Maybe they worry that the children have too much fun and forget what they have revised! Even if after Children's Day, I doubt that the P6pers can really enjoy loh. Then some parents will complain why can't PSLE be before so Children can really enjoy Children's Day! Really tough man! :evil:

Is question 18 difficult? Heard that paper 1 is harder than paper 2.

See the 2011 PSLE thread moving so fast, quite scary leh. Next year thread can we don’t discuss questions & answers? I feel that what’s done is done, discussing the question & answer will make some parents & kids uneasy & will affect moral for the subsequent papers. Discussion on Q&A can be done after all the papers. This is just my personal feel.

I agree. Even reading the thread, i can feel the emotions of the parents and can see myself in their shoes next year....Anyone of you have any high level how to start to prepare our kids for next year? Though all the enrichment classes are going on, just feel that we should start to have a plan....


On a lighted note, already thinking about holidays after next year's PSLE!! super KS right?? :imcool:
Based on previous year's PSLE results (last Thur of Nov) and school posting dates (22 Dec - it's a weekend in 2012, so i think perhaps posting will be release 21st). I have DS that will be in P4 next year, so the only period possible would be 1st 2 weeks of Dec...urgh after PSLE results...hope we'll be able to have a happy hols.


Not sure if this is off topic - has anyone thought of DSA for the kids? My DD is in mainstream, do you guys think there's a chance for DSA? Perhaps someone should start a thread in DSA for \"DSA 2012\" :salute:

The paper is basically, okay… I took it a few hours ago… It was basically a tough paper 1, unless one knows how to manage their time, 50 minutes was just too short! I did not even have time to check! Lost 7 marks on PAPER 1 ALONE!! =(. Fortunately it was an fairly ok Paper 2

Question 18 is very simple. It was only 4 marks. Very weird paper 2, there was only 1! 5 Marks question, that was Question 6, alot of 4 marks question, the 5 marks question was on a graph.. So, not much of a problem , but maybe Question 16, might cause some problems for some students.

[quote=\"James Ang\"]Who in P6 this year can solve this 2009 PSLE Maths (5 marks) question? (*Page 72, Q16 in the new PSLE Maths 5 year series.)


Jim bought some chocolates and gave half of it to Ken. Ken bought some sweets and gave half of it to Jim. Jim ate 12 sweets and Ken ate 18 chocolates. The ratio of Jim's sweets to chocolates became 1 : 7 and the ratio of Ken's sweets to chocolates became 1:4. How many sweets did Ken buy?. (PSLE 2009, 5 marks)

The model methoid is a pain. just use ratio and basic algebra and there u hv it. I was in P6 last year and i solved that question in 4 minutes munching on popcorn. Most of my friends cud do it too. dun understand the fuss over the question :roll:

What is the answer for this qn? Tia
May I know the answer? Is it 60?[/quote]The answer is 68. The model method is pretty easy to understand.
