PSLE student:

They will see the whole cohort's average. IF it is high, the A* requirement will be raised. IF it is low, the A* requirement will be lowered.

AND the aggregate score is not 3/4 X T-marks/400. It is how many percent the paper counts. For the past few years, [color=#0000FF]MT has always been the highest percentage.

There is no bias on any subject. Equal weighting

Not about bias, its about the difficulty of the subject. MT papers are usually harder so perhaps out of 100%, it weighs 35%.(NOT SURE about the percentage but my MT and form teacher said that YES, MT weighs the MOST). NOT VERY SURE THOUGH.

[quote=\"fifiyeo\"]DS painting in his room since it's still too hot to be running around outside. He spotted 4 wrong answers already and when he found out, his reaction was \"what? wrong again? Aiyo!\" then back to his desk busy chatting and painting with his little brother. Don't seem very affected. Even told me what's done cannot be undone so no need to think about it just concentrate on the next paper.

That's the spirit!!! All the best for the rest of his papers!! Very matured!!

Thanks!

My silly boy even thinks he will wait for his papers to be return and do his corrections!! Hahahaha![/quote] What a lovely boy!!

At the end of the day, it's good to remind ourselves that our kids are just innocent and childlike 12-year-olds!

How did you get 32 degrees?[/quote](90-26) divided by 2 = 32

[maychang]

But isnt it 90°-(26*2)° divided by 2, which gives 90°?? :scratchhead:
