My guess is that this is a parent and also engaged to promote some services.

I don't understand why do you promote tuition centres so often and including links as well.
Especially if you have never tried these centres.

It's so sad. I feel that kids these days are under soo much more stress.

But I do believe that algebra method is accepted as long as it is properly presented. My niece also uses algebra method taught from tuition.

My son's Pri.5 teacher told the class that Algebra is strictly NOT allowed in her class, or else else no marks will be awarded for the workings.

I quote the teacher :

\"If I see let 'x' be oranges and 'y' be bananas, no method mark. If I see equations '2x + 3y = 50' also no method mark. If you use Algebra and you get correct, only answer marks will be given.\"

Is this true? I have been teaching my son Algebra since young and his Pri.3 and Pri.4 teacher did not make any such comment previously.

A few parents complained to the school, but the HOD backed the teacher. The HOD said that MOE officially accepts Algebra for use in the PSLE Math exam, but during the marking of the PSLE Math paper, no method marks will be credited if the final answer is wrong. In other words, the student has only 2 possible outcomes if they use Algebra, either get full marks or zero marks for the question. That is why the HOD set a policy to blanket ban Algebra.

Should we make an official complaint to MOE?

Plus, while the question posed by Mr. Patrick Tey refers to a \"better grade,\" MOE's response is much more cryptic.

Most likely none of the nan hua primary students managed to get their psle mathematics score overturned.

Amazing that all the 11 nan hua kids who always score above 95% for school mathematics exams and even have DSA to HCI for mathematics domain can be humbled by the 2022 psle mathematics paper. End up only score AL3 to AL5.

No wonder why nowdays advanced psle school mathematics training is getting popular. Like those offered by

Saw this zaobao forum letter lighting up the parents chatgroups. I am a bit confused. I thought this year's psle mathematics examination was easy?

The article is written by a group of parents from class 6A of nan hua primary. 11 students in the class always get AL 1 and always score 95 marks and above for the school mathematics examinations. Some even got direct school admission to HCI for mathematics domain. However the parents were shocked that the 11 kids only score AL 3, AL 4 and even AL 5 for the PSLE mathematics this year. The group of parents are requesting that MOE and SEAB do a more complete review the exam papers.

我们代表一群来自南华小学6A班的家长。我们的孩子（11人）一同参加今年小六离校考试会考，被安排坐在同一个课室里答题交卷。这次数学成绩公布后，我们都非常震惊地发现，这群数学成绩一直稳定在AL1（当中也不乏平时大考小考数学卷面分数一直保持在95分以上，还有在直接收生计划下到华中读数学）的孩子，在这次小六会考中，成绩都同时遭遇滑铁卢，从平时的AL1掉落到会考的AL3、AL4甚至AL5，下滑幅度是两至三个积分等级。如果个别孩子在这次考试中粗心大意导致马失前蹄，我们无可置喙，但一个班里近三分之一的学生出现相似的分数落差，就很难不叫人感到疑惑。

我们通过学校向教育部提交申诉信要求查核分数，却被告知以往的申诉基本上是徒劳的，因为新加坡考试与评鉴局网站申明计分系统一贯准确、过往申诉成功率几近于零。言下之意，是考评局非常不鼓励申诉，因为系统从未出错。

我们同时也被告知，家长查分只能看到申诉科目试卷各部分分数相加得分是否正确，而不能看到学生纸质的试卷答题卡，因此没有办法核实试卷答题卡是否会因为读卡机故障，或者答题卡有污渍等等意外情况发生，而出现分数误判。如果考评局对家长核查纸质卷面的呼声置之不理，简单以系统总是准确为由敷衍了之，这种缺乏透明度的操作，恐怕很难让人们信服。

和其他3万多名小六考生一样，我们的孩子为会考付出了持续不懈的努力。这次会考随着11月29日选择中学的最后日期的到来，也慢慢地落下了帷幕。我们非常认同教育部长所主张的，每一所学校都是好学校、一次考试不能定终生，也相信我们的孩子会吸取教训，从哪里跌倒就从哪里站起来。

小六会考是他们人生中的第一个关键考试，作为家长，我们希望这个关键考试对每个考生而言，都是公正、公平、透明的。我们无意挑战教育部和考评局的权威，只是希望能够增加教育评估系统的透明度，允许家长在申诉程序中核查卷面批改的情况，而不是冷冰冰几个数字的简单加减。

True story: CL got +2ALs in PSLE from P5 and P6 prelim.
Mummy: :sad:

In Jan of following year, mum was talking and sharing with other parents.
Child: PSLE was over and so long ago! I am alr in Sec 1. My friends dont even talk and ask abt it.

By Dec, with the appeal case saga, mum wonder: can appeal, if appeal will be better? CL can appeal or not?
Child: Huh? :?

So I think SEAB and MOE really need to issue a clarification asap to clear the air.

All that \"$53 X number of appeals\" gone down the drain.
At least there is some closure for the parents who appealed. Time for everyone to move on!
