Jennifer:
actually, I also stopped visiting them quite some time ago. That day, I was just curious and went in to take a look.
In order not to stress myself unduly, I hv long ago stopped visiting those Academic postings. See no evil= feel no evil :imanangel:
My heart nearly stopped when I saw more than 300 pages of such questions.....I was wondering, if this is PSLE question, then I better tell my kid to buck up !! -
ksme:
No need to look evil, some GEP kids are very good in languages but not in may just be average in Maths.
I think you are right that most questions do look like GEP questions or maths olympiad questions. I suppose when people post to this thread, they are not the PSLE questions since there is a separate thread for PSLE Maths. Maybe GEPper also need help for Maths? :evil:
you are right, the PSLE maths thread also has 300 + pages .... :yikes: -
Is this what they call \"Murderous Math\"? All out to murder the kids' interest? :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
Have mercy I hope on mainstream kids. :xedfingers: -

Actually, most of the questions posted in that thread are REAL questions that you can expect to happen in the PSLE. I kid you not.
The only good news is that they are normally the hardest 1 or 2 questions in the examination.
Why? Because if it was easy, no one would post the question. That was what my son said :roll:
Now you understand why parents are usually up in arms after the Math exam. -

Whew! Maybe the title should be \"Only-attempt-if-you-need-to-score-full-marks-at-PSLE-Maths\"The only good news is that they are normally the hardest 1 or 2 questions in the examination.

Err... hardest 1 or 2 questions only means the rest of the questions are less hard. It doesn't mean they are easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy as my daughter will say.

Psychologically, if the few tough questions are placed in front, it would have dampened some kids’ spirit so I hope even if they want to insert such toughies in, have mercy to put it behind, at least let the children feel that they can do those questions they have been taught the concepts that are easy to see easily in the questions.

Dear ksi
Usually these type of tough questions are fall under '5 marks' questions. If I'm not wrong there would be 4 questions and are placed from Q15 to Q18 (Q18 is the last question for Section C). -
Brenda10:
Oh only 4? Then they only have room to put it as Q17 and Q18.ksi:

I thought perhaps one may appear in Section B as well. Whatever it is, let them be the last questions in the Section in order not to dampen the children's spirit in pressing on. :xedfingers:
