Please share if you've heard any rumours about the difficulty level of this year's exam.

I am a bit shocked with your question / posting. Are we able to know the difficulty level of NEXT month PSLE exam now? What do you meant by rumours? This is new to me.

:!: Just wondering. Rumours...... You said it's rumours...... Do you believe in rumours???

So what if it's easy or difficult? Does rumours spreading it's easy or difficult help or make any difference?

It should be standardised to be the same level every year so do not worry. They would probably have bell curves and the sort to keep the status quo.

:!: Probably the dictionary can give u a gd explanation on what "rumours" means. FYI, my post was basically to determine if parents' kiasuism could lead to unfounded gossips!

Thank you for your reply.

KiasuParents.com is a forum for parents to exchange ideas and help each other. It is not a place for RUMOURS or "lead to unfounded gossips". I do not need a dictionary to tell me what the word "Rumours" means. Thank You.

so what if the exam is easy or difficult? really depending on the child's ability in the end. an easy paper might be difficult for another child's view.
why do we need gossip on such things? better to spend more time with family and give more constructive view in the forum.

Result and getting into the best school do not determine the future of the kid. Kid needs to be comfortable in the secondard school and loving it - this part of the years are very impt to the child's development.

You are so right! That is why, every year after the PSLE exams, we see parents writing to ST Forum to complain so and so papers are difficult, unfair, etc. Guess this year shouldn't be any different.
