      At my son's school today, the whole P6 level was asked to sit a psle test paper (the whole paper 1hr 40min) under test conditions with invigilators from SEAB. Would anyone know the reason for this extra test? is it like a control or something? very puzzling.


      It did happen to my gal' s yr too (2009), was puzzled when she told me abt it.....
      Understand that not every school go thru these......wonder is there any changes.....

      Hi it happened for my son too. I can't recall DS1's tine in 2009.

        First time hearing this - tests after PSLE and in Year 2! Seems like a case of MOE trying to right size the PSLE papers. If the exercise started in 2009 and now the same 2009 batch has to take some Math paper, then it could be somewhat related to the big hooha over the v tough 2009 Math PSLE paper(?). To collect data and gauge the variance between PSLE Math score and current Year 2 Math score.

                    His teacher says MOE explained that they just want to test their ability and use it as a guide line to set the next year psle paper .
                    But I don't think it make sense at all :siao:
                    Why don't they use this year psle paper as a guide line ??
                    (it will be more accurate as psle paper is for all the p6s cohort in Singapore)

                      Oic ... Definitely they will be setting very diff papers from this yr papers so the test papers they are taking now should be of quite similar qns to next yr papers... :roll:
