[quote=\"jeant\"]Hi joy2,


I am not sure why the tuition teacher said that. She said this when we showed her the science prelim papers after we got it back from the school.

She mentioned that the questions set were not really focusing on what the usual psle papers will have. No \"2 in 1\" questions too.

I am not very sure of how an exam paper will usually set as. I normally purchase, revise and discuss past year exam papers with my DDs as well as sending them for tuition, so that they can catch up with their studies.

I am a Maths tutor and i can understand what your tutor is saying. It goes the same for Maths PSLE papers. The 5 marks questions are always in 2 parts, like part a is 2 marks and part b is 3 marks for PSLE Math paper. There is never a question in PSLE Maths paper that just set it as 5 marks but a lot of top schools like to set 1 or 2 question in Paper 2 solely 5 marks question. It puzzles me too.
So normally i will let my students do PSLE papers than top school papers starting from January once i can buy it from Popular bookstore. For Maths PSLE papers, it is always sold out by June of the year so grab a copy asap if you want. Actually school will ask the students to buy a copy from school's bookshop but their teacher only ask them to do from July onwards.

smileplease, are the psle papers u referring to those EPH booklets that school request students to purchase at the beginning of the year? or it another set of papers?[/quote]Yes, you can buy 2016-2018 PSLE Maths from January 2019 onwards at Popular bookstore, this is the same as the ones that school teacher ask them to buy.
If you want child to start doing it from january, please take note that you have to omit the questions that is related to P6 topics if it is not taught yet.
For 2016 PSLE Maths paper, please cross out Q20 of paper 1, this is about tessellation which not in their syllabus anymore.

Hi parents


For chinese picture composition, how so will it be considered out of point? My son told me about today’s topic and instead of writing about how the wallet was returned to the girl who lost it, he wrote that while she was searching for her wallet frantically while queuing for food, her friends came over and asked her what happened. When she told them she could not find her wallet, they all went back to the basketball court to look for it but to no avail. In the end, her friends bought her dinner instead and she regretted for being so careless and reminded herself to be more cautious in future. Will his story be considered out of point totally? He said no where in the picture showed that someone had intention of returning the wallet to her though the boy queuing behind her with the father was holding a wallet but there was no gesture from the boy indicating that he was trying help or return anything to her. He assumed the boy was queuing to buy food as well with his own wallet. But he told me most wrote the wallet was returned to her. ;(

Hmm the last picture is a question mark so I presumed most will thought of 拾金不昧 and ended the story by saying the boy came along to return the wallet to the girl.


Anyway don’t think it’s out of point for your boy’s compo. It’s just another ending which differs from the rest.

Have to see the picture then can judge. As long as the content looks like the picture it's fine. At most 降一级minus 4 points won't be out of point.

[aSecStudentFrom2019]

The picture actually showed the boy holding the exact same wallet the girl had lost. And when the girl dropped the wallet, the boy was just right behind.

If the theme is 粗心大意， it’s okay not to return the wallet and have a different ending. If the theme is 路不拾遗/拾金不昧, then marks will most likely be deducted under the content category.
