Happy Mama:

Hehehe... Sorry I am also not able to confirm the highest, as DD is not sure if highest is 49 or 49.5 out of 50 marks

I know what you're trying to do. You're a very notti mummy :lol: .

Btw after reading E3-lizhi conversation (yes I can read chinese, just a bit slow only hehe), and then Jen's sci qn, I now understand why you folks said that there is a quantum leap between P1/P2 to higher levels.

Thanks to KSP. At least now I know what to expect and won't get shock.

Reading ksp while waitin for bus, n saw 2 PH sch bus speeding past w kids standing instead of sittin down, arent sch buses supposed to have seatbelts now? :?

Just understand from ds that his school bus has installed a tv n has cartoon for them. To make sure everyone is seated??

Hmm, dunno if that works. My ds doesnt take e bus, but i see e buses speed by each day, it better to ensure safety of kids then to rush so that they can make more rounds.

Jennifer:

Study the diagrams below


Life cycle of a chicken adult ->egg ->chick ->adult
Life cycle of a cockroach adult ->egg ->nymph -> adult

Give one difference and one similarity between the life cycle of a chicken and a cockroach

I thought for this type of qn that shows diagrams, our ans must be based on the diagram.

Diff: the cockroach completes its life cycle in a shorter time than the chicken life cycle
where in the diagram indicates the number of days???

my boy also got wrong for this q. My questions is have the kids been taught in class how long will it be for each cycle.

It shld not matter whether the no. of days was taught in class. This type of qn shld be answered based on whatever info/details presented in the diagram.

I clearly remembered last year paper on comparing two animals (a mammal vs a bird), the qn clearly states no colour/size comparison. Must be what can be seen from the diagrams.

I wasn't being notti lah. Neither was I keeping everyone in suspense. My DD really couldn't confirm the highest marks in class.

Yes, you will see a big jump from P2 to P3, especially the teacher's expectations when it comes to answering Compre and ZaoJu. So you can start preparing your DS.

markfch, from P2 onwards, the last question of CL Comprehension OE is the killer shot....the students must be able to comprehend the passage and to answer the question using his own words. you can't find the answer in the passage itself....and that question worths 4 marks...lucky, my gg got 3.5 for this question...

My ds is complexed in personality, he is more open w children his age, I'm still tryin to teach him to share his feelings w me in a constructive manner

Maybe it's because young children are less likely to be judgemental?

Can't wait to hear what Ts say about ds.

Yesterday ds rated sch life as 9/10, says his very happy there.

Another qn 35a) In which setup will the guppy be the first to die? Explain your ans (2 marks).


My boy ans the first part correctly, but no marks becos his 2nd part ans was marked wrong.

His ans: There was no air for the guppy to breathe in setup B.

Correct ans: The fish in setup B has lesser air becos the oil blocks the air from coming in.

I've seen this question before.

Yes, the answer requires them to indicate that it is the oil that is preventing air from entering the water; hence here is a lack of dissolved oxygen. I kept reminding DD to answer this way, in case this question appears in her paper. But for such a long answer, only 1 mark. Not worth.

there is a big diff between the term \"no air\" and \"lesser air\". am i right?

Funx3:

Better to See statistics from FT this Coming Sat.

But My Gal commented that last year SA2 is EASY ....
So A Drop in Marks in CA1 this year is expected ....
Just Want to find out if the Drop is EXTRA- ORDINARY or Not ....
If EveryOne Drops Around the Same, Her Result is Consistent -la!

Hi Funx3, may I know - Is PH P6 CA1 papers included in those standard set of Top sch exam papers that one can buy from those vendors? If not, can I ask you for a favour - to make a copy of the P6 MA CA1 papers? With answers and workings are ok.

PH's P5 CA1 papers are not included those standard set of exam papers that I bought. That's why I have no idea it can be THAT DIFFICULT! Actually come to think of it, my ds might have attempted 2010 P5 CA1 MA papers in their Mock exam, but I didn't pay much attention to that then.

This year's P5 CA1 MA papers, IMO, really got STANDARD! Even my dh tried to solve the problems until he fell asleep! I will make a copy of it (hopefully T gives it back to us after today's checking, even if they want to collect it back subsequently) for ds to revise in SA1 if I have the chance. So if any of the P4 parents want to have it, let me know.

That's why now have to be KS and start asking for P6's! Especially since your dd also thought it is a difficult one ..
