What was the interview about and why were they super stressed?[/quote]The father was complaining that the maths was too hard for the p6 kids and should not be set in that way and it seem like he is the one that is coaching his daughter.. the daughter who was also being interviewed said that all the while she has high expectation with herself and after the maths exam which she obviously could not do some of the difficult question, she felt totally discourage and down. She said she wish to go rgs or nygh as she want to be a doctor as a doctor can earn a lot of money....... and the mediacorp set up a stand at a bus-stop where many nygh and hci students took bus. these students where ask to try out one of the hard qn --- choc and sweet problem.. some can get the answer after some thought while some unable.. all the sec or even jc students said is hard as a p6 qn :shock:

Hi,
besides reporting to school in uniform at 12 pm to collect results, what else do we need to know? Can parents go along? Will the school calls up the kids who top the school in advance?

thank you.

Just asking:


Does all 4 subjects, English, Maths, Science and Chinese contribute to PSLE score equally?

Or does English and Chinese play a more important part, while Maths and Science not so?

Last time I asked my dad and he said LANGUAGES are important in PSLE score, but just a few days back, my school mate told me all subjects play an equal part in the total PSLE score.

If my school mate is correct, I guess I’m done for…

My Maths and Science will ruin my PSLE score for sure.

Hi Aya

You have raised a valid question. Many years back when my kid was taking PSLE, I did call MOE to find out. Unfortunately, I did not get a definitive answer from the person at the other end of the helpline. He only hinted that there will be some form of \"weightage\". No other details beyond that. Till today I am still wandering. Anybody with more info who can help?

Regards.

Hi Aya and atutor2001,

Do check this out:

http://road-to-psle.blogspot.com/2007/11/how-psle-aggregate-and-t-scores-are.html

It tells you how PSLE scores and T-scores are calculated. And yes, from the looks of all the worked examples in the above link, all subjects work out to have equal weightage....(Please correct me if I am wrong.)

There have been discussions on this matter in other threads of this forum too. For info.

Further to this, is Part 2 of the blog (by Excel Eduservice), which in fact talks specifically about the question that Aya had asked. See this link:

http://road-to-psle.blogspot.com/2007/11/more-on-psle-aggregate-and-t-scores.html

As the blog by Excel Eduservice had stated,
\"One concern parents and students have is that there may be bias towards language subjects because the total score is 200, while the total for Maths and Science is 100.

In this post, we will see that there is no bias towards any particular subject, although the total scores for languages is twice that of Maths and Science.\"

In short, ALL subjects have equal importance in PSLE.

Hope that helps.

hello Aya

btw, are u a P6 pupil ?
if yes, yr form teacher shd have tell u that all subjects have the same weightage. even if yr teacher did not tell u, i suppose the school holds P6 info nighttalk whereby the parents are given all the necessary and essential info.
in fact, my gal's sch had held the talk twice, one in P5 and another in P6.
