UNSW Competition / Paper

[lee_yl]

I wonder how correlated are the UNSW results to PSLE results?
If a child scores Dist & HD, is he likely to get A*, likewise, does scoring Credit or Merit translate to a A or lower grade in PSLE?

Based on my kids' past experience, I don't see any co relation between UNSW and PSLE results. My DS can score HD for UNSW Maths but just an A for PSLE Maths. We take it as good practice n exposure to external set questions.

Thanks for sharing, Zbear.
DD1 didn't do well in one of the ICAS paper this year and I was a bit worried as her PSLE is next year.

Don't worry lee_yl, my dd got credit for those papers but yet could still scored A* for her Psle.

Thanks for the info.
Congrats on your girl's excellent result!

The teacher finally responded. He has a distinction for english and the school will present the certificate to him on children's day celebration.

wah that is nice gesture of the school! congrats! my girl is only in P2 so she still has a long way to go.... moreover, I understand that this has no direct correlation to the normal test/exam heeheheh
