      My DD, whose best subject is Math (typically >=95 in a known school) says that both papers were hard, though she managed all questions with some lost marks. She thinks the gauge of difficulty is not based on whether she could answer the questions or not, but rather the amount of time/effort put in for each question in comparison to the past PSLE or other school prelim papers. And I trust her judgement when she said that.

      Same comment from my DS..Mostly fraction topics...

          I think a few mentioned 4cm2 for qn 30.

            I am counting down to the collection of the result slip. Three week to go. Can't wait to see what DD will get for

            EL, though she didn't do well this time round. Selection of schools within 7 days is going to be stressful for us. We have no schools in mind just yet.

            Hi! How do you know that your dd didn't do well?

            Based on her performance strictly. She made quite a few mistakes which she should not have and would not usually make. Quite some marks gone already. Composition, she felt it was not as well written.
            So my judgement is simply based on her personal performance so far.

              Can anyone share the question for Q17 a & b please?

              This question looks very tough.

              Thank you.

                My DD felt that this year's paper was tougher than the previous years.

                    The questions states that the bulbs are placed on the two breadths and one length of the rectangle, not the entire rectangle as illustrated

                      Based on an earlier post somewhere, I think someone mentioned that it was stated in the question that the bulbs were lined on 3 sides and even specified the labelled sides.
