2021 PSLE Discussions and Strategies (Children born in 2009)
-
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.

The new PSLE AL system grades one's child on the basis of his/her individual performance in subjects, regardless of how their peers have done. Your lead generation initiative is moving people away from MOE's intended objective.

Hi Putien!
Yes, this is something our team has thought about and wrestled with.
Our goal is to provide transparency on where a child is weak at prior to taking a national level examination. Having gone through the system ourselves, we believe it’s beneficial to help parents know where their child stands so that they can take targeted action!
Coming from different schools, we can see how some children are better prepared than others. We understand that every school should be equal and would like to help bridge any gaps while MOE takes steps to ensure all students have access to the same quality/rigour in preparation for national level exams!
If every child can achieve the same AL, great! The data should also reflect that - granting parents a peace of mind.
Thanks for your feedback though! -
I feel that the AL system is pretty bad for now. Like probably an estimated 1250 people will get the same AL as me. Does this mean way more fighting into Secondary Schools? Especially the AL6. I know that for certain the wide range of AL6 will not affect me as my standard is around AL2, but to other "average" people, it is super unfair. O M G how can the MOE make a fail group with a low ‘B’ grade? It’s just so so wrong. I am just afraid that if this keeps up, I would really have to demoralize my whole well-being and wreck my self-esteem to a negative just so I can get an AL4 + Distinction. This system just makes me cry so hard and feels like the world is tumbling upon me. Sad.

I think the entire point of AL is that.
Worry about your problems, let others worry about theirs. -

Agree!

Just that your own worries get worse...even for those who managed to score AL 4 in SA1 if all subjects sat at the edge of 90...(i.e. 90, 91) One careless mistake changes everything. :scared: :yikes: -

My daughter sat for her first mid-year Math paper. Got an answer half-right. She wrote the right formula / right equation but made a careless mistake and divided wrongly. Teacher was quite nice to give 2 marks out of 4 marks and that was the difference between her score of 89 (AL2) vs a potential score of 91 (AL1). Luckily for her, still ok to make mistakes and learn from them (she actually made 3 similar mistakes, rectifying anyone of them would have gotten her to 91).
