In primary school since P4 my chinese was always in the 50-60+ range, never see 70+ before. But I still got A for PSLE for Chinese, so it's really not that hard to get an A.

Agree. to get A is not difficult. To get A*, you need to work harder.

Hi i lost touch with PSLE for 3/4 years already . Is the maths still that hard ?

The Math paper I sat for was challenging albeit manageable. It is hard to score ( easy to make careless mistakes ) under examination stress though, I lost marks for questions that I did numerous times in test papers.

When I first started writing compositions in P2 / P3, my score was stuck at 13 and 14 for a while. But by end of P3, I started scoring a steady 16 / 17 / 18. ^^ Your DD is still young, I have a classmate who was not from a Chinese background and was not scoring very well for that language, but she got an A for Chinese in PSLE. 🙂

Do you mind sharing how you started to improve? Was it becos your school chi teacher helped you in compo writing? Or you 开窍？Or other reasons?

Thanks

My mom and Chinese teacher helped me in writing. My phrasing was awkward and I wrote in baby words. They taught me internals, 成语 and few other good phrases to use in my compositions.

Though if you just use them at P6, they probably will just get you a 30/40 or so since they are common and very ' cliché '.

[quote=\"Bunbun\"]Hi,


Just wondering if anyone know of some T scores results of students who got A* for Maths and Science, then A for English and B for Chinese?

My dd's turn for psle has yet to come, but I can see that she's heading in that direction as she's aiming for A* for maths and Sci, but her languages getting A or B as she is not that good in her languages.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

MTIA!

A 'B' would pull PSLE scores down by a lot. Try to bring your dd's Chinese up to an A. More than 80% of all students score minimum A for Chinese, so it is do-able.

Thanks jtoh for your kind advice! I will try to encourage dd to do better in her languages. It's worrying. U see, her classmates score 15 to 18 upon 20 for compo while she struggles at 13.5 marks ... :sad:[/quote]When I first started writing compositions in P2 / P3, my score was stuck at 13 and 14 for a while.

It helps. The enrichment gives structure and reinforces what the school teaches, while 1-1 is to identify and focus on weak areas to build up.

Oh no...After reading all your comments. I am getting paranoid and worried. DS doing his PSLE this year. And these T-Scores, mean scores, nationwide cohort's results affecting total aggregate is making me have butterflies in my stomach.


Honestly, when did it become this bad?? :shock: My heart is beating as though King Kong is banging it like bongos!

To the kids who didn't do well. Here is my mantra to my kids.

Never give up on yourself cuz Daddy and I sure as H*** haven't and never will. Never let anyone make you feel bad about yourselves! Always do your best and always be happy. There will always be disappointments in life but it is how you deal with them that matters cuz it will change your course!

Hope this helps and do look forward to the future! 🙂
Same here. Thats what I told me kids too

It's normal that girls outperform boys in primary schools. When it comes to secondary and JC, that's when the boys and girls are usually on equal footing in terms of results generally.

Agreed. Primary school boys tend to be more playful & get distracted by computer games. They usually pick up in Sec school.

In my dd's class, the boys all did better than the girls, most went to the first tier sec schools. The teacher mentioned that the boys are much stronger in math n science.

Agreed. Girls are better in languages. Whereas, boys are stronger in Maths & Science. My boy got A* for Maths & Science. However, top 5 in his school are boys. They end up in HCI & RI.

That is too much of a generalisation. It is the individual that counts. Maturity may play a role (i.e. the girls) but ultimately it is the determination, motivation and hard work of the individual. The stats ultimately mean nothing to an individual.

The girls in DS’ class had worked diligently and out-performed the boys in PSLE (where previously they used to lag behind in school’s results). I saw with my own eyes how the girls cried with joy and hugged each other, while the boys were just so matter-of-factly took a glimpse of result slip before passing over to their parents (DS didn’t even bother with the grades, he was only keen with his T-score). However, that said, when they go the later years, the boys will overtake them.
