If it's really the O Levels prelim you may want to consider consoling him or her by telling:
"Cheer up pal, it's only school prelim. I heard the seniors say that prelims are often much more difficult that the actual, you will do much more better in the actual. Maybe we can complete and revise the ten years series together?"
"There's a particular tutor wahh.. after tutoring for only 2 months.. even F9 grade become A1" (make sure there's this tutor :lol

By the way if he or she's using prelim results to join JC classes in Jan.. the first idea dont look too optimistic.
