Don't just look at your child's results, also look at his cohort's performance. Is his marks above median?
Is the paper set at a higher standard?

Well I'm just saying, no hard feelings but 1. Look at the highest too, there's a chance only a few did well, and the others did poorly, I believe this was the case for last year's PSLE. Although many did badly so \"It is fine\", you may need to think about why there are people who can do well - Maybe the topic was confusing so many(including your child) did not understand? You know, those kinds of things. Btw, it is very common to drop, and chances are, it is not gonna go back to when they were in P4(unlike what others have said). Just look at the grade itself, if it is the same, then you PROBABLY do not need to worry as much.

Generally, what is considered a good score in P4 and P5? I assume P5 and P6 should be about the same, should not have drastic change.

My DD is only P4 and her results dropped a lot in SA1 too. The drop in P4 is almost unheard of so I am also very worried.

P4 to p5 is a big gap as there is subject difficulty. Math and science would be more difficult as syllabus is different from lower/mid primary...teachers also mark stricter to give the kids a feel of PSLE standard. If schools set tough papers, kids will find themselves struggling during p5. For p5, on top of having to face upper block science, the students are also tested lower block as well.

All children's abilities are different. Can't use a score gauge them. Better to see the effort they put in.

Unfortunately that is not how things work in life. I've yet to meet a boss who would tell his employees that it is ok to fail as long as they have done their best...

It's very normal and ok for grades to drop in Pri 5. At the end of the year, it will pick up again.

Just continue to put in consistent efforts n work on the weak topics especially for Maths.
