At 91%, one is only left with room for ONE more mistake in MCQ and the score will slip to AL2.

If every subject incurs an additional MCQ mistake, 91% could become 89%, then an AL4 pointer slips to 8 pointer.

Honestly, if the kid or her parents are not aiming for top schools, then there is no need to be overly stressed.

I think the boundary condition and jump up/down an AL is going to be stressful throughout the scoring range (to the extent the child/parent incur stress at all). AL4 to AL8, AL8 to AL12, AL12 to AL16, or AL16 to AL20 (range covers some AMRs) is all the same for a whopping 4 raw marks difference in total marks out of 400. Likely, everyone is disappointed if you miss your target. The thing about any of the scenarios above is that your options available change soooo much (not just for those at the top).

The good news is statistically that won't happen much. The bad news is statistically it will happen. I've always believed that no matter how hard you prepare, there is still some good luck involved here. Even if the good luck is simply the absence of bad luck.

Anyways, best of luck to all those who are sitting for the exams this year. Hopefully, there will be no disruptions to the school year. In hindsight, last year's P6s were fortunate that the CB was early and they had a clean run through the prelims and PSLE...
