My friend's DD got 3As 1B for PSLE last year.. Her t-score was 244, higher than her friends who got 4As.. She appealed successfully to Crescent Girls' School (COP 245)..

That was a rather high t-score for 3As 1B.. Strange ?

[quote=\"whitecarrotcake\"]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.

[/quote]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.[/quote]



Is meaningless to go on and on to find out the answers when no one has the chance to see the papers again.
Time to move on... Since 2 days after the maths paper n 3 days after eng.
let the kids do their best for the next 2/3 days with positive mind instead of pondering if their ans are right or wrong.

This was revealed by my child's teacher who was last year examiner(marker) early this year.

If English and Math papers are considered easy, the killer paper should be Science. Be prepared for a difficult Science PSLE paper.

Last year, all the 4 or even the higher MT papers were equally manageable ....

Similar trend should continue ....

I could only think of 2 possibilities -

1. either the kids are so smart nowadays that PSLE is no longer a fear

2. or MOE has been told to set more reasonable papers becos of the constant complaints from parents

So its good news for future P6ers.

This is good advice (me speaking from past experience). You cant change anything now n its pointless to make yourself worry n think of the negative.

Rather focus on the last 2 subjects n then ENJOY the last part of childhood before embarking on Sec 1 (a new chapter in education life).

Most like the latter

[janet88]

move on parents…dwelling on answers will be very stressful for the kids. all the best for the next 2 papers and your kids will be done for psle in their lifetime. 加油.
