready to graduate?"

Interviewee 7
"Yes, I am."

Interviewee 8
"The social was really easy and the math was kind of challenging but we got through it."

Interviewee 9
"Well to be honest the math was very difficult because it had many components that we did not really know. I had to put in answers that I thought were the answers because the time was limited and it was kind of hard."

Interviewee 9
"I am feeling quite excited. I want to thank my teachers Mrs. Craig and Mr. Gilharry for preparing us."

We note that the PSE is usually held on a Monday - but, this year, it had to pushed back to a Friday because CXC exams are scheduled for Monday and there would not have been enough classrooms available.

The PSE results are usually released in mid to late June.
