      My DS put False, True, Not possible to tell

      Answer:
      a) False
      b) False
      c) True

      what is the correct answer for part (c) ?
      True or Not possible to tell ?[/quote]actually can first assume that the angle is ninety degrees as perpendicular so there will be a right angle. then use the other angles to find out whether it adds up to 180 degrees ( as question says it’s a straight line ). my friend did that and she got 180 degrees in the end so i think it’s true.

        Sorry to interrupt, xiang qing for bian tiao need to write ticket price? If it depends, how do we judge whether or no to write it?

        Student in p6 here... so I think that if you are writing to another person to ask them to go to an event/ place (smth like that) or ask parent to bring to the place/ event (basically asking permission and informing others) and there is an entrance fee then need to write


        If the requirement stated is 活动详情
        - 日期
        - 时间
        - 地点

        If it’s 报名详情
        - 报名日期 and/or 报名截止日期
        - 报名方式 and/or 报名地点
        - 报名费 if any

          I don't think this is possible.
          An A* by definition has to be of a higher score than an A in the same subject.
          Therefore, based on the formula, the A* T-score has to be higher than the A T-score since the average and the standard deviation numbers are exactly the same for the same exam.
          So 4 A* will definitely outscore 4As in the end.
          But maybe the final 3 digit number rounded can theoretically be the same... 260.4 and 259.6 => 260?

          I didnt think so too.
          But then I didn’t think people with psle 22+ 23+ wld be heading to Oxbridge or doing medicine and law too. They are doing that now. Thank goodness unis don’t look at yr PSLE scores nor even the sec sch/JCs you come from : )


          Errrrrr....ofcos the recruiters for ivy league and top unis look at sec/jcs. Apparently when they look at applications for their reaoective unis all may have straight As but RI/ HCI gets seived out first. Told to me first hand n here locally too they definitely look at jcs before you get into uni n job applications especially if you are gunning for law n medicine.

          Clearly they get a headstart on their peers if they are in top schools from sec n JC[/quote]That is if you are from RI/HCI and you can get straight As : ) Not all RI/HCI student gets straight As cuz I know them. They are variously in our local unis in many different courses.
          And not all other JC students score badly too.
          Ivy leagues/top unis look at yr CCA profile, competitions you participate in, yr PS, even yr NS record and ofc yr academic record, not the JC you come from. Basically how much of a changemaker are you.
          Getting straight As is not that difficult for any JC students if they work hard.
          Getting a scintillating profile is the harder part. This is the part that I think Raffles does best in. Hence their higher numbers in the Ivies.
          But if we are not looking at profiles, just the academic record alone, the JCs do not matter.
          There are RI/HCI rejected for Law/Medicine but other JC/poly students getting in. I did not hear it from others but know it from actual students from JC/poly (other than RI/HCI) getting in.

              I think I could have gotten almost everything correct in today’s math paper. Haiz…could have gotten high A*. Aiya never mind, I’ll just settle for a low one

                Yes it is true that if you are rejected for Law/Medicine, you will feel outcast why your peers can get in but you can’t since you came from the top JCs.

                  If you are talking about raw scores - not possible.
                  But you are talking about t-scores - it's possible.

                  Each subject t-score is weighted / compared against the same subject score.
                  Hence... if everyone is scoring A* in the same subject, your subject t-score isn't going to be high.
                  If everyone is scoring B in the subject, while you are getting an A, your subject t-score is going to be much higher.

                  Think the comparison quoted was 4As vs 4A*s.
                  Even if the 4A student scored the highest possible A marks, it wouldn't be possible to outscore the 4A* student scoring the lowest possible A* score for the same subject.

                  Eg 89 v 90 for all 4 subjects[/quote]Hi, not 4A*, it’s 3 A*

                    There are children with AAAA and A*A*A*A scoring the same PSLE score.

                    Errr... this one is mathematically possible meh?

                    Was reading and noticed later why you didnt think it was possible. The above is “4 A” and “3 stars 1 A”.

                      It’s possible for 4A to score higher than 3A* 1A
                      It’s not possible for 4A to score higher than 4A*
