Err... if they thinking of using the right / wrong to guesstimate how well the child did, they are doing it all wrong.
I have friends whose kids received CO fr schools who are discussing non stop on answers not because they wanna prove anything. More becos they wanna know how their kids did so that they can think about accepting or rejecting the CO.
This year is still operating in a t-score environment. If your answer is wrong, and 90% of the folks are going to end up wrong with you (which unfortunately, a random sampling of a small number of folks / parents are not going to be meaningful in telling), you will actually do ok due to the mean, SD and all that jazz. -

Yah.. tried explaining to them about the bell curve effect. I guess ultimately they still wanna enter the schools without any DSA commitments if possible. I wouldn't say that they have no concerns about accepting the CO. Cos some DSA commitments can be quite tiring.

Anyway, just look forward to the next two papers. As predicted by my DD, it's going to be tough based on her observation from the Eng and Math papers. Hahaha. She's not giving up though. Instead she is going to work harder so that she will not fare too badly.
Jia you everyone!! -

Thanks Sembgal and LeeTaiTai for sharing. I must admit that my gal is one of the kids seen crying for 2 consecutive days after the written papers. I tried encouraging her, it didn’t work, she said I am running away from reality. So I told her there is nothing much she can do since the paper is over and she said I was too blunt. That prob causes me not knowing what to say when she asked me on how to revise for Science. I hope with the advice shared with me would help reassure her. Really appreciate the advice given. Big thanks!

I hope what I'm going to say will help. My elder child is in 1 of the top jc. She said her classmate, who is brilliant, is from a neighbourhood sec school. She feels he is the most brilliant student in her class, beating the IP students who probably did very well at psle. Perhaps you can tell your child even if this exam she doesn't get her desired outcome, she can still work hard to get into her dream JC/poly and excel there. Many (incl my child's classmate) stumbled at PSLE but went on to achieve great things later on.
