Some primary schools offer Maths Olympiad training to the high-ability students as early as Primary 2 or 3. When these children reach upper primary, they will be sent for MO competitions. Students with MO competition experience will be used to challenging MO Maths questions and able to breeze through in PSLE Maths.

hi sembgal,

Yes, we 2019 P6 parents (born 2007) are fully aware that MO training start as early as beginning of P2.
Many P6 parents already know, what u wrote is not something new to us

What we want (try) to point out is -
Yes, students can use their MO Gold / Platinum / Silver / Bronze or whatever championship results they obtained, to apply for DSA into Top schools. Under DSA, u can use any cert or medal or award, to showcase your Maths talent, to whichever DSA school u applying for. That comes under DSA exercise.

However, now we are talking about something else, ie. a National PSLE Written exam paper

it is Not fair for SEAB to set so many 4 m or 5 m questions, that are slanted towards MO style of questions,
because Majority of average, (Non-GEP and Non-High ability ) P6 students did NOT receive FREE in-house MO training, apart, from the 2 privileged group : (GEP students + High ability Mainstream students)

Since a forummer mentioned somewhere before, under this thread, that SEAB had set PSLE exam questions 2 years ago, and knowing that many P6 students have no opportunity to attend MO training, yet the slant of PSLE heavy weightage 4 m or 5 m questions is towards Heuristics / MO style of questions, at the very least, minimum, SEAB or MOE ought to have informed ALL P6 students, via their Maths HOD or via their own Maths Class Teachers in school, to alert ALL 2019 P6 students in advance (from January 2019, Term 1) that

- MO style of questions, IS INCLUDED and will be Tested, inside 2019 PSLE Maths examination syllabus.

And

NOT just remain, keep quiet, many P6 students do not know, not aware, until last Friday (27 Sep), then appeared, got stunned, stoned, etc. If MOE had informed P6 student in the beginning of this year 2019 January P6, at least, students still have one full year ahead to prepare, by going for outside MO training, even if they are Not selected by their own school to attend free training, because they do Not fall under the \"High-ability\" category. They fall only under the \"Average\" or \"Mixed-Ability\" Mainstream (Non-GEP) category

Hi, GEP student here. I agree, but have some points of my own.

1. Our Math isn't actually MO. They're very different :I (i tried MO: didn't work out)
2. Some MO people are actually a little unfamiliar with the PSLE questions (not talking abt this year's pattern, etc. qns)
3.If you want MO in GEP, you have to get it yourself unless you are in the MO activity in P5 and to enter you must have a certain level of MO knowledge I believe.

Agree that the paper is unnecessarily hard though.

2019 PSLE Maths paper 1 is challenging and those high-ability students in Maths should find it manageable.

Out for recess.

Did SEAB mix up the GEP assessment paper with the PSLE paper???? Not again!!! sigh......

hi, gep dude here...

can confirm the math paper is very hard

can also confirm that the gep assessment paper is harder lol

2019 is really turning out to be a tough year.Lets just hope that Science and Mother Tongue are easier than English and Math...

I doubt so... The papers have been relatively easy for a few years now, so I would be inclined to think all the papers for this year are hard...? Hope not though... :?:
