2014 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

ngl2010:

Weight-age for the 4 subjects are the same. However, after the bell curve is applied to all 4 subjects, 1 mark in languages worth more than 1 mark in Maths or Science.

Hmm...This is interesting info. Thank you for sharing.

I think it is not so easy to score A* for English and Chinese. Therefore, the child with a* in eng & Chinese hv a higher T-score.


Mr Lim, don’t laugh… Correct or not?

Mr Lim, don't laugh.. Correct or not?

But comparative based on the stats given earlier,% of A and A* nation wide is higher for chinese and lowest for science. Doesn't that mean Sci toughest and should have higher score for getting A*?

Mr Lim, don't laugh.. Correct or not?

I always thought that it is easier to get A* for Maths & Science till I saw the comparative stats provided by Mr Lim. Am puzzled too

Wrote a piece for all those who didn't do well for their CA1. Please don't give up. PSLE is the real deal. This is just a wake up call.

PSLE is the REAL exam you will be sitting for...whether you do extremely well or marginally for your CA, SA or prelim, it is not counted.

:goodpost:

agree, the last hurdle and finishing line is PSLE
everyone (PSLE students and the parents) jiayou!
i keep encouraging DS that this is the last leap for his primary school, make it a good one.

Yup chloecube, janet_lee88 are right. Rather than worrying about which subject will pull T-scores up, let's just focus on helping DCs do their best and achieve their full potential in every subject - there is still time.


Good luck everyone! Let's continue to motivate, help and be gentle with each other. ( Er...and no need to laugh, ridicule or bang head.... )

SUPPOSING languages pull up t-score, are you going to just focus on them and neglect math and science? no right? every subject will have 100% attention. take the ca and sa as revision...whether up to expectations or not, just pay attention to the BIG PICTURE...don't get complacent if results turn out super but don't lose hope either. All the best.
