hi parents,

My son got A* for maths, A for English and A for Science , MT exempted and returned an aggregate of only 230 , whereas a class mate of his with the same results has an aggregate of 244…

Can anyparents enlighten me if there can be indeed a calculation error? the difference is just too wide …my elder son who set for the PSLE last year had exactly the same As and returned with 244

What could be the lowest points given to an A* and A…

Should I appeal to the Ministry to recheck?

Thanks vm
Desperate parents

Mellette, agreed with you. Let us don't concern of how the T-score will affect the result first but for easier paper esp Maths as 2nd day paper, it really help the kids to have confidence to tackle the next coming Science and Higher Chinese papers.

Yesterday I saw my DD keep smiling as at least she is happy that English and Maths paper is not as difficult as the prelim and esp after Maths paper, I can see her confidence level is more up as she saw her answers are mostly correct after discussing with friends and from forum feedback in the web. At least for Maths (One of the most time consuming and tricky paper) had cleared.

Gosh! If first 2 paper were to be easy for these above average kids... :!: :!: wondering science would be tough or not lei? I heard this is thr first batch science weightage diff from previous year ...truth or not? :? :?[/quote]
As mentioned by some parents earlier, weightage is the same. What I understand is that the Science paper content will be narrower and the questions will be fewer but tougher. They are expecting more in depth and precise answers.. :roll: :roll:

Hi Parents,

I have this weird feeling when my son told me that today’s PSLE Maths paper was dirt easy!! How did your kids measure up?
