Wow, same as last year. For 2022 PSLE, 2 of 3 prior year papers will be not so good (for Math and Science)...

PSLE 2019 was solid hard (difficult) for Science and Maths. Those pupils graduated in 2019 are in Sec 2 now. I think they will laugh to see the easy questions for subsequent years.
PSLE 2020 questions for Maths and Science are simpler. Just go Popular bookshop to flip the 3 years series to see the standard of the questions tested. I think PSLE 2021 is equal simple like 2020 due to Covid19.SG_KP1\" post_id=\"2027880\" time=\"1624447944\" user_id=\"188234:

Interesting. Maybe psle 2022 will have the same topics removed too, just to be fair. Lol. Jk.

Whether the papers are difficult or easy, the game is still the same. A) Do as well as you can and B) hope you do well enough relative to others that your name is called before the schools you are targeting are full.

In prior years under t-score, hard or easy papers mattered even less as t-score was by definition relative to others. Under AL, the grade is absolute, and (on the margin) influenced by hard or easy papers. But the S1 posting system is still a game of relativity.
For all the talk about how easy the 2020 PSLE papers were, the simulations did not spit out any AL 5 schools or an abundance of AL 6 schools (only 3 such schools). So at least last year the tests still produced a reasonable distribution/spread of scores (or at least it seems that way to me).
It is also possible that the 2021 Math/Science papers will be more difficult than the corresponding 2020 papers, even with certain topics removed again. One can crank up the difficulty of the questions for the topics that remain if they feel 2020 swung too far in the opposite direction of 2019.
Regardless, good luck to everyone that is taking the exam this year! -
Agreed with SG_KP1 that the S1 posting system is still a game of relativity. For all students taking PSLE this year, just work hard and do as well as you can. With CLT remove for Science & Math, it is time to focus on practice paper.
Timed practice is very important especially in exam stress. You will need to get the "hang" of it & remember to move on if the questions are too difficult for you. It is always best to attempt all questions than to leave 3 questions behind as it will mean one AL grade downwards. -
Wonder if there’s any mummy left their job to prep their child. Now is june and it’s seems abit late to do so but having a child who is a wild card and not discipline in doing revision, I’m getting a little paranoid.

there are many, I know a few who took leave prior to the PSLE to care for their child. Prep also means guiding the child to have sufficient rest and play, food.. etc

Hey parents! We are introducing a nationwide social initiative to help you gauge your child's relative standing.
We started this because we realised parents are not able to gauge how their child will perform against the cohort before the PSLE.
We offer free tests to see how your child is performing against the cohort. The more children who participate, the more accurate the relative results would be.
If you think this is an initiative that is worth participating in, you can find out more in the link below.
