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

[Iluvmygals]

Science MCQ…sometimes having too many choices may confuse the kids. So I taught my kids to eliminate 2 obviously wrong answer first and then focus on the remainder 2. Then u have a 50% chance of getting it right.


Some questions are pretty easy to eliminate the 2 wrong answer - example…when a range of readings is given in the 4 choices…the highest or the lowest reading is probably the right answer…the 2 readings in between can eliminate.

With the current Covid-19, I wonder how students will prepare/ do for their psle.

hopefully,

SEAB will set easier PSLE papers for these 2008 born, last batch of Tscore P6 students, in view of covid-19 that had caused disruption and created stressful, challenging situation

Usually the PSLE trend is one year difficult, next year easier

Well this is indeed a challenging year. I am not sure how effective is the e-learning and parents even have to pay the full tuition fee. Only HCL make it optional that if the child is joining the e-learning, it will be charged 50% of the regular tuition fee. This is more reasonable.

Hope the exam can be postpone a bit- give sch teachers n students more time to teach n learn

This whole wave covid is impactful to whole world & may last longer than we think previously- probably after June/july then will see improvment. :?

I hope so. If that is the case, will T-Score be low, as the standard deviation may be much higher?

[WhiteFox]

Personally I feel its best to scrap off T-score although I know it won’t ever happen.


I disagree on the “if this year psle is easy, next year will be tough. Alternate”. Actually it depends on individual capability and mindset. Last year (2019) it was deemed as the hardest psle but afew of my friend’s child said otherwise - That it was manageable. I remember 2016 parents were saying the same thing, tough papers.

Some I know didn’t do well for psle but when the kids step into secondary school, they done so well. As for my elder son, he said, “Its just a psle. What was taught in primary school is not relevant now.” 😂
He’s in sec 2.

...What was taught in primary school is not relevant now...

It is only partially true.

What was taught in primary school are the building blocks and foundation to what they will learn in secondary school. Therefore, can't say it's not relevant. However, it's true that your scores, results, etc for primary school are now forgotten and you are given a new chance to start afresh.
