Mwahahaha XD:

Our sch top scorer cheated for paper 1 eh... Will minus 40 or 100 uh? Anyone noe?

What do you mean cheated??

Yes, how did he/she cheated, you saw? Was he/she caught? It's really such a pity that a top scorer would resort to cheating because it would mean a straight zero. Really feel sad for him/her.

Hmm... bu they say TOP scorer leh....

TOP scorer also mean more pressure on kid from parents and teachers to perform up to mark, and kid's expectation of himself / herself too. If faced with a difficult paper and lots of worry of not up to mark, kid may resort to desperate measures to ensure he / she perform well. Wrong move, but kid must be really stressed and desperate in this situation and did not think properly!

Omg!!!! His/her parents must be very disappointed and how is he/ she going to face his/ her parents ? :sad: :gloomy:

Based on DD2's memory for 2011 PSLE Maths:


Paper 1 Q27
Five tins with same number of marbles in them. 18 marbles are taken from each of them and in the end, 5 of these tins have the same number of marbles as two of the original tins. How many marbles are there in each tin at first?

Paper 1 Q28
A person eats rice. In 8 days, he has half of the total amount of rice remaining. In 10 days, 900 grams of rice are left. How much rice does he have at first?

Paper 2 Q1
The average of A, B and C is 5y. C has 2 y more than B and A has y more than B. If y = 5, what is B?\t

Paper 2 Q17
There are teachers and students that had bought tickets. The price of each ticket for a teacher is $20 while that of a student costs $8. The number of tickets bought by the teachers is 1/4 of the total number of tickets bought. The amount of money collected from the students is $416 more than that from the teachers. What is the total amount of money collected?

I think its harder, but then only hard to those 75 percentile and below.
I have many friends who say difficult until die one.
