Believe next year to avoid such stress, more n more students n parents will head n try dsa option; surplus of candidates to compete for limited places through dsa. This will be next national challenge in future to secure a place in top schools !!!

DSA is one option.. But a very tiring one -

:snuggles: divert focus to MT and sci. DS is also a careless mistake king. Hope they spotted the careless mistakes while checking the papers. May not be so bad ok? Take careMy DD does not aim for top school and her only strength is Maths. She cant write a good composition as others as she is not so creative and her oral is poor because she seldom speak most of the time.
Now i need to lower down her expectation and put my finger cross if the result is worse than i thought.
I am not able to sleep well for the past two days. I know i should put it aside but cant.

If this year PSLE is easy then what’s next in term of secondary schools posting? More pupils will be hopeful to enter top schools thinking that their results are good enough. However, the places in each school are definite. Schools can’t increase the places just because more pupils qualify based on better results. As an illustration, the schools will still set the COP with the objective of taking in top 5%, top 10% etc of the cohort. If this is the case, will the easy PSLE papers cause more disappointment in the end?

Every school is a 'good' school. Thats what they are trying to convey, i guessJovialcho:
So those avg students will have fair chance n competition for top schools; once high achievers too confident n made some careless, bump n down it goes. So better make sure no unforgivable n careless mistakes n avoid at all costs!!!
I guess that is the govt way of ensuring average students have a chance to the top schools and that top students are distributed to neighborhood schools -

The competition will be so great...it might be overwhelming. I can see why the wide banding in future helps... -
Hope in future all mp n top leaders set good example to encourage their children to expand entering other good schools other than famous top 4 …

How is this possible? If average students meet the COP of top schools wouldn't it mean the top students also qualify for the top schools? So in this case if both apply to the top schools who do you think the system will decide which student is going to top school?Jovialcho:

IMO yes. And there might even be balloting & we will have more appeals cos we all hit the COP, why u can get in I can't??
