2019 PSLE Discussions and Strategies (Children born in 2007)
-
Ya, my dd also came back telling me that one of her examiners looked like he was dozing off during the Oral Exam. Closing his eyes during the Oral Exam. Her classmates were discussing about it after the exam. But I told her that maybe he was closing his eyes trying to listen / focus on their pronunciation. Give him the benefit of the doubt. I hope I’m right.

Oh no... my gal also replied PSLE/Prelim dates, she will not forget. Examiners never say yearly..just ask what date she will not forget. I feel this question is wide, not related to the topic at all. :([/quote]OH but when my girl first said psle dates, the examiner did say, what about ONE DATE?
Was it the last question for EL?mummyofone\" post_id=\"1929481\" time=\"1565958688\" user_id=\"97320:
[quote=Liamum post_id=1929477 time=1565956614 user_id=180583]Can I ask anyone child encounter whilst the child is speaking, before the child finish what she want to says, the examiner sudden repeat the question? As a result, my child was scared and stop answering..
Same thing happened. Don't know. Question unclear. Talk about date you always remember.
Then said, what about a date, just one date.
They were looking for a yearly thing. Not like, oh I remember the psle dates. -

Don't think he was sleeping, I hope not.

They can get into trouble if any parent reports this 😬
But yes I think a few pages back another post also said examiner dozed off.
Even they don't find the topic interesting.
If topic doesn't lend itself to interesting points being brought up, how on earth to score?
Setting the children up to score low. Compared to talking about a book they are reading or have read. -
All this asking about one date, why is it even important to the EL Oral? To test p6 student forgetfulness if they remember anything or what ?
What if student really can’t remember any date at all, dont know how to answer ? Get zero score, for this qn, penalized for not bring able to recall / remember any single date ?
Why so weird suddenly ask for date, in EL Oral?
1st time come across psle eng oral, asking for dates, or is it a new psle starting trend, involving number games in English oral ? This is a language exam, not some Maths number national exam
Any EL Oral examiner or invigilator here, can help to answer: will the child get zero mark, if child can’t supply any date at all ? -
It doesn’t have to be the number in the date… They want a yearly affair so birthday, mothers day etc ok
They won’t give zero, prob just prompt further.
But again, what other date day can a child mention?
National day? Then talk about independence and etc?
But this is a twelve year old child.
Most will say birthday because… -
I don’t think the teacher is looking for a specific date numerically, rather an occasion or an unforgettable day, like birthday, first time to USS, the day I moved to a new house etc this will be how I interpret the question. Even if you anyhow give a specific date, how is the teacher going to penalise you, he/she won’t know if it is true or not.

My dd was not even asked about the date. She told me this question was not asked at all. Forgetfulness is somehow related to the value: responsibility. The conclusion must link back to the topic how you can avoid being forgetful in future, what you can do to remember etc.

But examiner didn't ask how do you ensure you don't forget this important date.

Only, Tell me a date you don't forget.
And done. -
Weird…my son never have this date question asked. He told me the examiner asked him 3 qn and nothing is about date.
