:goodpost: :please: Hahaha me too!! Very UNHAPPY!! Call me selfish :evil: hubby and I went through PSLE and my youngest taking PSLE next week!!! So wait till grandchildren turns :snooze:

Don't think if they were to implement it will be that fast. As for Ichigokun's concern, I also took PSLE, and it doesn't make any difference to me now, or even when I went for interviews. What's more, the scores are by cohorts and not your exact points, hence one cannot compare PSLE results across the board.

Like my time and my elder siblings time - best. Have PSLE, but no grades/scores. Nobody bothered as long as passed, except those who were from primary schools with no affiliated sec schools.[/quote]
This is new to me man! During my time, PSLE was already a big event and that was in the 70s. We were all looking forward(though anxiously) to results announcement day.

Have PSLE, but to sieve out the cream of the crop, have a few challenging questions.

Yah, mine in the 70s. No grades/scores on my cert. But 1980 started having scores.

As long as passed, can just continue to the affiliated sec school. Contented liao.

Have - I have my PSLE cert! But only shows name, shows \"passed\" (obviously - or else how to have cert!), school's name not on, only as a school embossed seal. No Birth Cert/NRIC number - how to certify it's ours, har? haha. But got full NRIC name lah.

Before T-score days, there were grades given. Perhaps you were in affiliated secondary school you did not notice. For non affiliation ones, using the grades estimation to put in 4-6 choices of schools.

PSLE cert is given before T-score days as it is a leaving certificate.

Wasn't that the practice in the 1990s? In the 1980s, my friends were still just sharing yesterday that they put in their secondary school selections only AFTER the results out.

I know definitely in the mid 2000s, they'd changed back to this similar system (after psle results).

What was the practice in the 1990s? :? I thought all along the selection of sec schools is based on PSLE results? Until of course they implemented this DSA thingy...
