now i know why we call kiasu parent.... hahaha!

we just over the LC..... my DD tell me mummy dun ask anything abt!!!! I just don't wan to talk about it, let move on....

Same here, my DD tell me not to ask her anything about LC anymore. So I just keep quiet. She even tell me that she must pin her hopes on compo & main paper... so i believe the MT LC is tough! Even after reading the forum here, I dare not ask her for her answers as well. I also decided not to ask her as not to affect her mood further. We left with less than 2 weeks for the actual papers....Guess, we should let them concentrate now and move on... No point dwelling if she get right or wrong answers! :xedfingers:

I guess we are still unsettled after the psle LC. I definitely did not expect it to be this tough after my teachers let the class practice the past yrs LC.

Pls don't do that to me as well. Psle is like determining our future, so obviously we will be interested even though we know we will never know the answers. Unless he isn't concerned...

Why the ans for last question for english is 3 not 1

Let me try to answer you...mmm... it is something like: to live forever is quite meaningless, unless one lives a meaningful life; it's not the longevity of life that matters....

(Not sure if you get it, but Q like this you need to think out of the box, the answer hardly included in the passage...)

However,the passage did not mention anything about living a meaningful lige.some of friends wrote ans 1

I can totally understand. Based on her class practices, past years papers practice, she can always get full marks. BUT today when I fetch her from school, she seems to have 0% of confidence for full marks... So i just comfort her and tell her to move on!!! :hugs:

Good point, let the kids relax...it is not the only exam they need to take in their 15-16 years of education. Sometimes too much attention may make the kids feel that it is the parents' results, not theirs.

Going to 2nd or 3rd choice secondary school is fine if
(1) parental guidance is available
(2) child is motivated anyway
(3) child is versatile and adaptable

The children have strengths we need to see other than academics.
