2015 PSLE Discussion and Strategies

[janet88]

I wonder why SEAB made this decision only now. as parents, we would like to see the kind of challenging questions set. although the same questions won’t appear again, at least there is some idea…but what I would like to see are the answers which exam markers expect.

Good point. Do the exam papers come with model answers? I would like to see the model answers at least for Science.

Model answers could be written by the publishers. If so, then it is no different from other assessment books.

In any case, releasing the actual papers has its pros and cons. Kiasu parents won't quit being kiasu even if they see the actual questions.

if seab releases the psle exam scripts, it should also release the answers from the markers and NOT those from publishers. if there are model answers from markers, we can show & remind our kids what the markers are looking for…the so-called key words for science.

No lah...I didn't say I am buying 2 copies...some parents who went to popular junction 8 snapped up several copies....and when asked, said they are buying 2 copies....for home and school use. Why do they need to buy 2? Schools will get the the students...super ks :slapshead:

Maybe not other parents, but I will stop being kiasu for sure. Knowing what to expect and getting my child ready for it - that will take a huge load off my back.

Hi Janet88, I was referring to the parents in the newspaper report, certainly I'm not referring to you. :rotflmao:

Pressure from parents n maybe in the past they don't want parents to challenge them as PSLE is locally set n marked.

Just my thinking only.
