agreed....once paper is over, I do not wish to know how my child did, I am only interested to know that DD did her best!

DD has been enjoying herself with friends' dates since yesterday!

once the paper is over, there is really no point to discuss the questions and answers.

Totally agree.I was all amazed and equally shocked to see so many questions being discussed here. Once each paper was over, no point talking about it and crying over spilt milk and affecting the concentration of the next paper! I told dd after this PSLE episode, she'd have grown up a bit more and matured a bit more. The PSLE is not all about academic development, more importantly, a journey to getting to know herself more and developing her emotional maturity.

Anyways, well done to all P6s! It is definitely a big milestone and I am sure everyone did great, no matter what the T scores are.

i am planning to celebrate daughter’s 12th birthday which falls on nov 26 and i believe the results would have been released by then.


we don’t know what type of questions the psle exams will have. i was worried sick on the last day of her psle and i will panic towards the few days when the results will be released. i can only hope for the best.
now i must tell myself that psle is her first major exam and there will be more to come. so we should celebrate the effort put in and crossing her first milestone.

There are times when I wondered if life would be better if my kids could score well without much work but then concluded that such a life will probably have it’s difficulties. It’s more important to me that my kids learn no hard work no gain, and that going by it the easy/lazy way may well cost them dear when they are older.


So true to say, whatever the results, celebrate the passing of rites (ie transition to sec school). Good results, bad results, it will all fade in future. Life is too long to get hung up over one exam.

Janet, wishing your dd a very happy birthday in advance!

thanks hquek.

when our kids move on to secondary 1, psle is really a thing of the past because these kids will all start from ground zero. it's hard to tell what results they will get...the important lesson learnt is to put in hard work and not have any 'if only'. my son clearly remembers his psle results...he has matured and now studying hard for his o levels without much nagging...he told his sister before her psle to work very hard so that there will be no 'if only'.

As a first-time \"PSLE mum\" I am totaly stunned that people are actually producing videos about the answers to the exam questions. What's done is done. let's move on. We are just torturing ourselves.

Perhaps such videos are meant for 2017 PSLE parents n students? I am sure they are keen to find out so they can prepare themselves for next year?

2016 parents and students don't need to open the links - just ignore.

Indeed...I accessed the link to look at the questions but I'm not a 2017 PSLE parent.
I'm a 2019 PSLE parent! Yeah yeah....talk about kiasu. lol

What I'm wondering though, is how they managed to get those pictures?
They looked to be genuinely from the PSLE booklet. Did someone sneak a copy out?
Or someone sneaked a camera in?

Question…yes. But the pictures? Like I said, they looked genuine.

I think MindStretcher has the resources to come out with very authentic Picts..

I didn’t bother looking at the Mindstretcher solutions link but I forward to my friends with younger kids.

No more psle for me ever. Yay!

Speak not too soon The future roles of KiasuParents are KiasuGrandParents. Better learn those model drawings and problem sums...
