Yes! Math 2013 was the tough. And 2015 was even tougher.

Is this trend similar to PSLE - one year easy, one year difficult? Was last year's A levels easier?

If following this logic then DS will get tough papers.

[pirated]

So what is after math ?

[jtoh]

My daughter says unlike PSLE, there’s no easy difficult easy trend for A levels.


The trend I’m seeing is our batch of kids get tough PSLE, tough A levels.

aftermath ˈɑːftəmaθ
noun
1. the consequences or after-effects of a significant unpleasant event.

They don't call \"aftermath\" for nothing. :rotflmao:

I follow Augmum and ask dd abt the math paper. She called the setters of this year's H2 math paper \"evil\", \"really evil\". :rotflmao:

During revision her teacher just told the class to look through some stuff that are rather tricky but \"very unlikely to come out in the exams. \" 3/4 of the very-unlikely-to-come-out stuff came out last Thursday. I don't know whether to be happy the teacher \"spotted\" some questions or to :faint:

And she thought the person sitting next to her during exams was crying during the paper, but hope that she was mistaken and that the person was just perhaps having a fever and flu cos the eyes were all red.

And so I wonder if the \"evil\" ones were fr Cambridge or spore? For the moment, I'm glad I switched my next one to IB.

zeemimi, you're funny.

I do hope the girl next to your dd was just having allergies and not crying. I think the very first question was a shock to the students. That can throw some people off.

Erm .... Apparently not a girl. Does that make the situation graver?

Could it be because this batch of kids are smarter?

We know T scores for PSLE matters more than raw marks, but I am still wondering if A Level results/grades are subject to bell curve too.

If there is moderation, then it doesn't matter if the papers are easier or more difficult, right?

I doubt. I hear the batch or two before this batch was very strong.

I understand that there is a curve applied to the grades. Hoping that's the case.
