2013 PSLE Discussions and Strategy
-
WorriedParents748:
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
There was a year the top PSLE score was very close to 300.
Was the COP across all schools higher? -
Jennifer:
I do not know.
meaning those whose raw scores make the passing grade of 50 will be deemed failed? -

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.
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. -

Oh dearPlease 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? -
Jennifer:
not sure myself but just hearsay that if too many scorers, papers may b marked v strictly... 鸡蛋挑骨头？LeeAH:
deduct marks for smallest mistakes
what is considered smallest mistakes in Maths? -
Verysuperkiasu:
How did he break his fingers? DS's school forbid them to run but children are still children. They cannot run so they play 'push' :slapshead:Please take care of all your dc over the weekends - watch over their safety even at home. Must remind myself too.

Why do you think Sci paper would be easy like Eng and Math, if I may ask?

play 'push' :slapshead:
I do not allow my children to play push since young.
One of my neighbour (sec sch student) broke his arm bcos he was pushed from behind and landed in the drain.
I remember a tragedy reported in the newspaper, a pupil pushed a classmate over the sch parquet.
OT, but I hv a phobia for pushing. -
by the way, any one knows what would happen if the composition was written in pencil instead of ink?
