Yes! There are upon 100 marks.... I just want to know will my child touch NT for his secondary course.... I just hope he can go for NA...as for E I guess is difficult...

BTW, NT means Normal Technical, NA means Norma Academic, E means Express...
Sorry anyone knows?? :imsorry:

Aggregate around 140 i guess? :xedfingers:

Not necessary so. It really depends on the cohort's performance.

@Evalim : please do NOT feel discouraged. The fact that he's from SAP sch may mean that the standard in the school is higher. Your child may surprise you and do better than expected. Just continue to encourage him and not to give up. This is not the time to be resigned to fate. Most important thing is that he has done his best.

@Eva, i also agree with schweppes. Dont think too much and worry yrself. You may not know yr ds is a "black horse" he unleashes it at this PSLE. Besides yr ds in Sap school standard is higher. Just 2-3 papers to go, jia you!

DS2 is very different from DS1, very playful & not serious in his studies! Is it true that the younger ones always give their parents more headaches & heart-aches??!! :frustrated: :slapshead:

Hi firefly,
Ke ke...Hope not. :xedfingers:
At the moment, DD2 is in P2 and is very cheeky & playful. Although we try our best not to compare but we can't help but notice that DD1 and DD2 are as different as chalk and cheese.

I am also worried about my chinese paper as it is my weakest subject. I spent the whole day memorising a chinese composition, just in case

You have come this far so press on for the last leg. For compo, since so last minute already, go memorize some good phrases and words for compo beginning and endings for a few different scenarios, you should be fine. Read some model compos. Just don't write out of point, write logical plot and remember to write compo number. If you are weak in Chinese, please choose picture compo, don't bother about ming ti. Unless the picture very cheem haha. And leave time to check for wrong words. All the best! :rahrah:

Hi Snow Crystal,
Thanks for sharing. Very good advice indeed!!

[Evalim]

Thanks everyone! Thanks for all of your warmth encouragement! I feel better now, at first I cannot accept that he might ended up in the NT cos I feel he can do better … I guess that is every parents feeling… feel that their child is still bright and can do better… but I feel that even if he really have to go NT… that means he should start from there… my child is not at that level yet… if I want him to do NA … it will burden him further… and he might fail all the way and lose his confidence or worst drop out from school… yes, I still have to encourage him all the way…

Thank you! ya! I believe he might be a black horse… and if any of your child is like mine… we pray hard too… I am sure they will do their best!!!
THANK YOU!!!

my DD is so stressed, she cries herself to sleep... HELp!!! how?!

Hi smartiemommy,
Oh dear... Guess your DD, being the top 10 in her school, probably has higher expectations of herself. Do continue to encourage & support her and help her to manage her expectations. The most important thing is her well-being. If she has given it her best shot, there will be no regrets. Take care & all the best to your DD. :rahrah:

Everyone— the 154 answer is the angle question asks for angle x. The answer is (180 - 26 = 154 degrees) i recall that it is the angle qstn with the equilateral triangles
