Don't worry, students usually do better in the actual PSLE. Also, Schs always set a tougher exam Prelim papers.
Temasek Sec is a good value-added sch, is in Band 3 updated.
Best of luck to yr kid !

Not really aiming tho.. but i think thru affiliation, my girl is likely to go to St Marg Sec school which i have no complaint either


Unless she did really well, we can try Cedar as it is really near our house..

St Marg is a consistently Gold Valued-Added sch.
If yr child can qualify for Cedar, why not. It's a renowned sch.
Gd Luck!

St Margaret is a good school, band 4. Cedar is even better, band 1 & near your place. All the best to your DD!

If the paper is set 'easy', the child may let down his/her defense and be careless...a bit over-confident. But if paper is set difficult, child may also lose confidence as time is tight and yet not being able to move on smoothly.

Agree on the easy part. Was talking to some distant relative over the weekends as her ds just sat for PSLE. She mentioned that her ds always score A1 in maths in his school.However when he saw the PSLE questions, he was :yikes: and in the end, he didn't attempt 3 questions in problem sums...

My initial impression was wow A1 in maths.... That is very good and no easy feat. Looking at my p5, she only manage to be in 80 range so far and we already have \"no complaints\" and hope she can sustain since the cohort average is 50+ with many failures.... But of course there are the good ones achieving 90+ as well.

I didn't manage to get the school he is in. But based on the CCA achievement that she mentioned, I suspect he is in one of the neighbourhood schools in bedok reservoir area.

Frankly.... I am back to my confusion of different paper standards across primary schools in P5 and P6 and how that is that modulated for DSA purpose as well when the desired sec school mentioned the overall results must be 70% and above???? If paper standard is easy, yes 70% is easy. But if the paper standard is high, then how???? How can they ensure the 70% is a apple to apple comparison???
