Hi all, anyone has contacts of Chinese Composition marker? Plan to do 1 作文 a week but need someone familiar with the marking scheme to mark and provide feedback. Preferably one with experience in PSLE marking. Thanks!

Hi chiuyl,

I have helped some KSP parents with this before. You can email me at [email protected] but please note that I will not be able to revert with the marked work and comments immediately as I am conducting classes for upper Pri to Sec CL/HCL daily.

Alternatively, you may want to refer to the translated PSLE CL compo rubrics I shared previously in this post: https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=25131&start=970#p1893302

Seriously??

Would like to ask seasoned PSLE parents here, which publisher is better for the 3-year series, SL Education or EPH? I believe the answer booklet is prepared by the publisher, rather than SEAB.

I bought the English one from SL Education last year, found several obvious errors in the Answer booklet.

Can I assume that the rival EPH would be more accurate in their answers?

EPH answers are more accurate. However, some, especially OE comprehension answers still differ quite a lot from model answers provided by school teachers. Hence, I would recommend waiting for school teachers to go thru PSLE past years papers.

Thanks for your input!

Hi zac's mum,

For CL & HCL, I would recommend EPH.

1) There are explanations provided for the answers for various sections - even for MCQ Compre. E.g.:
EPH -->

SL -->

2) The answers are more detailed/accurate. E.g. 1:
EPH vs. SL -->

Thank u so much Chenlaoshi! That’s a very stark contrast in quality indeed! I’ve already placed order for the EPH version, no regrets for just $0.50 more, can get so much better guidance.
