All the best to P6 students!

Last year Science paper quite tough, hopefully this year will be a normal one.. :xedfingers:

usually one of the subjects will be tough.

daughter failed her school prelim last year but i consoled her that prelim exams are usually tougher...when she passed her psle, i was so happy i cried.

it's 3 weeks before psle...time to wind down soon and go easy on the revision. the past 8 months have been mentally and physically exhausting.

ALL THE BEST FOR next week's LC.

Thanks Janet88, do agree it's time to go easy & winding down in order not to be over exhausted.. need to make sure DS in good health & tiptop condition.. no eating too much heaty stuff
I too wish all P6 kids all the best for coming LC & written PSLE.. gambate! :rahrah:

But most of the experienced parents mentioned Prelim is almost same as psle

most schools set challenging prelim exams. it really depends.
psle cannot be that difficult because it is a nation wide exam.

Yeah, I do agree most schools set more challenging prelim exams & it's quite demoralizing for the students.

this year sci paper is 56 for MCQ, 44 for OEQ.

Actually sci MCQ also not easy ... when i go thru the qns, always has 2 answer almost the same. and need to check guide book to confirm :?

MCQ reduced to 56 this year? it's likely to reduce to 50/50 because that's what daughter's teacher told the class last year. so this year's batch still get to enjoy a little.
MCQ isn't easy but it's definitely easier to score compared to open ended. it's so hard to get 1 mark from an open ended question.

Yeah, not easy to score the SCI MCQ as always will have a few questions tricky and dunno which answer to choose.
And booklet B open ended questions, always very confusing on how to answer the key word correctly.. left only 3 weeks, how to further prepare DS to do better in his SCI paper? His Sci prelim result is not so good

Oh, just checked & received rejection email as well. Oh well, at least a closure & time to move on to focus on PSLE.

To all the other parents, all the best to your DC!

[quote=\"ckhoo5\"]Hi Lhh21, guess we just have to wait for another 1-2 weeks to know, DS is not a gold or platinum award winner either, he got silver in NMOS & distinction in the RIPMWC, not sure if he stands any chance or not since did not receive any e-mail for interview..

I also have similar feeling like you ckh005. DS has Mathlympics silver, NMOS Bronze, distinction in the RIPMWC, Prefect for last four years. He has not received interview. Let us wait and see. I guess if the CO-without interview students are about 80, not all can have Gold and Platinum.

Thanks

My DS also not called for interview. I am aware of students who only have Bronze in NMOS and are accepted without interview. I believe it has to do mainly with performance in test and camp. I have this sense that Science plays a more important part since the camp test mainly Science concepts. How did your child find the camp? Cross fingers and hope for best. :xedfingers:[/quote]Hi Musings
DS mentioned the camp was fun, and Physics is the hardest.

Hi dagong99

Thanks for the information, hopefully they will be able to let us know the outcome by next week before 4 Aug.
The waiting games really makes me :nailbite:
This is the only school DS keen for DSA, really hope he can make it through..

Wow :congrats: , indeed it is good they can inform earlier else very torturing for us parents to wait and wait and wait
