BizarreRocksD12 SG I did it years ago… Maths n science A, english B, chinese C… I got 188 but got in express cause was in a affiliated sch. Yep.
zanshin SG 250 English - A Maths - A* Science - A Chinese - A By the way, 150 is not a "FAIL" score as PSLE is a "T-Score" , a statistically derived score which compares your score with all those that took the exam.
browniebaobao SG totally unexpected for me at that time. was crying non stop when i got my results. lol. and my teacher tot i was too sad coz i din get A* for chinese. Hahaha.. oh.. btw, I got 3 A and 1 B (maths). score 225.
skyfoo SG straight As. 228. quite disappointed. expected A* for maths. well, didnt expect much for overall as only touch the books little bit nia. otherwise think can get at least 240+. anyway, i believe that PSLE is the better gauge compared to 'O' or 'A' lvl. PSLE is all about brain while the latters are much dependent on hardworking.
ahhaoz SG precisely the point. If one works hard, one will make it in life. You reap what you sow. PSLE does not apply to "O"s, "A"s, Uni, Work. hardwork is more impt. i got 197 for my PSLE. 2As 1B and 1C somemore. now in NTU EEE.
