Hi,

Any idea on how did the 2019 cohort do in Science. Seeing too few a A* in Science (here and there). There were a lot more A* in English and Maths though the papers were considered difficult and a lot of them were stunned after exiting the exam hall.

A lot of them in my DD's class unexpectedly scored A* in English and Maths. Looked the aggregate scores were skewed towards those kids who did well in these 2 subjects.

Any knowledge on this...

This year (2019), A * for Maths :

dropped to 85 or 86,
after adjustment (moderation), to the entire PSLE cohort (thousands of children), with the Pattern questions ?

dun think the Math A* bar was lowered by so much. If 91 is in a relatively easier year, i think this year it is perhaps 88?

Cos we know someone who got A for EL but Writers At Work put down her name as one of those who got distinction. So that explains the long list of distinction on their FB.
