2011 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

[r2010]

I just finished reading 2010 psle maths and try to compare with this year comments. In my own personnel opinion the 2011 psle had few tricky questions and more time consuming compared to 2010

for the ans:351 the question was abt chairs...someone arranged chairs in rows of 9. he bought 6 chairs and arranged the chairs in rows of 7 and had 12 more rows. how many chairs are in the hall at first? (i think?)

Oops! DD's answer is not 351, but 357. Thanks for your help.

Oh yea, some tips for the kiasu parents out there! For paper 2,after like maybe left 5 mins,ask your child to type down her/his answers on the calculator, separating them with a minus sign. Rmb not to press the equals button! And keep pressing the arrow buttons to avoid the calculator frm auto offing and turn the calculator so that it faces the table or else the invigilator might see it. after leaving the exam hall, quickly write yr answers frm the calculator onto a piece of paper.

I think I must add a word of caution on this: actually no paper or information is allowed to be taken out of the exam hall. Doing this might jeopardise the student's position even though no cheating or any foul-play was intended.

DS wanted to do that in order to check his answers with his friends after the paper, but I warned him of the consequences if caught and he agreed it would not be worth the risk. They may decide to go strictly by the book. Remember the kid who took a picture of the front cover of exam paper? He was just being playful but the consequences greatly impacted him. I would say the risk is not worth it, don't attempt this!

To me it sounds correct. There can be more than one correct answer.
