Hopeful still stand a chance coz my girl already had to work hard to improve her AL to meet the cut off. Else have to travel further for other neighborhood school, so hoping she makes it in for convenience sake.
Probably the safest bet now....thank god my kids got into top schools with tscore...! This new AL big XXXXX....I suspect many ambitious ones gonna end up in neighbourhood schools they didn't apply for. unless you get AL4 don't try top schools....Good luckAutumnleaf\" post_id=\"2040776\" time=\"1633404205\" user_id=\"35378:

totally agree! looking at past few days comments, looking at so many parents complaining at MOE fb ,...... im wondering, if all kids scoring AL1 for all subjects, is this what we want? everyone just have to use pandemic as excuses and all kids get a chance to try RI, NYG, HC..........Ha... ironic. Pitchforks were out in force just a couple of days ago.
MOE was the big bad guy and CCS was being called out left, right, centre for being evil, uncaring, driving kids to suicide.
Whichever policy is in place, they can’t please everyone.
Those at the top will want the papers to be hard to sieve out the potential competitors. Wun-wun-jia-bee-hoon go into their dream top schools.
Those who are on the borderline will want the papers to be easier so they have a chance to squeeze into the said top schools.
Those who are below that will want the papers to be super easy so that it is fair and everyone has a chance – even balloting also shiok.
And some just want to get by so that their kids can manage the stress and are not interested in the competition in which they are the collateral damage.
At the end of the day, RI only has X number of places. Whether it is the T-score or AL band or some future magic formula, they can only accept X students so there needs to be a cut-off somewhere.
The alternative is rebrand all the schools; either number them Schools #1, #2, …. Or just have one massive RI with branches throughout Singapore la. -
If you really went through PSLE 2020 papers, Math and English easy, CL moderate, Sci considered tricky. Based on what the parents said should have a lot a lot AL4/5. But no school cut off at 5. If this is based on raw score, then this year should be similar. If without modifications, then this year posting really based on luck.

My kid say science is very easy…but who knows… maybe just trying to make me happy…

Yes, PSLE Science paper was very easy this year according to a student who is weak in Science.
My kid say science very easy..Completed paper n still left with 20 mins to check..So if a lot of kids get off results..Then like bto..Need to ballot -
If parents were not protesting when their child didn’t score 100/100 in their school test and prelim exams, why are they getting so upset with 1 or 2 of the more difficult question in the PSLE exam?
From the complaints, it sounded like parents are upset because their children always score 100 in math and due to MOE insensitivity they can only score 95. -
To those of you say today Science paper, my DS said it was NOT easy … only maybe MCQ but not rest of paper- so please stop comparing : to each kid their own potential
We need to be sensitive to all kids of different ability -

When it comes to science, understanding the question may be easy, but getting full marks for each question may still be tricky. As the saying goes, the proof of the pudding is tasting. Hence better not to set too high expectation
