For all those parents questioning the necessity for such ridiculously difficult questions on the maths paper - the simple answer is that it's to find the top, top students and separate them from the rest. Singaporean students are already the top in the world, if all the exams had the \"normal\" questions, there will be a large percentage who will do very well in the exams, and then there will be a large percentage of students who will do very well in their T-scores.
But since, PSLE is NOT a competition with yourself, but with others, the examiners will need these sort of questions to separate out the top, top from the top to the not quite top to the ok students.
As parents, we should tell our kids not to worry about these questions, to do what they can and move on - this is what I've told my kids - my DS got all these questions wrong, but he didn't cry over it - we know he's done his best and these questions would have been a struggle for him - maybe he'll understand it next year or in two years time or maybe never, but that's ok - move on and learn - focus on what you can do and what you know and do it to the best of your ability!

My two kids have already went through PSLE few years back, one is an above average student, the other is a below average student. When they encountered tough questions, they will never cry over it as we have always tell them, what's important is they never give up trying, they have done their best and have no regrets. My daughter sat for her O Levels last year, many had complained that the Maths questions are completely different from the TYS. My daughter told us that the questions are indeed weird but the formulae and applications to be used are the same so don't overthink. Just apply what you have learnt.

Anyone know how well zhss did for 2017 O levels. What is the percentage for 5 distinction and above or how many got 6A1 and above? Thanks. Heard many schools did well this year.

I am a student who took my O Levels in 2017. I just got back my O Level results yesterday. However, I was late for the assembly so I missed out on some information that my principal mentioned in the hall. If anyone has detailed information of the distinction rate and passing rate of each subject, do message me. Thank you.

Since you are their 2017 batch student, why dont you ask your schoolmates?

Is the one getting 229 already got dsa got into the school? I heard from my husband that his colleague’s daughter cannot get into TKGS which is her 1st choice and yet got into her 2nd choice St. Margaret instead. But St. Margaret cop is higher than TKGS. So it is quite weird actually.

Anyone knows where to get Bedok South Sec Sch uniform other than getting from the school? Thanks

Does anyone know where to get SACSS school uniform other than buying from the school? Thanks

Does any of you know the NA students performance in their 2015 O level? What is the percentage of the NA students getting into Polytechnic? How’s the overall performance?



Thanks much

Hi


Does anyone has the information on the NA students performance in the O levels, how many percentage of the NA students are eligible for Polytechnic after their O levels in 2015? Does the school concentrate on Express more and neglect the NA students?

Thanks
