One of the GEP schools’ student. The school is well-known to set difficult papers and the papers can be downloaded for practice online.
Can share type of school? I read that its subjective to difficulty of papers as compared to PSLE. Also depends of the child's performance on the actual PSLE, some kids outperform and some may falter.sembgal\" post_id=\"1914228\" time=\"1560348902\" user_id=\"5559:
Just to share a close friend’s son’s PSLE results that I analysed last year.
Mid year 2018
4 subjects Total: 355
0.72 x 355 = 255 (estimated T-score)
Prelim 2018
4 subjects Total: 376
0.72 x 376 = 271 (estimated T-score)
2018 PSLE T-score 271
His 4 subjects were consistent. If any subject is weak, it can pull down overall T-score.
Thus, if your dc is very weak in any particular subject, your dc has to put in a lot of effort in that subject.
However I have another advice. I know someone who excels in English and Maths and doing well in Science but very weak in Chinese. The person improved tremendously for Chinese but overall for other 3 subjects drop. Thus, the moral of this story is not to focus too much on any particular subject but to give equal emphasis on all subjects for PSLE revision.

yes agree..

the results are very good and improved so much from SA1 to prelim..possible that prelim papers set more to psle std and that the boy's school usually set tougher papers?
However, you won't know for sure unless a sample of the other pupils' results who sat in the same SA1 and prelim as him is also presented. If everyone's result shows a similar trend, then that's a likely conclusion (paper was much harder in SA1). If he's the odd one out, it could mean he had worked very hard, improved tremendously between SA1 and prelim, or it could also mean SA1 was an abnormality - and he was off-form on that day. -
What is amazing is the child requested for no tuition after mid year exam and focus on doing his own PSLE revision.

I think SA1 scope is narrower, ie, still very much P6's syllabus whereas Prelim will cover the full PSLE syllabus.

I believe most schools are more forgiving when setting prelims papers and try not to discourage their students. -
Schools are more forgiving? Sure anot? From my experience prelims are always harder because the teachers want to shock their charges into studying
The only difference is when the papers are set by the same person, eg. In universities where the same lecturer deals with the papers. It is possible he/she may want to make the finals more difficult. -
got to get dd to study liao :faint: -
