Like Stephen Covey says... Seek first to understand.... Yes! Understand why your child did not perform well for his SA1. At this age of 12 years, this child may not know what is before him. He may not know the grave consequences if he does not do well for PSLE.
Help him by achieving little successes. Help him see studying as fun and enjoyable. Find a tuition teacher who is able to shower praises whenever he improves, or make learning fun and easy to understand.
Get him enrolled in some programs so that he will like to learn more, because his mindset has changed. Do not resort to scolding or nagging or even comparing with his siblings or friends who have done better.... it does not help.
Put yourself in your child's shoes... be a supportive parent!
