      Ironically some parents were complaining in the PSLE thread that there were not sufficient practices to deal with the maths paper, particularly a maths question on lamp posts and intervals. This was subsequently debunked as similar questions were found in past prelim/psle papers. These practices would likely be done in the supplementary classes and can be beneficial especially to those weaker or without tuition.


      I suppose different folks different strokes, but the classes should be allow to continue, if the parents are not keen, perhaps they should just keep their child away. To be fair, such "free" supplementary classes require much extra burden to the school and the dedication of the conducting teachers.

        I agree with you and I wish parents will STOP complaining - too many practices/extra lessons also complain, too few practices/extra lessons also complain. Really tough on the schools to please all parents. Can't parents accept that not all students are the same - some need/want more n some don't?

          Many found this yearโ€™s PSLE Science paper very tough. Take a look at the PSLE 2016 thread. The questions are not the typical exam questions.

            Tough questions are good for the bell curve. So no need to worry so much.

              If look at 2016 Psle thread, view votes :
              Majority (75%) of votes indicated that of all 4 subjects : Science is the hardest.

              On the surface : Science appear easy, but hard to answer Section B (Open ended)

                The batch of P6 students who had taken PSLE Science exam in 2016 are in fact the last batch taking the old Science syllabus. Next year, 2017, will be the new PSLE Science exam format.

                      Each time when MOE introduce a new change to syllabus of a subject, do u think is easier or more difficult ?

                      Eg
                      Look at the PSLE new format to English

                      Look at the new AL scheme vs. old T-score system
