      Hello parents!


      I'm one of the students from PSLE batch 2015 and I was hoping if any of you adults could clear some of my unfazed queries regarding the new PSLE system that will be introduced for the first time this year.

      I swiveled through articles in the net but I've yet to come to any with detailed information at all, other than basic ideas. I do know that this system is as fair as Buddha's teachings unlike the past where our true potentials are shadowed by competition. However, I'm quite impatient and at least want to know if I'm even eligible to past.

      Frankly, I do not hold the average Singaporean intelligence most of my peers seems to have. Yeah, maybe somewhat powerful in English and Foundation Mathematics compare to others, otherwise if it wasn't for my father's appreciative and encouraging gestures, I get kill for getting a 58 for Science. So honestly I'd be proud for getting something above 140. Roughly this are most likely scores for my PSLE:

      English: 85
      Foundation Math: 85
      Foundation Chinese: 55
      Science: 45 (Let's say I might've saw an oval unshaded on the last second and only quarter of the OAS sheet were rectified)

      Straight up: this year's change of the PSLE's papers format was the intensity, definitely significantly easier. I'm almost positive I could pass briskly with an aggegerate I'd consider 'high' if it wasn't for the change of moods after the last paper; Science. However I won't let that indulge my conviction to pass, but I'm still curious. So will I be able t pass? What's my rough score?

          Dear Un-Kiasu,


          In my opinion, the PSLE system has been tweaked such that majority of the students will not be "killed", while those with high IQ or "street-smart" will have higher scores. The papers are generally easy to pass, save for 1 or 2 difficult sections whereby IQ would be the differentiating factor.

          Looking at your post, I am rather amazed at your intelligence. Don’t worry, I think the new PSLE system will benefit students like you. Meanwhile, enjoy your holidays and do not worry too much!

            Very impressed by your strong writing skill. I think getting 85 for English is probably an understatement given your writing ability. Don't worry. With your strong English, continue to work and expose yourself to language and you will be able to do well in life :boogie:

                  Hi, MyPillow,

                  U can call moe to get this info. Moe only tell u these two numbers, as top 10% will get third language such as Japanese , French and German to choose, below top 10% only can choose Malay, etc. top 3 % is the Moe schoolarship cut of point.
