Hi, my worry is about whether having extra time in Psle will make my child inferior to the students with the same AL scores. Understand that if I apply the extra time for one subject for my child (we went for the test with psychologist and have received a valid medical report), there will be an annotation on his result to indicate there is special arrangements made for this subjects. In this case, will this annotation on his result affect the secondary school posting process in any way?
For example, two students have the same AL score, is it possible that the school will select the student that without an annotation in result over my child?
Or 2 students, 1 is having a lower AL score and without annotation in the result, but my child is having a higher AL score but with an annotation on his result, will the secondary school intake the student having lower AL but without annotation over my child?
Is there an explicit or implicit rule in the intaking process when there is an annotation in the Psle score?
Thanks!

Hi, has any parent gotten request for extra time for psle successfully for kid with mild dyslexia kid diagnosed by das?

slmkhoo:

I think you can still ask for extra time by submitting the latest report you have. They are valid for 2-3 yrs. On the other hand, you may want to let her try coping with the normal time at first and see how she goes. As she gets older and more mature, she may be able to cope better. You can always apply later; I think MOE understands that the disabilities don't disappear just because she has been discharged. Another thing to consider is that exam times get longer the higher she goes, and extra time could be counter-productive if she gets tired or bored, and she will also have to be separated from her class. My daughter is not getting extra time as she is already so tired at the end of the exam (3 hrs now!), and her problem is finding enough to write, not running out of time. We also think that she is more likely to focus on the paper if she is surrounded by others who are all scribbling away, rather than if she in a room with only an invigilator (who will be just as bored).

The clinical psychologist has discharged my daughter. I am worried if she might need extra time for her exams in secondary school. Has any parent encountered the same scenario?

She was posted to SGH for a few months. Opening clinic 2nd week of Nov. I've already fixed my appt with her on her first day at work.

Dr Law recommended adding the prompter when she prepared the report last year.
For the first PSLE paper today, my daughter told me that one of the invigilators tapped on the table when she saw my daughter looking elsewhere.

I'm waiting for an appt to see the psychologist. I called the asst. To my girl's doctor and she told me the psychologist is in the same clinic. The psychologist has been informed of our case and will call me once there's a cancellation. I told the asst. That I'll wait till year end before I consider going private. And if the school cannot apply to SEAB FOR me, I'll do it myself. Previously, I didn't know we can do it ourselves. I thought we have to go through school application.


And I want to thanks all the supportive mummies here. For hearing me out and giving advice. Thank you.

for application of extra time or anything related to national exams, MOE/SEAB do not want have direct communication with the parents. schools are tasked to act for parents and MOE customer service officers will ask parents to contact the child's form teacher.
I sincerely hope your daughter will be able to get an appointment very soon and put your mind at rest.
