for my daughter, a pass is really an achievement. at the moment, i am still waiting for Math result....what i do know is the non calculator section is a pass but problem sums :nailbite:
Likewise here Janet. I am happy that dd passed her Paper 1, now waiting for Paper 2 Problem Sums Section.
Pray that she passes that Section too. When I asked her how she feels about Paper 2, she said that she knows how to tackle 2 sums and the rest, she muddled through it. :scared:

Disappointed with DS SA1 results but I still smile, praised him for working hard for his exams and encouraged him to continue to work hard. The bad (or good thing) is all those marks deducted are all attributable to careless, so no A* for this exams at all. Less than 5 months to go and I am really at wits ends how to reduce his carelessness… Sigh…

Setting easy papers may lead to overconfidence...but tough papers may not necessarily serve its purpose. Kids get demoralized and unhappy when parents want to revise and drill for PSLE. There is also prelims in August.
They find that no matter how hard they work...how much effort they put in, the papers are difficult.
We don't really have a say as to how our DC's schools set the exam papers. I would assume that exam papers are set not to purposely fail the students....but to test the students abilities and knowledge of that subject. I would think that Schools will set some easy qiestions and some moderate ones. Plus some difficult questions to sieve out the better stidents.... -
In P6 CA1 is tough then SA1 gets tougher and prelims worse from my past experience. Really puts in a lot of pressure for both parents and kids.

No worries, if Prelims is the worst, then PSLE is easy peasy.

she did quite ok for the non calculator section and i'm honestly very happy. but if the problem sum section is very tough, then i am sure she can't pass that paper 2. in any case, i praised her for passing english and science...best part is did away with the science tutor. her science teacher also did a good job drilling them in open ended.janet88:

Mindstretcher is one. They have a Power Up for PSLE for the 4 subjects. Usually a full day session for each subject, ~9.30-4.30pm. I am not sure what goes on in there since I have never tried and will not be signing up for this June either.hi mommies,

Most tuition/enrichment Centres should also have similar PSLE prep Programmes during the June holidays. -

Will it help? Which one is good for science action B? Anyone can share -
I don’t know about you… but I have heard comments from mommies and daddies with older children than our dears born 2004 that their standard is relatively lower especially for math. Have you noticed?
From my dd’s school, it seems to be so. Year after year, looking at the trend of students, it seems like the foundation for this batch of kids is not that strong. Or perhaps the standard is getting higher making them look weaker than previous batches? Hmmm…
