MOE and school P say all subjects same weightage.


But tutors and experienced PSLE parents seem to think otherwise.

:? :scratchhead: for first-time PSLE parent like me

EL n CL total is still 200%

Incl oral, paper, compo, listening.

LOL


The weight-age for the 4 subjects are the same.

English and Chinese total marks is 200marks for each subject but will be converted to 100%.

P5 briefing last week - we were told that all 4 subjects carry 100%. Equal weightage for all subjects.

EL = 200 marks but 100% only.

[quote=\"hhgold\"]Hi, my dd English score has dropped a lot despite personal tuition.

She lost a quite a lot of marks in cloze passagae, open comprehension and synthesis and transformation. It's hardly a few months to catch-up.
Any suggestions?

For Synthesis and Transformation, I can swear by The Alternative Story's Synthesis and Transformation practice book. You can ask your DD to do all the exercises and then do again those your DD made mistake AT LEAST twice. DS did the whole book 3 times (1 time the whole book and twice on those he made mistakes) within 2 weeks during school days so I believe your DD should have time.

The book has all the difficult/tricky questions. In my opinion, it is better than other books 'cos other books may contain easy questions that are too repetitive (boring).

For cloze passage, we tried many ways last year but DS only improved after he reads The Straits Times daily. He read 1 article from Home section everyday during his breakfast. He chose the articles himself.

Just my 2-cents.

Hi, ngl2010 - is that the above book? Sorry, unable to upload the picture so only able to show a small picture here. :imsorry:

:thankyou:[/quote]Yes. That is the book.

Weight-age for the 4 subjects are the same. However, after the bell curve is applied to all 4 subjects, 1 mark in languages worth more than 1 mark in Maths or Science.
