Hi sista,


High A and low A can be different up to 15 marks! :nailbite:

Yeah That's Why some parents commented that in PSLE,
even if get 4A could be a low 225,
and some kids getting 2A and 2B can be getting above 240 ....

So Going by numbers of A's, B's, A* could be Misleading ....

My friend dd got 2A and 2B and her T-score was 209! :nailbite:

Hi Brenda,


Exactly.Each MCQ is two marks, if its only one mark, then, dont think they will feel so much.DS also toying between the two cheng yu for option .I din want to tell him the answer cos I dont get to see the full question.

All the best to your dd math results today.

Cheers,
Leanne

DS also complained his Maths paper tough, and Maths is so far his stronger subject! :faint: His Maths teacher has also commented that the class Maths marks have dropped. Other than that, he said English teacher told them their marks are \"not good\".......Given that next week is a short week, suspect that teachers will start going through the prelim papers immediately after their HMT paper tomorrow.

DS said the same thing.....some kids couldn't finish the Maths paper. He also knew he lost some marks due to wrong answers. Told him what is more important is to learn from mistakes to improve for PSLE!
