Gosh! If first 2 paper were to be easy for these above average kids... :!: :!: wondering science would be tough or not lei? I heard this is thr first batch science weightage diff from previous year ...truth or not? :? :?[/quote]Ca3kids:
[quote=\"mellette\"]Indeed, easiler is better as least they know they have cleared the paper with certain confidence to move on to the next paper.
Mellette, agreed with you. Let us don't concern of how the T-score will affect the result first but for easier paper esp Maths as 2nd day paper, it really help the kids to have confidence to tackle the next coming Science and Higher Chinese papers.
Yesterday I saw my DD keep smiling as at least she is happy that English and Maths paper is not as difficult as the prelim and esp after Maths paper, I can see her confidence level is more up as she saw her answers are mostly correct after discussing with friends and from forum feedback in the web. At least for Maths (One of the most time consuming and tricky paper) had cleared.
As mentioned by some parents earlier, weightage is the same. What I understand is that the Science paper content will be narrower and the questions will be fewer but tougher. They are expecting more in depth and precise answers.. :roll: :roll: -
kiasiparent:
Perhaps they may be more strict in their markings knowing the paper was easy this year. MOE may not want to be under fire again this year after last year's fiasco, hence the easy paper but they may resort to more stringent markings. This may eventually affect the overall T score.hashroop:
