Well, I Guess it’s not so much about the bell curve, but rather looking at the vulnerable & innocent 12 yrs old kids welfare & mental torture, having to sit for these tough papers , even an adult can’t attempt these questions easily. Their emotions will definitely be dampened & crushed. In addition the fear too taking their first National Exam will get them even more nervous.

Actually for 2019 Maths, those heavy 4 marks or 5 marks questions towards the end of Paper 2, are more \"Maths olympaid\" and Heuristics type of questions set, to differentiate P6 students from getting an A vs. A *
On one hand, someone bound to comment that
Ya lah, every year without fail, sure got a few tough questions bound to set. One forummer ever said that before, if check backwards.
However, on the other hand, in Mainstream schools (non gep) -
Those P6 students who never attend any \"MO\" training before will lose out, because they have never received any training before in MO. MO is offered for upper primary P5 and P6 students, for full solid 2 years in primary schools. In some schools, some even received (started) MO training at P4, means Total, 3 years. Is it any wonder then, that these students will sail (breeze) through this year 2019 Maths, while those who never attend any at all, struggled ?
After all, those of us know that those worksheets from \"My Pals are Here \" are useless, because none of these used in schools, prepare students to fave MO questions.
The logical question then we need to ask SEAB is,
Isn't it unfair to set those 4 and 5 marks \"MO\" questions, when NOT all P6 Mainstream students have the same, equal chance to receive \"in-house\" MO training, because so far, who get to receive free MO training in schools ? They are
A)
- GEP students, because the MO Maths questions are built in, designed already into the GEP (P4 to P6 ) curriculum,
And
B)
- those \"High ability\" Mainstream students, who were selected by their respective primary schools at either end of P3, or P4, to attend \"High ability\" MO free training lessons, in schools
Those P6 Mainstream students, who never receive any chance (opportunity) to smell nor experienced free \"MO\" training, everyday just keep practising those ordinary, not helpful \"My Pals are Here\" series, or keep practising tonnes and mountain high piked up stack and stack of past year papers, is it any wonder then that they are shocked, stoned, taken aback, stunned by these \"MO\" 4 / 5 heavy marks set inside Paper 2 this year, and cried (depressed ) ?
So, question is, why did SEAB set heavy 4 / 5 marks Paper 2 questions, knowing that only a subset of P6 students had received the pri ileged, coveted free MO training in school, while Majority of P6 students did not receive ?
Isn't this very unfair, right from beginning ?
I mean, if want to test funny questions, make it fair -
That ALL p6 students, regardless of whether Gep or Non Gep, high ability or Non high ability Maths students, All habe received free MO training, then Yes, test them all, on EQUAL ground. Then only is this fair and square !!!
Remember, not all kids ability are the same and the government shd take into consideration those average ability kids...[/quote]Just asking, do they really get that demoralised and crushed? Or is it just some? -

dylanmummy2003, for picture composition, they don't give any title or state any theme. Analyzing the pictures to identify the them (审题) is part of the process. No worries, as mentioned in the https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=81235&p=1938525&hilit=level#p1938525, the impact is more on whether student can attain level 1 grading for content rather than being \"penalized\".
theme are not given, how do the kids know what is should the theme be?chenlaoshi\" post_id=\"1938514\" time=\"1569807950\" user_id=\"162894:
Just heard about the picture compo's content.
Main theme: [缺乏] 责任感 (parents went out. sister was using computer and did not realize brother went out with her scooter)
+
sub theme: [没有] 注意个人安全 (younger brother left the house with sister's scooter without informing her)
A little similar to 2017 ones.
my DD did write about Main Theme, but she did not write about sub-theme.
will there be many contents marks lost? -

What is expected for 命题？
My Ds wrote something like he picked up a wallet and in a dilemma to own it but eventually return to the owner .
Somewhere in the compo, you need to justify why your decision turn out to be a right one
- e.g. recalling you were taught about 路不拾遗/城市的可贵 etc. or stating the consequences if that decision was not made/if the opposite decision was made.tryourbest\" post_id=\"1938648\" time=\"1569831708\" user_id=\"176900:
