Hi Pen88n,

Have you tried the 2011 P6 Prelim English paper 2 from Combined CHIJ? Usually those P6 Prelim English exam papers from all-girl schools are \"killers\". that 2011 PSLE English paper 2 is a simple paper.
:sad:

If the paper simple the t-score must be very low right ?( As most of the cohorts could do it very well )pls correct me If I m wrong . Thanks .

But all the kids are happier and no kids crying or breakdown after the paper. Isn't this a better scenario? I really sympathise with kids who felt so stressed with difficult PSLE paper......afterall they are only 12 and why need to go thru' such agony.....

Hi Brenda,


Hope your DD has less homework today.

We have also taken a break from science revision to focus on English & Maths. Will fully utilise the weekends to focus on MT & Science. Overall, I think DD is ready for PSLE, except for maths...still some fine-tuning required...keke

Hi Tinkerebelle,

I hope so lah.

BTW, there is still one more supplementary class requested by her CL teacher today. As such, hopefully they settle everything in the class and NOT to bring any more work home.

For maths, we let one set of 2011 prelim paper (will just do Section C) to clear.

Hope to get rid of the EL papers and Math paper immediately this Friday!

Passed by the test paper vendor at Jurong East today and they have another set of 2011 prelim papers !

Only from Rosyth and Nan Yang for all 4 subjects.
Selling for $10.
Think it’s just nice for last minute practice.

It's healthy to have the majority of the PSLE cohort to do well than having a handful of PSLE top scorers as most of the PSLE students did badly due to difficult PSLE papers.

MW tuition has already uploaded some Nanhua, Nanyang and Rosyth 2011 prelim papers for practice. These vendors certainly know how to \"chop carrot\" - $10 for 2 sch papers quite ex with at least 3 papers already available for free from MW tuition!

Pen88n:

VC,

I've not seen that paper yet. Have just gone in to MW Tuition to get paper. My printer at home has just broken down, so can't print for him to do, and also not sure if he has time for it. Will try. His sch still giving homework.....

Do you have the answer key from your sis on this paper? If he doesn't have time to do, I may get him to browse thru' with your sis' answers and alert me if there is any diff.

Hi Pen88n,
No, she hasn't started on this paper yet. But I will try to \"push\" her to work on it by tonight if possible.

Just bought another set of 2011 P6 Prelim papers (EL/CL/MA/SC) for Nanyang Pri Sch and Rosyth Sch @ $10. Have you bought them?

Nanyang 2011 P6 Prelim English Q12 - You are correct and answer should be 4. Accordingly to answer key provided by Jeremy for the 2011 Nanyang P6 Prelim English, some of her answers are different:

Q19. Answer given is 3

Q51. Answer given is \"heal\"
Q52. Answer given is \"any\"
Q56. Answer given is \"avoid\"
Q57. Answer given is \"on\"
Q60. Answer given is \"encourage\"

Could you pls help to relook at these questions? BTW, I have posted Q19 and Q22 in the thread - \"Q&A PSLE English\".

Hi ngbrdad,
Thks for your info and have you bought them?

Hi Pen88n,
From MW tuition, the only subject available for Nanyang is English whereas the subjects available for Rosyth are English and Maths.So, you will still get:

Nanyang Pri Sch -> Maths/Science/Chinese
Rosyth Sch -> Science and Chinese

and the most important thing is that you will get the answer keys for these papers. So, I think $10 is pretty reasonable.
