Thank you very much, TheBee, for kind sharing info.

- Living Together
- Food Chains and Food Webs
- Adaptations
- Man's Impact on his Environment

That's great, fantastic news !
so much lesser to study now, because out of 4 subjects, Science is the heaviest content and the most time consuming subject.
Goody, goody, goody ! Hip, hip, hurray !
A great burden relieved, off the shoulder ! -

Thank you.
These 4 Science topics mentioned are heavy going. If they are removed, will definitely lighten the PSLE preparation work, a lot. Relieved ! A big burden off.
Especially in particular, \"Animal Adaptations\" and \"Plant Adaptations\", \"Food Chain\" and \"Food Web\"
Can show us
the source or hyperlink news, from where was it reported (indicated) that, above topics are excluded, not tested ?
Thank you

Eg if those qns were worth 10 marks, just minus 10 marks from everybody’s total = everybody will be on the same level again right?
This is possible under T score system cos everyone will be on a curve anyway.[/quote]
I also think no re set papers
Due to this covid uncertainty, seab may not have time to do so - and if covid still going on with new waves coming in future days , psle exam mayb at later date ... nobody knows ...
Minister mentioned before more lenient markings , so easiest fastest is decrease fr 100% full marks to 95 , 90 etc depends on number of qn affected - so many possibilities
Psle is local , still can be easily controlled
The O and A are the headaches for seab n moe to decide n plan -

Do note that masks are compulsory. So if your child is a graduating cohort student, please get ready a suitable mask (especially for P6 students where adult-size masks may be too big for them).
From May 19 onwards,
for P6 students who need to go back school to clarify doubts with Teachers, for small group \"face to face \" remedial or Supplementary lessons, Moe allow.

SEAB has updated the 2020 examination syllabuses due to COVID-19 situation.
Do note that the PSLE examination format for Maths and Science is still the same (duration, no of questions, ...).
There is a chance that SEAB has not updated the latest info on its website due to the circuit breaker extension but it is better to clarify with your school if the details given by them is different.

Many people are going through difficult times and covid had disrupted our P6 graduating students so much, in their studies. Those online HBL (Home-based-school) lessons are not that effective, compared to physical classroom \"face-to-face\" lessons in school. It is such a relief, to know that those heavy going content Science topics have been removed, from National exam. -

for O and A-level National exam, SEAB will modify the questions sent over from Cambridge, to suit our Singapore context. SEAB is still in full control, over what questions they want to set.

eg
normally, SEAB will set harder questions, after what Cambridge sent them.
But this year, due to covid, if SEAB prefer to set easier O / A-level questions, also can. -

Still another headache I feel is, kids, have to do more deeper review of P3/4/5 topics, as more questions may appear from those topics. Funny thing is, in my DS school, the teacher has almost completed the syllabus. So, our headache now started, as we asked my DS to start revising P3-P5 science topics during May holidays!! -
