[quote=\"Dr Kiasu\"]Got DSA offer from another school. PSLE scored 269 (+3). Applied to RI sup intake and waiting for result. Reported to the DSA school today but dnt know whether need to buy the DSA school's uniform/books as still waiting for RI result. Any advice?

Maybe check with RI when is the latest date the result will be out?

Check this doc for RI supplementary intake info and dates.

Your chances to enter RI with 269 is very high, unless MOE clamp down on strict adherence to DSA. Meanwhile, your uniform and books, you can buy at a later date with your DSA school, if you can't get into RI. Check with your DSA school bookshop and uniform vendors about the sale dates in school.

My boy got 269, can get into RI?

With that score, your DS can go anywhere!
:congrats:

Thanks for your reply:) But he only scored A for English, A* for the other 3 subjects, distinction for HMT. Is \"+3\" counted for admission to RI?

[quote=\"pixiedust\"]jesschan, good to see more questions in this area !

Gosh, the 2 options are close.

I am not strong in this area, my gut feel :
1) 损害眼睛
2) 损伤心灵

What's the answer key says ?

损害 comes from P5A textbook...I believe it's from the chapter 给小主人的信.

In fact, for \"心灵\"，the best word is \"伤害\"，例如：这件事伤害了她幼小的心灵。“损伤心灵” 的搭配是不恰当的。事实上，上面的这两个词语搭配都不是很恰当。“损伤”，“损害”，和“伤害”这些词都既可以作动词，也可以作名词，例如：强烈的光线会对人的眼睛造成伤害【名词】/强烈的光线会伤害【动词】人的眼睛。但是如果脱离了整句话的语境而单独说“损伤/损害眼睛”都是不恰当的。[/quote]I have been coaching my own kid for 6 years (attending PSLE this year:)), and I indeed have found many cases that even worksheets/exam papers of some top schools have errors like this one. Sometimes parents are very confused by the answer given by the school teacher, and the worst case is - parents have to look for a forced interpretation for the answer given!

Just to share with KSPs here. My kid's Chinese dropped dramatically after he transferred to a so-called top school. Fortunately I coached him myself and successfully \"saved\" him. No intention to offend, but I have to say that our Chinese teachers must improve their teaching quality...

[quote=\"chatterbox321\"]any other questions in math or english paper to discuss?

Based on DD2's memory for 2011 PSLE Maths:


Paper 1 Q27
Five tins with same number of marbles in them. 18 marbles are taken from each of them and in the end, 5 of these tins have the same number of marbles as two of the original tins. How many marbles are there in each tin at first?

Paper 1 Q28
A person eats rice. In 8 days, he has half of the total amount of rice remaining. In 10 days, 900 grams of rice are left. How much rice does he have at first?

There are teachers and students that had bought tickets. The price of each ticket for a teacher is $20 while that of a student costs $8. The number of tickets bought by the teachers is 1/4 of the total number of tickets bought. The amount of money collected from the students is $624 more than that from the teachers. What is the total amount of money collected?

If the Qs are correct, here are the Ans:

P1Q27: 30 marbles
Working: 5 units - 90 = 2 units
1 unit = 30

P1Q28: 2400 grams
Working: 6 units = 900 grams
1 unit = 150 grams
150 X 16 = 2400 grams
hope tis helps
