Hi parents,


Just curious asking around, did any parents encounter wrong calculation on the marks in report book? Need advice how they take in the marks. :?: (For P1) As i notice there is some calculation error for my kid CH mark.. :scratchhead:

Cheers..

You can check the handbook. It should be 30% SA1, 70% SA2 for P1s. The formula should be pre-set into the system. Unless the teacher keyed in the marks wrongly into the system, if not, shouldn't have miscalculation.

For P1, it was 40% SA1 & 60% SA2. This was reflected in the report book.

For HMT, 39/50 isn’t bad at all even at P3 level.


Anw, for info, the marking standard for JC-1 promos is at undergarduate level and is practised across the board. As the standard is a big jump frm 0-level, many students get slaughtered each yr.

Maybe the school is laying the foundation and prepares its pupils for higher education at such a relatively young age?

I agree with you it's very disheartening to see marks being refused by teachers...hubby found it hard to accept. We thought he could at least get a mark since he chose the correct option, but his teacher said no, bcos it is part of the question...as long as he did not make any comparisons, he is not entitled...then she added, 'PSLE standard'. What can we say ? Nothing.

The pupils are taught to make comparison in P3 Science. But how to see if the qn needs comparison? I dun think this is taught. So I told my boy as long as there are more than 1 object/pic/setup, etc, pls make a comparison. He lost a few marks in this recent SA2 too due to this.

I thought so too. Esp for this SA2 paper 2. The 2 types of OE compreh has each a \"What will u do/What do u think\" qns which I personally feel is kinda of tough for a P3 to word out his/her thoughts.

Janet, I am sorry that your ds has to learn the hard way. It has been marked this way for many years already. The reason why the first part answer was not accepted was because the child (not specifically your ds) could 'guess' the answer to that first part, without fully understanding the question, his concept might still be flawed. Thus, credit cannot be given to the child. The second part of the question is to assess the child's understanding of the concept tested for this question, therefore, if the child is able to explain scientifically, full marks will be awarded.

The P2s are already answering such questions for CL OE Compre. That's why I started letting my dd be exposed to these types of questions as early as possible.

This is a good idea. For science, mind-mapping is a good tool to remember the concepts.
