Dear Mummies,

Can I ask if the child should write on alternate lines for PSLE paper 1?
Thank you...

Yes, my girl’s school teacher insists on that as it is easier for the marker to read, not a requirement though but no harm making it easier on the marker’s eyes.

Any idea if the child will be penalised if correction tape is used?

How to differentiate the 240s n 250s average to your 260, 270 n 280 superacheivers? Have to have the discriminating qs. Everyone cannot qualify for Big 4 school rt? So ofcos expect the 4 or 5 killer or tricky q for every subject.

Which Big 4 schools?[/quote]

It's not prohibited but is discouraged. FriXion pen are not advisable too.

[quote]You are advised not to use correction fluid / tape in the examinations as it may affect the legibility of the answers. There are instances where candidates did not complete their answers after correction fluid / tape had been applied.

Answer scripts with correction fluid / tape may also be damaged when scanned, or the pages may stick together if the correction fluid has not dried.

Without a doubt, it's ranked by the design of the school uniform.

RI should have been ranked poorly TBH... but people are so used to see white on white.

Haha

Why do you think RI should be ranked poorly?

I just don’t get why these are the big 4? Besides the Raffles name, what else is special about the school programmes that are superior to other schools?

HCI and NYGH offer bilingual programmes but I know so many kids who struggle to speak Mandarin in the 2 schools, so they are definitely not interested in the bilingual programmes.
