[quote=MyPillow post_id=1997795 time=1601967624 user_id=70594]In summary , this the feel /view i see:
Eng & Chinese - Manageable (chinese not as hard as expected )
Math - Not a real Difficult papers throughout but defintely not that easy & straight forward
Sci - some says easier than last 2yr/ manageable ; some say difficult (?)

last time for my elder child few yrs ago , we estimated based :
Eng , Chinese , Math + sci avg score for two subjects . over 100% --> i did manage to get the T score -quite a close estimation for us then

Do you mean...

Take for example raw score are:-
- EL : 90
- CL : 92
- Maths : 98
- Science : 86

Estimated Aggregate will be 90 + 92 + (98+86)/2 = 274

This is a gap from the estimation 0.70 to 0.75 (if I take midpoint of 0.725), where (90+92+98+86) x 0.725 = 265

yes i used this simple way, it worked out for us few yrs ago. a parent told me about this old rumoured calculation earlier. bascically it is x 0.75 . :scratchhead: But we must guess the kid score based on their papers mistakes made
I know abt the formula of T score, but din use . cos unknown sd and avg marks etc[/quote]Yes, it’s in a way 0.75 estimation, which I thot is too optimistic. I think 0.725-0.73 Is more realistic.

For HC, anyone know what is the distinction mark ranging from based in past years? Is it 75% or 80%?

Above 80 for distinction, to add 3 points.

For Qn 26, (MCQ) about light sensor, wooden block and lamp, anyone who answered 4 ?

The score will be what the score will be. In my view, there’s no point in trying to calculate it now or going over the questions. What’s done is done. Now try to focus on something else until results day!

To ans ash103 question, i also put 4, but don think its correct

I agree! Let’s take a well-deserved break and do what we have not been able to do due to PSLE. Good luck to those taking HMTL tomorrow! Last paper :rahrah: jiayou!

Thanks for your encouragement to me always. Appreciate it.

I am just glad PSLE is over. Can focus on other things, like tidying up the house where there are papers all around. About secondary school subjects, about how to spend these 3 months where cannot travel overseas.

Ya, all sure those students who say easy is from?
TOP class for Math.

😂😂😂 Yeah, top in math.
Everyone in this forum says easy until a friend (son taking psle next year) exclaimed “wahh this year cohort henggg ah, all so easy. Read online forum all say easy chicken feet. Next year my turn confirm super tough.”

I was like (rolling eyes), Yup this year all student will get a place in IP school because papers too easy.[/quote]Ya lor, I wonder those student usually get 60plus or 70 plus think easy too? I think next year will be easy too. Bec Covid affected primary 5 student too, primary 5 cover the most topics as compare primary 6.
