2019 is really turning out to be a tough year.Lets just hope that Science and Mother Tongue are easier than English and Math...

I doubt so... The papers have been relatively easy for a few years now, so I would be inclined to think all the papers for this year are hard...? Hope not though... :?:

Hi parents, does anyone knows if the child is taking foundation Chinese at PSLE and manage to get into express steam in secondary, will the child be taking standard Chinese or foundation Chinese in secondary? Do all secondary School have foundation Chinese? Also can we still apply for Chinese exemption again in Secondary school even though application was rejected in primary school? Many Thanks

The student will likely be taking MTL 'B' Syllabus. Not all schools offer it.

From MOE:
MTL ‘B’ syllabus may be offered from Secondary 1. Students with Grade C and below in MTL at PSLE will be allowed to take MTL ‘B’.
Those with learning disabilities, e.g. dyslexia, ADHD, autism and hearing impairment, will also be considered. Students with severe disabilities will be exempted totally from the MTL requirement.
Secondary schools have the flexibility to allow other students to offer MTL ‘B’, taking into consideration the student’s performance, language ability and the standard that he can achieve with reasonable effort.
Students who re-enter our education system (e.g. students who return from overseas) and are unable to cope with the MTL syllabus will be considered for the MTL ‘B’ syllabus.

It is 1/3 of ALL admitted to independent schools. So say last yr's ESIS cut-off was 260, so all those who scored 260 and above will get it, regardless of whether they are top 1/3 of RI.

Yes. Only for independent schools. Last year above 260 can get ESIS.

I think my friend's son had 266 last year. Don't think he's eligible for ESIS.

The only explanation is your friend's son not Singaporean or did not apply to Independent School.

Please note not all IP schools are Independent Schools.[/quote]

Hi guys! I know this may be a bit off topic but do any of you know when Supplimentary intake exercise (SIE) will open for registration. I am Keen to participate in it and appeal to a school using my prelim and PSLE results

SIE (Supplementary intake) appeal, for admission into Specialized Secondary schools, start right after you received 2019 PSLE results slip, released very likely on Thursday, 21 Nov 2019


Whoever had given up CO, the seats (vacancies) will be released to interested students who had filled up SIE application form, subjected to an interview by the school.

Once successful via SIE, you will be allocated a seat into that school (SIE), and your name submitted to MOE, hence cannot participate in S1 posting anymore.

But, if unsuccessful for SIE intake, then Yes, proceed to participate in S1 posting, by listing down your 6 choices of Secondary schools, for Moe posting.

SIE application processing will take place first, right after the release of Psle results and the process need to be completed, before any S1 Moe computerised posting can commence using Tscore

last year (2018), there were some students who were given CO / Waitlist by Specialized Sec schools, but turned down CO/WL (for some reason), entered by SIE path instead via Tscore, because don't want to be bound by the DSA contract (term & condition). Of course, they must be mentally prepared to face & answer the Principal during interview : why did they turn down CO / Waitlist dsa in the first place, choose to enter by SIE path instead ?

Thank you chenlaoshi. May I also ask you why in this test paper, ticket price is needed?
Link:
https://www.testpapersfree.com/pdfs/P6_Chinese_SA2_2018_Tao_Nan_Exam_Papers.pdf

Username123, the answer provided isn't very accurate (majority, if not all of these are produced by the company that sold the sch papers).

There is no need to mention that \"the script is adapted based from ... ...\". Also, if they need the student to state relevant fee, they will be clearer in their question. 好朋友 does not definitely means he/she must be a child ($15). If fee is required, they will state detailed information like 你六年级的同学志文 or 你的好朋志文友今年十岁 etc.

For note writing question (4 marks), language is worth 2 marks and content is worth 2 marks.

2019 is really turning out to be a tough year.Lets just hope that Science and Mother Tongue are easier than English and Math...

For Mother tongue, for Malay and Indian students who communicate daily at home with their family members in Malay / Tamil naturally, no issue.

Is us, Chinese students, potato kids who seldom (hardly) speak Mandarin at home, or don't like Chinese, likely to have an issue. But for China students studying in Sg, who speak Mandarin fluently daily at home, no issue lah, they will excel, score A * for Chinese

For Science,
since both Maths and English had already set the 2019 \"tough\" trend, likely to follow suit, this Tuesday (1 October), 8.15 am to 10 am (1 hr, 45 min duration)
