Hope everyone is very familiar with the word PBT by now. By explaining more about PBT I hope that not so many parents will lose sleep over this PBT. = p So sorry for not being able to update the blog as frequent this week. Well I would like to give everyone a summary in case you are wondering how your child had fared based on his grades as well as how he/she fared as compared to his/her peers.
Basically the class did not do well with almost half the class scoring 30 marks or less. For the first time, pupils this year have to sit this problem based task as such they are not really comfortable with the questions. Instead of the usual "one answer only" problems, pupils now have to give all the POSSIBLE answers and as such they tend to overlook. For most pupils, you will observe that they did not do well in the areas where they are asked to list possible answers like the arrangement of chair and table combination, as well as questions asking them for their opinion like which is a better deal 10 or 11 chairs. This is very common amongst pupils at this level. So fret not! I am sure they will do better in this coming test on Friday.
As the schedule is very tight for me due to the upcoming Shanghai trip. This Friday's paper may only be returned to pupils when school reopen. As for those parents who wishes to view the paper, I am afraid this can be done only when school reopens. I am sorry for any inconveniences caused.
