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

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 = 40×7.5= 300.
Hope my daughter told the correct questions...
My daughter do wrongly as she found unshaded =23 😂 hope for method mark!

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. 👍

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?

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

Hopefully your DD didn't miss the plot...how come the good student found it difficult and your DD said manageable

Dear parents,
The end of PSLE is just round the corner! :imcool:

We are 55 Minutes Pte Ltd, a user experience design studio.
With the aim to design a solution for parents to better support children for PSLE preparation, we are seeking opportunities to talk to parents about PSLE experiences of parents and their children.

As part of this study, several design samples will be presented/ tested, and we hope to hear parents’ feedback about design ideas.
This will be conducted in English for 90 minutes via a video call (and an optional 45 minutes with your child if you allow your child to participate).

After your participation, $40 NTUC e-voucher will be granted (or $60 NTUC e-voucher for parent-child participation)

If you are a full-time working parent, and You have a child/children who has taken the PSLE this year,
Please find the details in this survey link > https://forms.gle/7MT2Gmka3iUeJDHE7
and fill in the form!
Only short listed will be contacted!
Thanks!
