      Like Zeng, I choose to see see this as an encouragement to students. In our own family, my hubby was one of those who was a late bloomer. Yes it may be rare but it happens and it should be highlighted to give hope to the late bloomers among our children.


      Somehow I realise that over the years many of us have been taught to view things critically/suspiciously rather than positively. I don’t know if it is the education system or the upbringing. But we must try and move towards a more positive way of looking at things. I believe this young man is going to be a great doc someday.

        For every 1 of this 181 pointer going to medicine school, wonder how many have gone to other much much less lucrative paths?
        What is the point of highlighting the $10m toto winner, when the rest of Singapore just lost $10m or more to Singapore pool??

        While it is aspiring and plausible, indeed, how many can really achieve this? Readers have to discern, be realistic and understand their own limitations and hope parents don't use this example to set overly high expectations for their kids.
        Just weeks ago, I read an article in ST about how private universities' graduates fall much behind their peers from public universities and whether the former know about their job prospects plus some other discouraging comments.
        Now another reporter from the same company is encouraging everyone to boldly pursue their dreams....sigh!!

        Conclusion: Everyone is entitled to his own opinion and his opinion will be greatly affected by his personal experiences in life.

                  both my kids used pencil for psle maths.
                  they are now in sec 2 and sec 4.
                  i ever asked their maths teacher then, she said ok. I'm not sure now got change. both my kids got A* for maths. so i don't think got penalised for using pencil.

                    My DC1 did his PSLE last year 2018. DC1 used pencil for both Maths and Science and score A*. So I suppose no penalised. We proceeded with this after confirmation from 2 ex-PSLE markers for Maths and Science Teachers.

                    Hope this helps

                      Could I know which top school prelim paper should I get ds to work on? There are so many and I doubt he can finish all by PSLE. Thank you.

                      For Maths, I normally recommend Nanyang School.

                      All the best for the PSLE.

                      Cheers

                      Yes agreed. Nanyang testpapers seems to be tougher when compared.
