Any news on today oral topics for EL and MT?

Generally not discussed, because some kids may be on MC and need to re-take on a later date.

But some parents, after asking their child what topic came out today, will offer it privately to other parents with children taking the other language subject, exchange topic for elimination purposes.

There was supposedly some system issues for CL oral on Day 1 but resolved and the children took their exams after waiting for a period of time. Trust it will be a smoother experience for Day 2 . All the best

Actually most tuition centers have consolidated the questions after the PSLE. They had either sent to parents or posted on facebook page. Don’t think it’s a secret at all. Just simple google will be able to find it. Don’t think MOE will reuse the questions.

No. MOE will not use the same questions. In fact, I don’t think there’s a retest date. Children who are absent for PSLE oral or any paper will not get to take it. MOE has its own method to calculate and generate the children’s scores.

If mc oral, tiagong need to go designated centre to take. But actual PSLE paper MC, will base on your prelim and school factor.

If you did well for Prelim, well, probably taking MC on actual day is a good choice.

About 17,800 students sat for the oral exam on Tuesday and around 4 per cent – more than 700 – had their end time delayed.

A popular girls’ school in the North was affected too. I feel special consideration should have been given to all the groups of affected students from different schools taking MT Oral exam on Day 1.

If you are taking MT oral on Shift 1 Day 1, you could have left the school by 10.50am. However, I heard that pupils for Day 1 Shift 1 left at 12 plus in afternoon due to delay. As a result, it affected Day 1 Shift 2 pupils to end the oral as late as 2 plus in afternoon.

Schools should have taken initiative to send message via PG - Parent Gateway to inform affected parents whose children are taking oral exam. Snacks and drinks like biscuits and Milo should be provided.

Hopefully, MOE schools can reflect based on this incident and plan for 2024 oral examinations for pupils to bring snacks along for oral exam in case such technical issues happen again.

Lastly, have a full breakfast before taking any exam.
