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

any other questions in math or english paper to discuss?

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?

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 $624 more than that from the teachers. What is the total amount of money collected?

BTW, are the P1 - P5 all having school holiday during PSLE period ? I know of some getting their students attend afternoon sessions. But how about those school having double session? Sry OTP.


Tough paper means there will be very high T-scorer (the real super kids, mmm...may be 290+) this yr.

My Gal's sch P3 to P5 is on normal sch hr ....
And they have to take their PSLE Exam in their P6 Classroom.

Lessons are also as usual for P3-P5 at DD's sch. PSLE Exam area was prohibited so the P6 can focus.

DS says he had around one hour to recheck paper 2.

Hi ngbrdad,
Pls refer to my DD1's http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=1727&start=1590. Missing Q44 for 2011 Rosyth P6 Prelim Science paper supplied by Jeremy..
Any link for the Nan Hua Pri 2011 P6 Prelim Science paper online?

VC's mum

Hi asked DS to do the Rosyth and Nan Yang science papers after his nap but found out that he has done both before in school.
And Jeremy's set has question 44 missing .

My friend's daughter is worried more about her not writing down the right index number than the english paper itself, which incidentally, she found to be easy too. What happens if a child writes the wrong index?

The papers are batched up so don't worry. They should be able to figure out. Also, worst case scenario, if result come out not to her expectation since she found it easy, just pay some nominal fee to have the paper checked and find out cause of the below expectation mark. Please ask your friend to allay DD's fears cos young kids may think too much and let such things affect their exam mood for subsequent papers.

Btw KSPs, for the upcoming Chinese/mother tongue compo papers, please remind your kids to remember to put down the number of the compo question selected :xedfingers:

Thats comforting to know. I checked with my DS. He said that the invigilators remind them to check the index number and the Q no in case of Compo in a loud and clear voice. So no worries.

[quote=\"clayman\"]Any DSs or DDs reporting in yet about paper1?

Handphone was not allow to bring during PSLE for my DS school. So no update.

My DS's school also. So just have to see if anyone has any news.[/quote]My DS school does not allow HPs as a rule, but DS always uses the pay phone during the recess to inform me of any changes in the sup classes. Don't all schools have pay phones.
