B)2800

I dare not check the other thread but since these answers are post, my dc confirmed that those are his answers too.

Never mind about the stars. Overall aggregate is still more important. Try to make one mistake less (depends on std deviation) in the next paper and he may 'get back' the 2 marks.

That's very wise.

The fact is that MOE cannot have too many children getting too many A*, imagine too many students getting above 270. Before you know it, to get into Cedar Girls need 275

Please take care of all your dc over the weekends - watch over their safety even at home. Must remind myself too.


DD’s classmate broke his finger on his left hand (and he’s left handed) during recess after is paper 1 and he had to miss his paper 2…sad. Wonder if he can retake?

There was a year the top PSLE score was very close to 300.

Was the COP across all schools higher?

meaning those whose raw scores make the passing grade of 50 will be deemed failed?

I do not know.

Thank you for the advice. CL is DS's weakest subject so we can't depend on it. Science is our only hope but it is likely that Science is an easy paper just like English and Maths.
