Must be all band 1 for these 3 other subjects. I have seen a boy having 203 for all foundation subjects. But like very rare. Most qualify for NA.

teacher explained to me that even if band 1 for foundation subjects, the grades are still lower than standard in terms of difficulty level of the exam.

Definitely lower in standard than standard subjects. However, it’s possible that foundation students qualify for express. The worry is not whether the students can qualify for express. But rather, are they able to cope when they get to sec school, considering they have missed out considerably what has been covered in P5 and p6 standard subjects. Really need parents who have seen their child gone through it, to share their experience.

it's still possible to qualify for express, but like you mentioned it's the bulk missed out if taking foundation science when they go to the express stream. this holiday, i'm working on her MCQ.

It's 1 month before the new school term begins...PSLE

Bought daughter's books online but collection can only be done in 2 weeks time.

When I think of 2016, I am starting to :nailbite: having 2 kids facing major exams.

Janet88, I dread to think of it as well. DS is still in Lalaland, sigh really a case of 皇帝不急，太监急 (Simple translation for the benefit of some: Eunuch is more anxious than the Emperor for state matters)。 Anyway, let's us all have confidence in our little ones and support them along the way!

Hi all, understand that many of you are worried for your child's PSLE. For math, you just have to do more practices and attempt more past year papers as well as consult more textbooks/workbooks. The method was or me was to resort to the solutions in the workbooks, and refer to the bar model solutions if i am unclear. I believe this will benefit the PSLE-takers greatly. I took my PSLE in 2011, and was very worried for the math paper. In my honest opinion, Aden Gan's \"Upper Primary Math Models Methods, Techniques and Strategies\" works best. It is a textbook and workbook in one. Very detailed and simple to understand. Hard to find in popular nowadays. I still have the book now. Selling on carousell, $10. Have a nice day. :rahrah: :rahrah: :rahrah:
