Regarding 'either zero or 1 mark no 1/2 mark given', it is very confusing as for school prelim, half mark was still given. Right?
but my child's sc teacher (HOD of Science) told us for 1 mark question its either zero or 1 mark no 1/2 mark given so if breakdown of question have alot of 1 marks then it is worst...xn_mummy:
:xedfingers:
hmm..
maybe the breakdown of question make them easier to gain mark ?
:scared: -
yup...
for our practice paper, no 1/2 marks
for prelim paper, given 1/2 marks
finally is over, can rest :xedfingers: -

Looking at how my DD enjoyed herself so much when we allowed her to play console games after she completed her papers yesterday (like a freed bird being released from cage) and how she slept through soundly like a baby, I can only pity her that our education system has taken a toll on her at such a young age. Being my first born, I have a lot of hopes and dreams for her. But reality is different. We must learn how to accept the truth. Every individual is different. Kids have tried their utmost best despite papers were being set tough or tricky. I chose to believe that the system is harsh on them at such young age. Poor kids. Once my European colleague said this to me "I can’t believe you Singaporeans make your kids attend nursery and preschool education at such at young age…where is childhood, where is fun?" Sigh, yes, this is how important Asians value education…
So come the results release day, it will be nerve wrecking for all, including the kids. But being parents, we must continue to give them our moral support and guidance, regardless of how their score is. All they need is assurance, love and care from their mommy and daddy. -

@tigressina I felt exactly the same as you! Because my child is also my firstborn, but like what you mentioned I also choose to believed the system is harsh on them not that they are incapable. They are so smart nowadays even know things that we adults do not know.Looking at how my DD enjoyed herself so much when we allowed her to play console games after she completed her papers yesterday (like a freed bird being released from cage) and how she slept through soundly like a baby, I can only pity her that our education system has taken a toll on her at such a young age.

e.g. this cactus question in Sc P2, how I know why leaves open at night, for goodness sake!! :razz: -
I share the same feeling with you!

My DD shared that this year Science p2 has a lot more questions for them to answer. For every qn, there is a lot more sub section. So if they spent too much time in p1, then may not have time to complete p2.
Yes, DS didn't get to finish one quest in FRQ unfortunately :gloomy:
