with every change, we don't know what to expect. when the english exam format changed, it was worrying too. my daughter is the 2nd batch. we can't do anything...just have to follow

Actually not that much of an overhaul. Only oral and compo changed.
dd2 is still able to use dd1's old syllabus English notes

Comprehension was a major overhaul. For Open-Ended, new question forms were introduced such as tables, sequencing and true/false; and the Visual Text with a double-spread.

Oh I didn't realise. dd2 said her p6 compre format is pretty much the same as dd1's p6 compre 2 year ago. At least no significant difference in format as far as she could recall. Maybe only for gep paper :scratchhead: That was some months ago in May. She could still make reference to her sister's old syllabus English notes

For prelim she said format is different. They did a lot of practice papers in class so they are familiar with the new format as well. Have to prepare for psle

I just went to ask her like a minute ago. This mummy 后知后觉

GEP and non-GEP sit the same PSLE.

Afraid I do not read Chinese.

It is good to speak to daughters, but one should take what they say with a pinch of salt.

I believe I was trying to be humorous. Hopefully, light-hearted humour is not off-topic.

Hi, if I may share my experience... It is true tt GEP uses their own EL materials from P4 to P6 mid-year. They only begin to adhere to PSLE formats from P6 mid-year onwards. Likewise, my dc, who was e pioneer batch for the new EL paper 2 format, never practised it until a few months prior to PSLE. To them (& me), the new format is really much easier than their daily work. As for papers 1 & 3, they tend to study the new formats way ahead of their non-GEP peers.[/quote]Hi sky minecrafter.
Thanks, that's very interesting and provides context.

Do you think that GEPers use their own materials till mid-year because they are focused on preparation for DSA tests? Once the DSA tests are over, they then switch to focus on the PSLE format?

:thankyou:
For a moment I thought I'm supposed to believe that I don't have any sense of humor
because I did not take my dd's words with a pinch of salt

If I try to be humorous and fail, then the fault is entirely mine, not yours. No need for sarcasm.
