2018 PSLE Discussions & Strategies (Born in 2006)

What are the challenging questions for science paper?

[Bubbly Ang]

This question is so weird. My girl say no detail Nor any information was given. The qn straight away ask “state the temperature”

[Usepaper]

Should be it is a measurement of amount of heat in an object?

My son just wrote it is the amount of heat in an object. The unit is degree.

[Bubbly Ang]

I find this question not structured clearly. The qn just ask “state the temperature”. Kind of like a headless question.

Can we write in pencil for psle in maths paper 2?

[Bubbly Ang]

Preferably in ink. But I have friends kids write in pencil will still be marked on previous years. No worries abt that.

Hi parents! My daughter said that this time the science paper was slightly tough, and she rushed through the questions. There was one qn in the MCQ about the fertiliser in the pond. My daughter put first the amount of light is lesser, then the oxygen level decreases then the plants n fish decrease. But my daughter says that her friends all put an answer diff from her. For those who want to know what the qn is, the qn is about a farmer using fertiliser that would allow the floating plants to grow faster. Then there are a few options like the amount of light, fish decrease, submerged plants decrease, oxygen level decrease, and amount of light decrease. Then they asked for the sequence in which these would happen. Anyone, help? My DD says she already lost 4-6 marks.

Do you think that Cedar Girls cut off point will be lower this year? My DD wants to calculate her PSLE marks if it really happens, so, assuming she gets 90.5 for english, 94 for maths, 83 for chinese and 90 for science, how much do you think she will get for PSLE? Just asking fr opinions.

first of all, amount of light will decrease
secondly,the underwater plants will decrease,
thirdly, dissolved oxygen would be lesser
fourthly fishes will decrease

Sorry to trouble you, but may I ask why? Since there is no light, the plants respire and take in oxygen right? The fish also take in oxygen so shldnt the oxygen levels decrease first?
