      Estimation for psle score: 50+10(r-a/sd)
      Sd:20
      Average:65
      You should be able to calculate ur psle score with this formula
      May I ask how did you derive the sd and average?

        Will u be penalized for not writing statements
        No, you won’t. Writing statements is not necessary. I didnt write any statements as well.

          So this year’s English Paper 2 is not so easy, Math is manageable but not so easy??
          I would personally say both were easy but it depends on the individual I got 94 for prelim math so I would say psle maths paper was easy but if you didn't understand the concepts properly then you may view the paper differently

              [quote=moohoo post_id=1997096 time=1601625671 user_id=97665]Anyone remember the answer for the paper 2 question 5 about squares?

              hi, if i'm not wrong about which question it was, i put 300 πŸ™‚

              how did you do it? I feel like 300 is a bit large imo[/quote]Shaded area = 165
              Therefore, 22u = 165
              1u = 7.5
              Total square= 40u
              Answer = 40Γ—7.5= 300.
              Hope my daughter told the correct questions...
              My daughter do wrongly as she found unshaded =23 πŸ˜‚ hope for method mark!

                My daughter do wrongly as she found unshaded =23 πŸ˜‚ hope for method mark![/quote]After someone told me the value for the shaded I realised I also got 300 πŸ˜‚
                I did it using different units tho

                4u = whole figure
                2u = half of it
                2u/5 = 0.4 = 1 top rectangle
                2u/4 = 0.5 = 1 bottom rectangle
                3 top rectangles = 0.4 x 3 = 1.2
                2 bottom rectangles = 0.5 x 2 = 1
                Shaded rectangles of top and bottom = 1.2 + 1 = 2.2
                1u = 165/2.2 = 75
                4u = 75 x 4 = 300

                  I use 40u as whole figure while you use 4u.
                  Is same method. πŸ‘

                    yes; it might not be entirely accurate if you don't mind me saying so LOL

                        I thot there was one pattern question, Q15, on the ring.

                        Yes! Now she recalls there’s a pattern quest in paper 2:)

                        Answer a) 30 b) 28[/quote]Hmmmm...
                        Hopefully your DD didn't miss the plot...how come the good student found it difficult and your DD said manageable
