        Hi, anyone know of any recommended PSLE 3 or 10 year series? So many types in popular bookstore so not too sure which are the better ones. Thanks!
        Schools will usually ask the P6s to buy the latest 3-year series and teachers will go through some/all of these papers.

        You can buy from Popular in advance (say when the child is in Upper Primary) if you want an extra year or two for
        practice.

        It is better to rely on school's answer keys than those from publishers.

        All the best.

          Does that mean the 2022 PSLE kids will do N levels in 5 years and finish their secondary school the same year as 2023 PSLE kids?

            Based on what we know so far, that would very much seem like the case.

            2023 Sec 1 NA will sit for their N Level in 2026 and O Level in 2027.
            2024 Sec 1 G2 will sit for a common national exam in 2027.

            I'm wondering why this isn't discussed much so far.

              You were guessing that the official announcement would be made in 2023?

              As for discussion/ queries, I asked around (elsewhere) last year when I saw kiddo’s P5 results and was worried will fall into Exp/NA option band. Didnt get any solid answers. Most tutors were just saying take N levels in Sec 4 and then go PFP. No one said to continue onto Sec 5 for O levels (not even if some remnant SBB L1R5 subjects needed the O cert).

                I don’t think they can force the last batch not to sit for O Level, although the sensible option would be to exit via PFP. However, it could remove the privilege of a handful of late boomers who want to go for JC / A Level. My guess is the O Level will go on for another year to benefit this group as well as any possible repeats from 2026 O Level batch.

                Given the uncertainty, it’s only logical to announce the plan for this group, as well as for the first batch under the new scheme, as soon as possible. Next year seems to be the only window left as the entire cohort of 2024 Sec 1 will be impacted. They can’t possible decide between G1 /2 /3 without understanding the implications.

                  \"A new common national examination will be introduced by the Ministry of Education (MOE) in 2027 to replace the current GCE O- and N-Level examinations and this will complement the subject-based banding system that is set to replace streaming in secondary schools.\"

                  So my guess
                  2023 Sec 1 NA will sit for their N Level in 2026 and common national exam in 2027.
                  2024 Sec 1 G2 will sit for a common national exam in 2027.

                    What?! Both O- and N-level sit for the same exam? How to? I thought the idea of segregating the levels was to teach the kids at their most comfortable level. Why make them sit for the same exam?

                      A new common national examination with G1, G2 and G3 for each subject (somewhat akin to H1, H2 and H3 for common A-Level).

                      The G1 level will correspond to today’s Normal (Technical) standard, G2 to Normal (Academic) and G3 to Express.
