Ya, lotus, don’t know what s their secret. Last year aft the psle release, they had a very big page to advertise and congratulate the past top scorers from there…

Do you have statistics on how many of these top scoring students are true blue 12 year old locals?
Not surprising some are even 13 or 14 years old non local. Competing with 12 years old local kids. -

Gepper r well prepared for scoring psle!! >90% top scorer with 270's in nanyang n also the one who scored 285 r gepper !
In fact, geppers r more well prepared than mainstreamers! Both mainstreamers n geppers prepared psle at the same time in their p6 in around July!! -

with this forum, the principals of some schools who didn't want to announce the top scorers in their school, wonder how they feel. Parents ask they refused to tell. Come on be open minded.
agree with you. my teacher also refused to tell me. -
The school nearby my residence, top PSLE scorer is from a country with one billion population and 14 years old.

What i observed is there are many parents and kids who are caught by surprise with the big difference betw actual and expected psle t-scores as there seemed to be a big drop in t-score this year, affecting many people. If my observation is correct, then i would say this yr’s 220+ could be last yr 230+ and so forth and not that the kid’s performance has dropped. Guess the parents and the kids would feel better that way and move on.

Really ah..die..I never expose those Olympiad Maths to my kids and neither does the school. I trust the schools to teach whatever needed to score in exam incl PSLE. If that is the case, does that mean I shd start researching on such courses?
I also suspect those out of the box kind of questions, like Olympiad math quests came out during psle. Dd and most of her classmates were not exposed to these kind of questions before, so sort of stumbled a little. I have not seen those questions in her math file. Dd and friends, aft the math paper, came out paled face and said 'this time sure die'. But also hrd many pupils from some schools saying it's easy.
Those \"good\" neighborhood schools might also have good methods and strategies to help their pupils achieve such stunning% and high agg.
Dunno if I'm analyzing correctly.

That's why they got into GEP in the first place...
See that is the problem! When I asked why many geppers can't score well though some did very well! The geppers' mom will jump n say the geppers r not prepared for scoring psle!! R u saying they r not truly gifted? -

There are two countries with one billion population or more. Which one?
But either one, a lot of locals cannot beat as they are older. Hope they look seriously into this inequality. :roll: -
Perhaps out of 569 GEP, the most 10% to 20% make it to the top among the top. Wasting tax payers’ money, grooming them and yet only few can make it.
