2010 PSLE Discussion

[PretzelT]

ApronMama:

Anyone has any feedback so far on today's EL papers, difficult, average, easy? My child finds it average, ...

My girl said easy, but sometimes hard to say, I find she always says eng is easy but sometimes the results are not good, it is not like maths and science, where if you do not know, you know it. But for eng, sometimes they think they know how to answer but it is wrong..

Anyway, some of her friends found compo hard they said they did not know how to link the old lady to a topic that the teacher taught before, I find nowadays psle compos, they tend to give very broad topics like that so that the children must be creative to link the topics they have learnt to the scenario.

Same sentiment here. My girl find the paper quite okay.

Which means that either the Maths or Science paper will be real tough.

Last year's Math was tough so Science should be tough this year.

Or it could be like 2008, where every paper was easy.

Easy or difficult all depend on the SD. Meaning for diffcult papers, the marks for a* will be lower lor.... every year the same worries. I got back to back DDs doing PSLE, last yr one and this yr another one. Hai. Looks like parents more stress than the kids. HAI

After last year's Math paper, some students lost the mood to study for the remaining subjects.

Easy to tell them to look forward but I understand the feeling.... we faced all of these before!!! (But I dont remember PSLE time but maybe during O level onwards )

Math is easy. But there are many tricky qns that require you to keep a cool head and not be careless. If you’re a consistent 100-er like me, just check, check and check.

For Vocab Cloze is it steady, secure or durable?


For Bees cloze, for qn on ‘stay _ of bee hives’ wad is the answer?

IsaacTham:

For Vocab Cloze is it steady, secure or durable. I put secure but most of my friends put durable.

For Bees cloze, for qn on 'stay _ of bee hives' i put clear.

I put had also. It should not be 'has' because both happened in the past mah :?
