<![CDATA[PSLE FOundation papers exchange]]>I realise there are no other school test papers for foundation students that i can buy or download…


If there are, can someone pls advise the link or the address of the store…

If not, can i suggest that we, parents, get together to exchange papers…I do not need top school papers…all i need is some other school foundation exam papers for my son to get enough test paper practice for his coming psle…

I hope to get as many papers as possible…would anyone who have such papers scan them for me…i’ll exchange my son’s papers…

If i can get more than 7, i’ll set up a online platform too so parents like us, who are in the minority, can benefit…I believe it’ll help many…

Pls help…i’m kinda desperate…tkx

Dear Parent

I understand that you all too have kids taking foundation. May I check if you have some past year psle exam paper to share? Do drop me a email if you do have. Thank a lot. My address : tanglisa@rocketmail.com
You can get the past year psle exam paper from Popular. However, I will recommend that you ask the school to get exam papers from other schools for your kid to try.

Also, you can ask your kid to try the questions in the P5 assignment books (standard level not foundation level). For foundation papers, they tend to focus more on the basic of the subject. Do not give your kid those difficult questions as it will confuse them even more !

What is important is the kid understand the basic first.

There is a news article in The New Paper dated 01 Dec 2011, about a boy who does well in PSLE despite both parents being in jail.


The boy scored Grade 1 in Foundation Malay, Foundation Mathematics, Foundation Science and Grade 2 in Foundation English. He gets a score of 159, which allows him to choose between N(T) and N(A). He choose N(T) eventually.

Parents, we should not feel despair if our child has to sit for foundation subjects for the PSLE. If the boy can do well without his parents around to give him support and guidance, I am sure our child can perform equally well or better with us around him/her. We should encourage our child not to give up and to give their best shot for the PSLE.

Also, doing all 4 subjects at foundation level doesn't mean that the child will end up in N(T). If your child scores well like the boy in the news article, he/she will still has a chance to get into N(A) stream.

I know of students who do 4 subjects in standard level and score below 145. Eventually these students landed in N(T) stream.

The news article can be found here, but you need to have a account to read the full news.

Thanks for the link.There isn't much info there,they didn't mention whether the kid will go to NA if he takes up 1 foundation subject.I understand that a kid will not be able to cope with express if he's in foundation,that's the reason why they're in NA/NT.It's tough to be transferred from NA to express.


Thanks for sharing
It is easier to transfer from NA to Express in Sec 1, as the number of subjects are the same and the contents are 70% to 90% similiar (of course Express exam papers are more difficult). The gap will be wider when in Sec 2. Hence, students should grab the opportunity to transfer stream during Sec 1.

It is more difficult to transfer from NT to NA as NT does not have subjects like Lit, Hist and Geog. Also, 2nd Lang in NT is Basic level, and there is a gap as compared to NA 2nd Lang.

Hi Kitty2,


At end of P4, school will recommend subjects combination based on pupils' results. Parents can choose subjects combination.

But end of P5, pupils have to take the subjects combination decided by school (and not parents).

I wonder you can opt out if one is being asked to go to foundation?If one takes up a foundation subject,he'll go to NA,right?My friend is concern of her son too.


Thanks
From what I understand from my nephew's school, the school will only ask the student to do the subject in foundation level if the student has been scoring badly (<20) on the subject since P4.

Even if the kid opt out of foundation and does the subject in standard level, there is still a chance for him to go NA or NT if the kid did not do well in PSLE.

If the kid is posted to NA in Sec 1 but did well in Sec 1, he/she can still goes to Express in Sec 2. Similiarily a student in Express stream who cannot cope with the curriculum can still end up in Sec 2 NA.

Not much info was given by MOE on how students fare when they do one subject in foundation level and 3 other subjects in standard level or other combinations. There is no indication whether these students can get into Express or can only go to NA / NT. You may want to check with your child's school.

If your child really cannot cope with the fast pace curriculum in standard level, I think it is best to let him/her study at a pace suitable for him/her. Otherwise the kid will lose interest in study and that is even worst. This is what I plan to let my nephew do if the school ask him to do the subject(s) in the foundation level. His results since P4 really \"cannot make it\" despite tutions and extra-lessons from the school. :sad:
