I think if our child feels the same as the majority about the difficulty of the papers, then results should be ok bah? (majority means mean or median)....


I think my child is more concerned about departing the P6 class......they have been together for 3 years and it's gonna be a bitter-sweet experience on P6 graduation day next week.

For me, get into EXPRESS can liao....

Yes, the concerns and anxieties of a parent and child who has a DSA CO in hand are quite different from the rest who don't.

That's true .... Also mostly b/c dd was ill 3 out of 5 exams during psle......I was most glad the DSA offer came in handy in periods like this and I thought it (sickness) wouldn't happen to her. She was the only one who was sick and had to be kept separate from the rest of the folks during those 3 days.

My DS Sci tutor cautioned him during his prelims that PSLE would not be easy coz those who got into IP for the last 3 years(probably due to easier papers translated to higher t-score) were struggling in the program..So probably MOE tried to set things back to \"normal\"mode... That's why the more challenging paper :frustrated:

It's really interesting the tutor would say that. Those who get into IP are the top 10% of the cohort and this is in spite of whether the papers are difficult or hard. PSLE as it stands pits the P6 students against each other. So easy papers may mean lowering and crowding of T-scores but I doubt it makes it easier for students to make it into IP.

From past PSLE exams, the biggest T-scores seem to come when there are harder papers and not the other way around. As papers get harder, the gaps between, the best/better/average and so on widen. So with the current way PSLE T-score is calculated, tough papers would likely tend to be in the favour of the very best students.

Can I know what time normally will the school gives the result slip to the children on PSLE results release day? In the morning or afternoon?


Wondering whether to take half day or full day leave?

My daughter was told to be at school before 11am so not sure what that means!

:yikes: your girl has already been informed of the time to be in school? Now just short of the date.
I remember the last time when son collected his, it was assemble at 1130 in the hall and then students to proceed to their respective classrooms to collect their results.

My dd has also been informed by her school to report at 11a.m that day. A few other schools too.

Best to take full day - no rush and also to gather yr emotions - whether to celebrate or just stay at home n avoid all the Kapo colleagues.

take a full day leave...celebrate with the child instead of rushing back to the office.

All the best to students and parents receiving PSLE results next week.

Think better to take 1 day leave. Half day seems neither here nor there if results are going to be released from 11am onwards.
