hi taobaby,
don't mind me saying. won't you be more worried and stressed if the child tells you the paper is tough?

If it was easy, it is likely that paper 2 is tough. Just my thought.

Frankly speaking, I think may or may not, bc the contents & language play a big part on the whole compo's mark. The 'shirt' & 'jersey' is just a word used, which sound better. I reckon the PSLE marker will read the whole compo as a whole. Even if the child able to use 'jersey' but the whole compo had lots of grammar & spelling mistakes, I bet this child will score lower than another child who was able to write beautifullly but only did not write the word 'jersey'.

Another impt thing to note is Compo is a very subjective one. Anyway they will be 2 markers to read the child's compo. So we wouldn't know for sure if it will penalize more or less. At the end of the day, it still depends the 2 markers want to give more or less mark.

So.....don't dwell too much.....

marking will be moderated according to the cohort results. don't worry nor think too much. it will show and the child will lose motivation to go on.
