2016 PSLE Discussions (Born in 2004)

[SpartanMum]

Janet - sincerely hope your DD makes it to her school of choice. All the best to your girl and all the 2004 kiddos!


Just had a peek at the DSA thread - feel for all the DSA mummies and daddies out there anxiously awaiting the shortlists. And then after the shortlists, another round of anxiously awaiting the results. All the best to you guys too - remember, just becos your DC does not get in via DSA doesn’t mean he or she is not worthy of that school. Sadly, DSA (as it currently stands) is mostly about whom the school thinks is most likely to win the most accolades for them. So, put it behind you and move right on. We’ve got important things like PSLE to worry about!

BESTEST OF LUCK! May all the DCs dreams come true!

Hi

Is there any means to get any materials online to practice listening comprehension.
My Daughter start to loose many marks in this. I think this should be easy to score
Appreciate ur inputs . Need for both english and Mother tongue(Tamil)

Can anyone kindly advise what is the weightage for each subject to determine the T-score? Do EL and MT have higher weightage than Math and Science? And for those who are exempted from MT, how is it calculated?

regarding calculation of scores for those exempted from MT, only MOE would know how to compute. the principal said that during daughter's p6 briefing.

prelim dates just released...starting with prelim oral end of this month.

All subjects have equal weightage.

My niece is exempted from MT. My sister was told by the school teacher that it will be based on the average of the 3 other subjects to compute the PSLE score.

The onus should not be on knowing how the T-score is calculated, and then try to strategise around that.
Students, being at such a young age, should uphold values on doing their best instead.
