      Indeed, easiler is better as least they know they have cleared the paper with certain confidence to move on to the next paper.


      Mellette, agreed with you. Let us don't concern of how the T-score will affect the result first but for easier paper esp Maths as 2nd day paper, it really help the kids to have confidence to tackle the next coming Science and Higher Chinese papers.

      Yesterday I saw my DD keep smiling as at least she is happy that English and Maths paper is not as difficult as the prelim and esp after Maths paper, I can see her confidence level is more up as she saw her answers are mostly correct after discussing with friends and from forum feedback in the web. At least for Maths (One of the most time consuming and tricky paper) had cleared.

      Gosh! If first 2 paper were to be easy for these above average kids... :!: :!: wondering science would be tough or not lei? I heard this is thr first batch science weightage diff from previous year ...truth or not? :? :?

          The paper was quite easy for me. But for question 17, i dun understand why 953 is not accepted? please explain to me



          Me too.
          My method was something like that:

          119-6=113
          113x8=904
          904+49=953

          I tried and tested this method with the given patterns before using it as my final answer



          actually, the formula is this (at least mine).
          119-1=118 (to make even no.)
          118-2=116 (i started from 2 since figure 1 is weird)
          116/2=58
          58*13=754 (the diff alt. between 8 and 5. 8+5=13)
          754+8+20=782 (figure 2 is 20. since 119 is odd, must add the next diff., 😎

                Just to clear up matters, all subjects have an EQUAL weightage, i.e. 25%. However, the weightage per question in booklet B has increased for science. This is because while maintaining the total marks of 40, MOE has reduced the number of questions in Booklet B from 16 to 14 so each question carries a greater number of marks.


                This is what I think in the very least but I am pretty sure it is true. Any other inputs? πŸ˜„

                  I agree with you. My method was structure no. x 8 +1.
                  this above method can be used after structure no. 4, but i dunno if it can be used for other structures

                    [quote=\"blessedami\"]Hi desichan352,


                    What is Qusetion 24 ? Question 24 is not MCQ.

                    Sorry, i meant booklet B. Most of my friends put 3/4 but i think that 1/4 is the right answer....

                    What was question 24 again?
                    I need some refreshing.After all its been like erm.. 11 hours or so since the paper. ><[/quote]Mr tan and his family went to the zoo from 9.10 am to 3.10 pm. what fraction of the 24-hour day did they spend at the zoo?

                    It's something along those line, obviously not word for word. I put 1/4 too.
