Sad Person:
I am very sad that I didn't do we'll and my mom keeps on scolding me :spank: that I should have done better
Any way to comfort me?
The best way to comfort yourself and your mum is 3R's reflect, relax and resolve.
Reflect, what you had done, what should you have done;
Relax, take a deep breathe and willingly to accept what you have, be responsible for your own, we normally reap what we sow; failure is mother of success; Meanwhile, let time work wonder;
Resolve, make a decision to do better in secondary school; in my view, that is far more important than in primary level; to determine that you will do your best, by which, your mum most likely will see your effort and be proud of you.
It is good to take yoke when you are young.! -

Your grouping is more logical and should be more accurate than mine and. I'm guessing only as I don't have a kid taking PSLE this year.
:hi5: We have the same line of thinking! But I am thinking more like a group of 270 and above in one group, 250-270 in another group, 230-250 another and so on... Invisible hand has done something behind the scene and layman like me can only see the effect now.sinoboy:
Maybe there is a grouping of adjusted scores like 260 and above one group, 230 to 250 one group, 210 and below one group and not many scores in-between so that it is easier to make secondary school choices.
Maybe this way students will be 'encouraged' to choose a school depending on their 'ability'. Once chosen, not easy to appeal to topper school because next T score required would be a big jump. No changing just like those who accepted IP offers or DSA offers. No changing as all schools are good. Just a speculation. :scratchhead: -
firstly, i am so sorry for u all.any changes/trick of paper setting?

I like your idea (those highlighted in blue) and think this should be the way to go..

I still think that they should mix-up all the students 'ability'. Top Ivies look for diversity (more on background and real life experiences of the students) NOT so much on result . The problem is difficult to have a system to do that. If conduct interview, people would still think that it is kelong and not a level playing field...Also, for a P6 kid, how to have good real life experience to share? :? -

We worked hard this year...but Lady Luck wasn't with us...so no choice but to brave on...it was very tough to face this setback...but it's over. Thinking about it only makes things worse. Of course nobody would be in the right frame of mind to think positive those 2 days.Since then I've learnt not to take anything for granted and check, double check, cross check. Other exam skills like going through the paper quickly and leaving those toughies to the end (circle/mark the question number so don't omit).
This is just one exam, there will be more significant ones to come. Take in lessons learnt. Not to savor but apply.
There may be kids who just don't do we'll in exams. So be it. There is a niche for everyone. The one who didn't do well in psle this year may go on to be SG's greatest scientist yet, or a major bizman in future.
Learn where your strengths are and use your gifts wisely. All the best to you! -

Yes, like ACS (baker) and Junior, SCGS is under Novena.
SCGS should be considered under Novena. Like MGS, SCGS does not produce PSLE top scorers in Singapore. Rather, the cohort performs well as a whole and this can be seen from their % of quality passes.
Hi lee_yl, Do you mind to share what is the quality pass % and % for scoring 250 n above for SCGS ? -
Yes, dd also worked very hard, ESP math. Do correct me if i’m wrong. As I observed and analyzed, for dd and her friends, it seemed like math pulled them down. THose who got A in sch exams, got a B, and B became C . Those all along had A distinction said the psle math was no sweat. So if those higher end kids did v well for math, and maybe quite many of them, maybe the bell curve was shifted up. I don’t know how true it is.
I’m analyzing this whole thing because I have another child doing this 2 years later. And to see how best to help her and the strategies involved.
Dd woke up and asked me "mum, is it because I didn’t work hard enough, that’s why I didn’t do well" haiz… I told her she has done her best, that’s enough. -
At Victoria open house.haha so kiasu

Invisible hand has done something behind the scene and layman like me can only see the effect now.[/quote]I beg different view here. This year, the dragon cohort has increased 3000 more candidates, that is about 6% increase. Notably, this year's percentage into Express stream is slightly higher than last year. While top scorers which are above 250 are constantly about 10% of each cohort; while top 3%, EESIS awarded students are constantly >260-263, so the increase of any particular T score group is no surprise.

Hmm..Transition from 2011-2012,
1) all schools have become good schools
2) More students attending enrichment centres or the enrichment centres have become much better than last year
3) Kiasuparent's spirit have gone went up and hit the top notch this year :yikes: or there are more kiasuparents than last year.
From 2011 to 2012, the transition has went up way over the top and unbelievably significant!
Or there are something else? like T-score calculation adjustment?
Furthermore, T-score is also a placement score to allocate students into secondary schools. The increase of T -score from year to year has no correlation with the academic ability of whole cohort from year to year; You will notice that the COP of schools in fact do not fluctuate that much, rather, the different T score of different schools within the same cohort speaks volume of schools'ability in producing academically able students. -
