Past Year Exam Papers

csc:

Actually, kelly1, the papers will be on-sale by those vendors of TOP school exam papers 1/2 weeks after the prelims, with enough time for last-min practice before THE PSLE. ie, assuming the children have run out of papers to practice... WOW!


That's what my son's form teacher did last year. She ordered the latest set for the class to practise before the PSLE.

But , do make sure your child PEAK at the right time and don't get 'burned out' in the process.

You shouldn't go and buy other school's papers cos it is not fair to the students of that school. What good will the students have if everyone gets their papers?

Because of this reason , some schools don't allow the students to get their paper home. It is unfair to the students of that school , just because of this act.

My daughter's school exchanged their prelim papers with RGS, SCGS, Henry Park, etc ... so my daughter did a lot of 2009 prelim papers from the other top schools during the period leading up to PSLE (they were given model answers as well). I thought this was a novel idea.

[Uh-Oh]

Personally, i really disapprove of those vendors selling sch exam papers. The exam papers are the hard work of sch teachers who take great pains to set the questions. How can they make a profit out of it?? It is just like buying a pirated version of Microsoft software. Moreover, the so-called answer key provided by such vendors are not 100% accurate ( i dun think they r able to get the answer keys fr the schools). If yr child has a tutor who check the answer key b4 marking the paper, then ok, but if u hav not hired a tutor, then it would be most misleading to yr child, who might learn the wrong things. Recently, i marked my tuition kid's homework and realised that the one of the Comprehension answers was wrong, it was a result of misinterpreting the passage. That was from the pile of sch exam papers which her mum had bought for her.


Schools within the same cluster will often exchange papers, so dun hav to worry that yr PSLE child wont hav enough practice in sch. In fact, the prob is not a lack of practice papers, but TOO MUCH ! Stuffing yr kids with tons of exam papers can actually churn out undesirable consequences. It always sadden me when i hear of cases whereby Pri 6 students commit suicide cos they cannot tolerate the pressure on them.

no it will not do the students any good cos other students will practice based on the higher standard and this will affect the psle T-score (or whatever you call that) which is based on the performance of the cohort.....if you want to count this in too...

Hi kelly1, I'm sure that TOP schools exam papers would have given out papers for prelims a long time ago!

YES! I know of a few schools who do not allow students to bring their papers home. It's only shown to parents during MTP. Teachers will instead give a piece of paper which states which topics the child is poor in based on the exam paper.

There is always two sides to the coin.


I believe many parents will use the exam papers to gauge their child’s understanding of the subject. From there, they will be able to revise more on their child’s weaker area.

My children’s previous tutor also used the test papers to assess my children’s understanding on the various subjects.

I have found that it works.

I also believe the principals of the top schools are well awared that their school exam papers are on sale but so far none of them have come forward to voice their displeasure or objections.

So relax parents.

Hello.


Does any parent know when will I be able to buy or order the post exams papers 2009?

Thanks thanks .

[Muffins]

I think you already can now, kiasimom, either now or early 2010.

If there are schools that actually has copyrights
to all their school papers, then it does mean tt
the papers weren't supposed to be leaked out. :siam:
