Fast forward one year, it does not seem to matter as much...in sec, no one really cares about your PSLE scores.

in secondary 1, nobody cares what your psle scores are. it's history.
once orientation is over after a week or 2, teachers will start at 2nd gear. then students will be busy choosing CCAs.

Hi Janet & Cloud Cloud,

Yes, both of you are right.

Everyone starts from same starting point during S1.

Some students from Express stream are promoted to IP after S2, Some students from N(A) and N(T) are promoted to Express and N(A) after S1. Some are demoted after S1 or S2.

I believe the sch already have the results. Usually the principal will present the result in slides to parents in hall if I am not wrong. Like what is the passing % kind. If they didn't get it earlier, how will they be able to prepare for the slides.

The p will go Seab to collect result early morning... by 8:30-9am all level Teachers and hods will be in conference room and waiting for p to come back... the Teachers will be very kanjiong looking thru the Long list of results to see how their kids do.... but very rush.. so also won't rmber anything.... then they will put the results in the PowerPoint slides.... so when u go school at 10:30... Teachers already know their results

I strongly advise parent(s) to accompany their children as they really need mental support.

My DDs' sch announced those students who got 250 or more and they stood up in the hall to receive the cheers they deserved.
All the best to P6 students tomorrow!

Wow 250 above could be a lot of pupils.... to go on stage....

Depends on which primary school.

In some neighbourhood schools, can be single-digit students scored 250 & above, while in other schools, this can be a double-digit number.

Depends on how much effort the P6 subject Teachers in respective schools had chipped in to \"push\" & to motivate their students to work hard, plus the joint collaborative effort coming from parental guidance support & encouragement received at home.

Parents tonight would have some problems going to sleep…honestly what’s done is already done…I remember losing sleep for weeks. Mum told me there is nothing I can do. Still, I had problems sleeping. After knowing results 2moro, there will be one more hurdle - secondary school posting before the entire primary school education is truly over.


I wish you P6s all the best. Go out for a good meal after collecting the results. You deserve it, your child deserves it.

I am very excited and can’t sleep tonight. Just coax my ds to sleep at 10.30pm and promised that I won’t be angry and scold him tomorrow. He will still get his lunch treat or high tea just like the mother and dd from the book by Monica Lim "The good, The bad and the PSLE Trails of an almost Kiasu Mother" he has finished reading. The story is about the mother, a journalist, her son and her daughter with PSLE score of 232. The daughter worked very hard, never let the mother worry about her but in the end she did not reach her goal. The mother didn’t scold her and still be there for her. They went to their favourite café after receiving her results.


He wants me to double confirm that he will not be thrown out of my house if he fails to get above 250. I feel guilty about this. I always thought he will not take it seriously as he seems totally "switched off" the moment I speak.

True enough P6 students need moral support tomorrow. I keep telling my ds it is not the end of the world if he can’t get 250. Give him lots of hugs and pat on his head. I keep repeating to myself he will score well.

Parents, please monitor your child closely for one week and hope that they will not do silly things.

it's not the score that matters...it's the effort. as this is a national exam, the grades will be moderated.
what the kids need to know is whatever score they receive, they will not be afraid to tell their parents.
psle is not the end of the world...there are many more major exams in life. when they step into the secondary school, psle is history.
