My gal commented that Science paper was easier than some top school papers , esp Booklet A:) Overall she was happy 😃

Phew! Glad the papers are finally over for her! All the best to the kids who are taking Higher Mother Tongue tmr!

If all the papers are relatively easier , how does that affect the t score ?

COP will go up?

I recall there was one year the COP of mid tier schools went up by a lot , some by as much as 6-8 and many were caught off guard

Yes that would be year 2018 where all papers were easier except science a tad tougher. Heard bell curve more narrow and psle scores were more compressed therefore resulting in the 220-250 having more students. Cop in the middle tier schools also went up unexpectedly by 6-8 points. Top sch cop also came down slightly due to narrower Bell curve.

I see.


Maybe we need to take reference from 2018 COP when choosing the schools then .

Among the TOP schools 2020 Sci prelim papers, DD got highest for attempt on TNS of 99%. NYP and SCGS also 90+ She did others like MGS and Rosyth barely got 90. So, I think TNS is relatively easier.

Hi Xueyan, my girl found Math paper tough too. Among the 4 subjects, Math the most difficult. Sigh!
