heyyyy,

psle isn't very important, when you reach secondary school. i was in a similar situation when i took my psle 2 years back. i had a pretty good score in prelims too. i too, expected a lot more. i had expected 258+, but what i got in the end was 252+3.

my parents were disappointed, to say the least. they told me that in secondary school, everyone starts at the same point. everyone is equal. it is how you do, and what you do in secondary school that affects everything. a person can go to top schools like ri, rgs and not do well. a person can go to a normal school of cop 230, but still do very well in the end.

what i'm trying to say that is, don't ever give up. when you give up, all hope is lost. just make sure that you do well in secondary school

240 is not such a bad score. Put it behind you and do better in secondary school.

Cheers!

Wow ! 240 is a really good score ! Although you did not reach your dream score ,we all know that you did your best . Put it behind and strive for your best in secondary school !
