With the PSLE results, does anyone know what sort of marks are classified under A*/A/B/C... ??
Sorry, hope i am making sense here.

Just preparing myself...hahahaha...my ds MT is really not that good...so wondering if it will be a 'B' or maybe even a \"C\"

Some ideas on the score/grading system from the experts here will be much appreciated!
:thankyou:

Hi
Based on what my older two went thru, about 40% of the cohort gets A and A* for English, Math and Science. For Chinese, about 80% of cohort gets A or A*. Ultimately it is the actual T score for each subject that counts.[/quote]

Hi Fuzzy Bear, Thanks for attempting to answer my doubts, appreciate it.
But i was wondering what could possibly be the range of marks for these grades. read in another thread that A* = 91 and above. If thats true....my son chinese will bound to be no more than a \"B\" i think.[/quote]

Basing on Most Sch Scoring system ....
A* - 91 and Above
A - 75 to 90
B - 65 to 74
So there's a Large Range of Marks that can Qualify as A .... [/quote]

Thanks for the info!!

Any of your children took the Combine Hokkien Huay Kuen Pre-lim papers? How do they find the standard? According to my DD, she says it’s easier than Chong Fu’s paper.

Chong Fu is also one of the combine hokkien huay kuan school.

Hi Mandymummy, thank you for the info.

Hi, hashroop, I emailed MOE sometime in July and this is their reply. Not sure if this is the latest info.

Thank you for your email on xx yyyyy 2011.
 
We wish to inform you that the date of release of the 2011 PSLE Examination results has tentatively been scheduled to fall within the period between 24 November 2011 and 28 November 2011.
 
Currently, the 2011 Secondary 1 Posting - Important dates are not confirmed. However, the window period for the PSLE results and Secondary 1 posting results is around the 4th week of November and 4th week of December respectively.
 
Please also note that the Secondary One (S1) Posting Exercise is normally conducted immediately after the release of the PSLE results.
 
For families who are travelling at that period, may appoint a proxy to act on behalf of them. The proxy may assist you on the following.

1. Collect your child’s / ward’s PSLE results slip, S1 Option Form and other relevant documents on your behalf
 
2. Submit the duly completed S1 Option Form on your behalf
 
3. Report to secondary school for registration
 
You may wish to refer to the following website for last year's dates and may use the information provided as a rough gauge.

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.

My Gal's Sch is Gonna BE Used As Polling Stn on Sat.
So The Moment they Finish their Sc Prelim Tomorrow at 10am, Gotta Pack their Bags and Be Off at 10.30am ....

Sayonara to their T ....
Till Next Wed!
So No Prelim Bad Performance Gloom hanging over them, until Next Week ....

My Gal Come Back from Day 4 of Prelim, and ....

\"Paper Seem to Be Progressively Getting More Difficult Everyday!\"
Got Some Kids Come out Crying Coz Cannot Finish the Paper ....

Sch Really must be Prep them for Diffucult PSLE this Year! :roll: :roll:

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!

Told my Gal the Same ....
Prelim she can Make ALL the Mistakes she Wants To, But Not to Repeat in PSLE ....
My Gal Can't Finish Her MAths Paper as Well, with 3 Section C left Uncompleted .... And Poof Goes 15 Marks!

But think It's a Good Wake up Call, coz now she Seriously is Aware of So Many More Ways Q can Be Asked that she May Not be Able to get the Ans within the time Frame, and ....
May Spur her to be more compliant when Mummy Say, \" Why Don't U Try some More Past Year papers ....?\"
