My boy used ruler to measure, but still thought it is a right angle. so it is a bad question.

No offence, but I think you shld ask your boy to show you how he used the ruler to check the angle. I need to teach my boy how to place the ruler properly so as to get a proper measurement.

I used a protractor to measure, and its a right angle! Handdrawn angle, should give an allowance of +/- 1-2 deg.

not sure. but that is not the point. the point is it is very difficult to gauge anything less than 1 degree error without a protractor. i believe the aim of the question is to test whether the pupil understands the less than 90 degrees concept, not whether their eye can tell between 89 and 90 degrees, so they should make the angle more obvious if they are testing concept...

First of all, I would like to thanks Trapwithin, Jennifer,Perwinklejoy, Markfch, Ijj and E3 for your heartfelt :congrats: . I appreciate that. Actually excited and also quite paisay to announcement it here. That why only mentioned it in the GEP thread.

I can't participate in the science and math qns as my dd has taken them to school else I will definitely have alot to say. Like Jennifer has said, must not treat PH papers too serious else can really :x . I, too, am going to put my faith on the PSLE papers as the qns must clear and with a purpose else lot of parents would complain.(tons of them will appear in the forum).
I have not decided yet, anyone any suggestion which gep sch to send my dd to? Pl, yes my dd is in CH (I thinik someone ask) and 14 in CH got in.

No need to be paiseh. We're truly happy for you & proud that more than 1/3 of CH 3 qualified for GEP. Which sch to select? Hmm, that's a very good problem to have. But for this qn I think it's better to ask those 过来人 like vlim or vk2010. Btw, I read that NYPS GEP classes are super hot so not all who applies can get in. Another round of balloting in store? Keke.

My friend (a teacher) told me, priority is given to those who stay nearer and from a SAP school.

Both of which comfy's dd qualifies comfortably. I'm assuming she stays around BT area.

What say you? Right angle?

Any P3 parents intend to march into school and ask them to explain why? Scoring, frankly, is not the main reason why I am doing this. To me, maths and science are facts, what are, are, what are not, are not. I am ok with tricky and challenging questions that stretch kids on their knowledge and applications of concepts learnt, but not cheating questions.
