I think it depends on how hard your test paper is. Normally from a school w harder test papers, we take 0.73 only. Coming from a school w easy test papers, take a higher 0.75 will give you the range gauge.

Isn't it the other way around?

[phtthp]

Should be the other way round, using p6 prelim (SA2) mainstream papers, not using gep paper, because for prelim : gep students will also be taking mainstream papers, not taking any gep paper



Higher standard, more challenging paper : multiply by 0.75

Lower standard, easier paper : multiply by 0.73

Nothing to do with sa1 (mid year exam, in may) because for

Both Chinese and Science, these 2 subjects, there is still a big difference in the examination scope, between sa1 and Prelim (sa2)

P6 sa1 : normal Chinese only test up to maximum 8 chapters, of your p6 textbook MOE syllabus

However, come Prelim (sa2) -
Normal Chinese test (or examine) primary (3 to 6) MOE syllabus. See the big difference ?

For Science :
Prelim will test more Science topics, compared to sa1

Following prelim, is the actual PSLE.

I meant GEP paper. They should be the same right. How normally GE students multiply their SA1 score?

You can't use the SA1 but GEP students still have to take the year end prelim papers which is the same for all students in the school. That's the score you can use to multiply the 0.72-0.75.

Oh yes that’s right, all the best everyone. June holidays is a good time to do catch up and revision. I think planning ahead to catch up w the full scope (all p3-p6) is better than rushing it all to the end in July/Aug

Hi,

Does anyone have an idea what’s an average SA results in P5/P6 for GEP cohort like? Will be better if there is also information on the 25th % and 75th %. I’m having difficulty gauging where my son is as the school does not share info at the class or cohort level. Thanks.

Hi for this P6 SA1, only know science average is high 80s+ from the teacher. Other subjects never reveal any average, but my own guess for language probably mid 80s+. So my guesstimate for overall average is around 87%.

Hi mummies,


I am new here. Ganjiong spider here. I want to spend the holiday prepping my kid for the upcoming GEP screening test. Anyone who has kids who has gone thru 2018 test? I heard it's 20 vocab mccq, 1 cloze passage and 3 compre passages MCQ style.

Someone told me it used to be 20 vocab mcq, 2 cloze and 2 compre mcq. Got changes now.

Will appreciate if anyone can help point me in the right direction.

Thank you
