Think it is his love for numbers, the MA T's teachings and a good foundation that helps.
If u don't mind, care to share how did your ds scored for MA that year ?Mum1113:
[quote=\"Jennifer\"]My elder boy sat for the 2009 PSLE. By the time he reached the last prob sum, he was already mentally exhausted. Claimed he stared at the last qn for 20 mins, just could not think of how to solve.
To be able to solve those few challenging prob sum also must hv strong stamina to sit through the entire paper.
No chicken of essence :lol: But many good nights sleep. No pressure/guidance from parents.[/quote]esp if the kid is self-driven and more so if this is his favourite subject. Thanks for sharing Jenn -

sounds like odd year is difficult. Not only MA perhaps. Sweat !Mum1113:
Heard about 2007, 2009 MA was tough. So 2011 as well ? In my son's MA class, the MA teacher alerts the whole class as a head-start in the very 1st day of school.
I suspect so. The 2009 paper was a killer. -

And which year was that 293 t-score for the Top PSLE scorer, 2007 or 2009 ? Is there co-relation between difficulty level and T-score ?

The only difference is the \"feel-good\" factor after the paper - difficult paper made parents and kids
and worried till results time!

DS Maths teacher told the class so as well. Que sera sera, whatever will be will be.....I told DS if it is difficult paper, the whole cohort still gets the same paper. No one has advantage / disadvantage over anyone else. So, just do his best!Mum1113:

Eg. for a simple paper, the student who is more careful will get better score. For a difficult paper, the student who have practised more types of 'difficult questions' has a better chance of a A*, more exposure what... :evil:jtoh:
