I thought it was bateria too! Haiz....

I think it should be bacteria....
In the graph of option 4, the amount of bacteria increased after G, so if it incresed the plants would die, and in the graph for option 1, the amount of nutrients increased after G (Not straight after, but a few distance after G) So if the question states that plants living deep in river after point G died, the nutrients have to be decreasing, if it is increasing, thag mesns that the plants living after point G did not all die. But im not sure... 🤷
Sorry my english is bad

4. Nutrients.

Why Nutrients? How does nutrients make the plants die?[/quote]The nutrients did not make the plants die. The plants died only because there was lack of nutrients.
If you were to read the question properly, it says: After some time, plants living deep in the river AFTER point G dies. So the plants at G did not die, after point G, there was less nutrients for the plants.

How about the question about the soaked seeds? Why aren't it filled up in the \"container\"?


I said so there is sapce for the seed to germinate :lightrod:

To prevent overcrowding and competition for air, water and warmth.

For part A of the germinating seed question [booklet b]

I wrote:
Putting many seeds together causes overcrowding and competiton for air and warmth, so the seeds cannot grow healthily.
Is it correct?

I wrote the same as you.

It reduces competition for water, oxygen, space and warmth.


It prevents overcrowding too

Include in the child’s strengths, not only in academic but in other aspects such as self-confidence, leadership qualities, attended any competitions etc and be very clear about writing an appeal letter to state why you want to study in that school and what the child or the parents can offer. I heard that if parents are active parent volunteers in the child’s primary schools, it could boost the chances of the child going to a desired secondary schools as the parents will most likely to contribute their service of being active parent volunteers to the secondary school. Lastly, include in a nice colour passport size photo of the child too and the past result slips.


Don’t think about going to MP to appeal for your child’s secondary school because you will be disappointed by the outcome. Good luck.

One of the best written articles so far for PSLE 2015.

yes, recently read this in the straits times, very well written, i like it 😄


Hmmm...not so sure about this article. Seemed quite naive to me...

Of course all families celebrate their own top scorerers' successes. Certainly success is to be celebrated. And certainly there is no lack of celebration. Now the question is...is it necessary to celebrate by splashing top scores in PSLE all over the news or the media?

IMHO, being a top student in PSLE is not quite the same as being a city with great investment potential or winning a medal at the SEA games.

I like the way the media highlights the real heroes in PSLE...those who overcame the odds to do well. It's wonderful to recognise these people. Because let's be very clear here ...most PSLE top scorerers are from privileged backgrounds.. By privileged I mean often they come from families where at least one (often both) parents are highly educated and doing well in their own careers or there is a homemaker (often highly educated) to oversee everything at home. Case in point, a friend came to me and remarked with wonder on a 28X score of a child whose parents are both doctors. That result was no surprise. Should it be celebrated ...yes of course! Should it be in the media...well...I'm not so sure really.

And it's not necessarily true that topscorerers are not profiled in the media. I like this story:
http://news.asiaone.com/news/education/ ... added-push

Honestly, Chua Mui Hong has nothing to worry ...there is no way this society is becoming afraid to celebrate successes and I don't think it will for a long time![/quote] :goodpost:

I read the article in the Straits Time and agreed that usually those privileged students who can go TLL for tuition will do better compared to those who didn't. On the other hand, low-income families are seeking tuition for their children to have tuition at CDAC, Mendaki, Sinda etc.

Singapore is well-known for being a top educational landscape to groom children.

But whatever happened to the old-fashioned virtue of celebrating success?


This part is very well-written to sum up the feelings of those high-achievers.
Instead of schools, parents and communities openly celebrating academic achievement, I find an awkward shroud of silence surrounding top scorers.

It has been this way since MOE decided to stop publishing the names of top scorers in the 2012 PSLE. I hope Singapore has not acquired a bad dose of the tall poppy syndrome, where people look askance at other people's achievements and want to tear them down, and where high achievers then feel the need to keep their heads down for fear of drawing unwanted envious attention.

Chua Mui Hoong, who wrote the article, was an English literature graduate from Cambridge University. I'm sure if she is willing to open up writing classes for students, there will be a queue for her service. Waiting...

I visit Kent Ridge SS and notice principal, vice-principals and teachers are committed. School programmes intend to nurture its students and such programmes open to all students instead of selected students with good results.
