2011 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

Pen88n:

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.....

Ms tay:

Maybe u r right .. But I believe that there r pros n cos I always remind my ds must prepare for the worst 人要在逆行中才能成长 。俗语说：吃得苦中苦，方为人上人。

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.

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.

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!

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:

Q51. Answer given is \"heal\"
Q52. Answer given is \"any\"

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.

Not buying anymore.......still have those not done for English like the Nanyang Paper 2 and CHIJ combined (as advised by you). I need to find time to mark his completed papers too, and just too many to mark and review with him.

Not sure about Q19 and Q22. Checking with fren now.

I find the answer for Q51 - 57 acceptable (there can be more than 1 answer in cloze). For Q60, I do not think \"encourage\" is a good answer, but it may be accepted. I prefer to use \"tell\" or \"advise\".

Have browsed through the Nanyang and Rosyth papers and noted that the Nanyang's Maths and Science papers plus Rosyth's Science papers are \"killers\". :sad: :gloomy: :slapshead: :stupid:
