PSLE 2012 - Results Discussion

Yes you are right, Toughlifemummy, I strongly think those schools who didn't do well should analyse the Sch exam vs psle std.
Yesterday, I really felt like marching into dd sch to have a good talk with the principal why the class t score was about low 22x. But my neighbor who saw her in the morning regarding the selection of sec Schs had a lecture from her that all schools are good schools. So I changed my mind.
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.

Do you have statistics on how many of these top scoring students are true blue 12 year old locals?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!! -
That’s why they got into GEP in the first place…

Not surprising some are even 13 or 14 years old non local. Competing with 12 years old local kids. -

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?
