Thank you all for your encouraging comments. Although PSLE doesn’t define the university admissions. A good secondary school and JC does give the kids a headstart for the top uni courses. My son’s math tutor told us that Kids in top schools are given tough Math and Science papers that prepares them for the OLevels and Alevels. Unfortunately our kids have lost it in that aspect despite putting in the effort. The next few years are going to be a struggle for them and we are not financially well off to consider sending them abroad. Although I am putting a bravefront for my son, I see the future will be a struggle for him and he cannot afford to slip up.

Thanks, In this case, I don’t see any point in appealing.

Thank you but can they lower the marks after review?

Giving you and your son virtual hugs ....What a terrible situation for our kids! He was so confident after his MT paper and his tutor even expected him to get either High A or an A* based on his feedback so we were shocked that he scored B in his MT. I really don't know which component he lost because we cross verified his answers with his tutor and she mentioned that they were correct. The despair of not knowing where it went wrong is perhaps the worst feeling.

He got 3 As and B in MT

My son is an extremely knowledgeable child and he was constantly doing well in school and was scoring over 95 in top school papers so we were shocked by his PSLE results today. He only scored 236 with B in MT. Although we supported him emotionally for his marks, my heart breaks everytime I see him because he worked so hard and now he thinks he is not as intelligent as he thought he was. I am in tears as I write this post. Kids whom he outperformed in school were called for scoring above 250. His confidence is shaken and I am worried that he will give up working hard in studies as he thinks hard work didn’t pay and although I put a brave front when he is around, I have been crying as well and feel so bad that such an intelligent child has to go through so much pain at this age. How do I overcome this and how do I help my son overcome this and do well in Secondary?

Any feedback on today’s science paper?

Paper 1 difficult than paper 2. Not as difficult as prelims and top school papers.


Overall my son feedback

What's the 3 word phase answer for the comprehension passage?

Time flew past

My son says the question was pick 3 word line x to line 39 that means regret? And he answered twinge of regret.
