MandyMummy:

How's the reporting time like this Fri? Any info from the school?

Hi MandyMummy,
Still no news from the sch yet.

For Q43B, the answer in the answer key is Material A. It reflected the most light.
However, DD's answer is Material C. It reflected light at the furthest distance from the light source. So....:scratchhead: Any other input?

My ds also put C.

Answer provided for 38c is wrong.

Question 42 itself is weird. Answered provided is correct according to the question. But the device really does not make any sense in the first place.

Hi ngbrdad,
Thanks for your input.

Yes, I agree the answer for Henry Park Science prelim Q38C is incorrect. Block A and Block C are both 50g so given answer doesn't seem applicable.

I have uploaded a copy of the CHIJ 2011 answer key (Paper 1 and 2) for your reference. Hope that this will help.

Hi andante,
Just for your info. The answer sheet supplied by Jeremy had no answers for Q16 to Q30 for paper 1 @ CHIJ St Nic 2011 P6 Prelim Maths.
For paper 2, answers for Q3 and Q18 are different from your list.
Answer given for Paper 2 Q3 -> 2207 and Paper 2 Q18 -> 0954 h

Paper 2 Q3
Sheela was 25 min late for a movie. She was at the cinema at 8.15 p.m. If the duration of the movie was 137 min, at what time did the movie end?
Leave your answer in the 24-hour clock.

Paper 2 Q18
A rectangular tank measuring 40 cm by 30 cm by 40 cm was 1/6 filled with water. At 0930 h, Tap X with water flowing out at a rate of 3 l per minute was turned on. AT 0932 h, Tap Y was turned on to drained water out of the tank at a fixed rate. At 0943 h, the tank was 75% filled with water. AT what time would the tank be filled to the brim?

that some KSP members will come and point out the correct answers for these 2 questions. Thks.

Answer provided for 38c is wrong.


Hi - could I find out what should be the right answer for 38c. My son also put the material as iron. Of course - I find the way the explanation is worded in the model answer a bit wierd.

Thanks in advance

Hi Vanilla Cake,
Thanks for pointing out the discrepacies in answers. Will check out the answer once DD has done this set of paper.

was told by ds that PSLE placed more weightage for languages… my son’s weakest subj is Chinese. Is it true and how exactly how will this affect the T score? My son’s prelim total aggregate is pulled down by his Chinese.

All 4 subjects are of equal weightage, no more, no less.......
but since the mean of MT (chinese) is relatively high as compared to the other 3 subjects....... all these yrs....
a low marks in chinese will def do more harm to the agg t-score.

sigh.... too late to do anything now. What difference can he make in his chinese in just two weeks? His marks in math and Sci are actually higher than the top girl in his school but his Tscore is about 10 marks behind her.
