My DD's version of the qn
There are 60 apples and 75 pears. There are equal number of apples and pears in each bag. How many apples are there in each bag if as many bags as possible are used?
What's equal number of apples and pears in each bag? How does one interpret it?
So that's why among her gep friends, it's an even split between answers 4 apples and 5 apples. There is also a more or less an even split among her mainstreamer friends.
15 bags - 4 apples and 5 pears ineach bag
27 bags - 5 fruits (5 apples or 5 pears) in each bag -- does not make sense. To put in as many as possible bags, it can be 1 fruit (or even 3 fruits) per bag.
So correct answer should be 4 apples.
Yep you got a point there, kangkangteo. My dd chose 4 apples but she was asking if she had misread the equal number of apples and pears as many of her friends wrote 5. -

Do you think my DS is safe with 94? -
This was revealed by my child's teacher who was last year examiner(marker) early this year.
This year..... Around there? ( a big question mark as I also want to know) :boogie: -
Subject grade is based on raw score, regardless how difficult or easy the paper is. So for example >90 and >180 are A* for maths/science and english/chinese respectively and this is the same every year.
Quote from MOE website:
"Subject grades, viz. A*, A, B and so on indicate the level of achievement of a pupil in a subject, i.e. how well a pupil has mastered the knowledge and skills required for the subject. These are assigned on the basis of raw scores"
A child’s score is compared with the national average and computed into the T-score for that subject. The sum of the T-scores (which do not have a grade) of the 4 subject will be the PSLE score. There is no maximum score for T-score.
A child with impressive subject grades (eg 3A* and 1A) could have a lower T-score than another with a less impressive subject grades (eg 3A and 1 A*).
I don’t meant to be rude but this has been discussed so many times. Just google for "psle briefing for parents" and you can find many slides that explain the differences between raw and T-score. -
