2020 PSLE Discussions and Strategies(for those born in 2008)

[sky minecrafter]

Hi there,


I agree with MIG's post @Fri Mar 13, 2020 11:14 am

Great sharing from phtthp - your school teachers are most endearing!!

@MP. https://www.lilbutmightyenglish.com/comprehension. Consider signing up their workshops (online or classroom). As for Maths, give your child self-confidence - that for the questions she can do, she should aim to score well (no transfer, calculation errors); for those which she cannot, she can try to annotate and work with the numbers given in the questions, but do not feel disheartened. It is still early in the year, there is ample time, pace yourself.

After reading the \"Student’s mother writes in to question the Education minister on why the PSLE has to be so difficult\". I am really getting very worried.

Already he is a slow learner. And his nonchalant attitude also a big problem. And to think PSLE is just next year.

He is already very busy this year with lots of supplementary and tuition. I cannot imagine there is still quite a lot of new topics to be taught next year. For his standard, he will take a long time to understand.

THere is only so much i can do. Sigh

Hi xueyan,

I hear you, can feel your concern for your son.
Anyway, do not worry too much at this point, as there is still ample time (one year, away).


Pattern, fall under “Heuristics”

For a start, may download past-year-papers.
Inside contain “Pattern” questions, can let your son practise.
It is good to start early. The earlier start the better, so that with sufficient (ample) time, by the time your son reaches next year 2020 September, he is familiar with “Pattern” and would have mastered “Pattern” concept, by then.

below are sample “Pattern” questions, found in various primary schools (past year papers).
They are by no means, exhaustive.
Thus, if you happen to find other schools on your own initiative (eg. from the most recent 2019 Prelim papers) , please add it on to your own list, as well.

All the very best, to your son's coming 2019 P5 SA2

Mrkatong,

we would like to clarify the info, you posted
May we know, where is your source of information from, regarding median, for each Secondary school, that you placed under http://www.thewackyduo.com ?

BECAUSE

MOE website did NOT supply 201nine PSLEcohort median for 2020 Sec 1 intake, for any of the Secondary schools in Singapore

example

refer RGS

what do we see ?

saw 261 to 282
ie. the COP and the highest T-score.
Do we see any Median, provided by MOE, for RGS ? No

Hello parents!


I'm interested in making a website about Chinese (model?) compositions. However, that's still in the works.

May I request for some of you to send me some composition pictures or topics that your child received (and didn't score so well in)? I'll reply back with my own composition, along with some good phrases your child could use. [FREE, of course!]

My email is [email protected]
(Hope to receive many emails from you!)
