Haiz. Still feel for my DS on Day 2 Chinese oral. No choice. Have to move on. Still got many papers ahead.


I hope they moderate the scores if they see Day 2 overall scores generally lower. It’s only fair for the entire cohort, especially the ‘unlucky’ Day 2 kids.

I thought no moderation for oral? Or am I wrong?

Well, just saying. We will never know. Just hope Day 2 kids will not be victimized.

The same for last year batch which MT was tougher for Day 2. DD wriggled her way thru.
Day 1 was easier and more to talk. Even her tr commented too.
It turned out to be a blessing that DD did ok.

Not to worry too much. Who knows....it may be moderated.

Incidentally, it was also easier for the Day 1 kids for Chinese oral in 2012! I remember Day 1 was abt a foodcourt and the topic was relatively easy to talk about. Day 2 was about dangerous driving and road safety. Some kids tripped up on the terms of vehicles. I also felt unfair then but life's like that

Hmmm … Reading the above posts, there seem to be a trend that Day 2 oral topic is more difficult!

If there is a visible trend, MOE should review future PSLE oral to standardize the papers. None of other papers has this inconsistency and 'heng suay' factor. It will be a fairer exam if there is no two different set of questions. That said, what's the whole point of having a standardized exam without standardized questions? :frustrated:
