2014 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

[lurline]

Yes, was so happy throwing things last night and didn’t realized that the my p4 materials were on the kor kor’ study as well. Realized it when he was looking for his practice paper hw. This shows how messy & disorganized is their room.


Anyway I think it is still in the recycling bin.

I saw slips of paper all over the room :slapshead: really a headache clearing the room. so I made him do it...after I put aside the science titles for younger one. the assessment books which were partially done/new ones, I gave to neighbour. actually I didn't throw away a lot...most were given away...about 4-5 bags.

Waking up this morning, the feeling is totally different as compared to Day 1 of PSLE.

Have a well deserved good break for all P6 kiddos !

That's mean if the papers are easy, the cut-off marks will be raised to 97 (just like last year for Maths paper). If such a case, I prefer to say all papers are tough so that the cut-off marks will be lower down. My lame excuse

[sleepy]

Just to clarify, I keep hearing this psle is the last year of old syllabus.

Old syllabus meaning English syllabus? The rest of the subjects no change in syllabus, right?

I guess, based on the above discussion, if the paper is so tricky, kids' answers are so \"divided\", this paper can considered as \"difficult\".
In any case, the exam is over. I believe that the kids have done their very best under such an extremely stressful condition. They deserved a big big hug. Based on my last year's experience, please fully enjoy these two months before the results are out, where the stress level going up again on sec sch selection.

Well done mummies, well done P6ers.

Hey, I get the same impression too that this is the last year under the old \"syllabus/ system\".

But beyond EL (for some sections), my impression is also the change in grading system?

I've this dilemma as I am trying to determine if there are anything that I should keep for my P3....
