fr p4 to p5 .. results dropped

[phtthp]

Hi potter,


Not sure if your P5 son’s primary school allow zuowen scripts to be returned & brought home, for parents to review.

If yes, take a look at his HCL zuowen, see what mistakes were made.

If no, book a session with his HCL Teacher, go down school to meet Tr, ask Tr show you his P5 SA1 zuowen script : find out what kind of
mistakes he made, & also ask Tr for step-by-step guidance how to overcome problem, in the coming-up next October SA2, 4 months’ time down the road.

are there many primary schools taking CA1, in 2018 P5 ?

For Chinese, the 'drop' is understandable. I won't use the word expected since some kids have really strong foundation and/or are adaptable.


There are new sections like 完成对话 and the types of mcq questions is expanded to 句子选择 choosing the appropriate sentence for the given phrase, 词语解释 where students have to choose the meaning that best fits the given phrase, 虚词选择 identify the appropriate functional words to use in the missing parts of given sentence.

Some schools do not introduce the 阅读理解（二）A组 section which is like graphic stimulus were there's a notice/advertisement followed by mcq questions and email/note/invitation card writing.

For parents who did not know the above, were you 'overwhelmed' when you read that? And I haven't even mentioned the other components

Understand what they are going through, find out what problems and challenges they are facing, give them time, show them support :rahrah: , shower them with love :hugs: . It's not just a straightforward case of work hard and pay attention = good results.

Yes need to 审题 for HCL Compo. There are specific MOE exam scope that students have to abide that a certified MOE teacher/ PSLE marker/examiner like myself would know. I research into this aspect and conduct June Holiday Course on that annually to train that skill. You’re welcome to know more.

sigh... my DD results did not improve after the drop from P5 SA1.

in SA1, her marks is as below :
Eng : 69 (p4 = 82)
MT : 68 (P4 = 70)
Sci : 72 (P4 = 69)
Math : 42 (P4 = 72)

SA2 results :
Eng : 50
MT : 55
Sci : 72.5
Math : 67.5
she says in her class, only less than 6 students pass Eng & MT overall.
and for Eng Paper 2, all in her class failed. (her class is in the 4th class of P5)
in the top 2 classes, about 70% also fail Eng Paper 2. not sure if they set a tough paper.
dont know how to survive P6 next year....

Sorry, find it hard to believe that inside the Top 2 classes, in your school … 70 percent failed English paper 2

[Zappy]

How many classes are there in total in your kid’s school…?

[mylilgirl]

I only heard of more than half a class fail HCL due to extremely stringent marking in compo. Half a class (top classes) failing English is something unheard of.

[chenlaoshi]

Some schools reveal the class and/or level average while others provide the percentile rank for each subject's score in the report book. These can offer an insight as to how tough the papers were.


Meanwhile, looking 'deeper' into the CL result, there was a decrease in 26 marks out of 200 (Paper 1, Paper 2, Oral, LC). I presume majority of these marks were lost in Paper 2? If not, then it is necessary to look into the child's progress in other components, esp. oral and compo - because, theoretically, with practices, improvements - albeit how small they may be, should be shown in these 2 components (of course, there may be mitigating factors like tough/uncommon topic).

Do try and find out more from the respective subject teachers if there's PTM this/next week.
