Comprehension Open-Ended
ALL AT SEA: (IDIOM) CONFUSED OR NOT SURE WHAT TO DO
THE PUPIL FOUND HIMSELF “ALL AT SEA”. WHY WAS THAT SO? [2M]
Are you like the pupil mentioned in the question above? Are you confused about the requirements needed to score for the comprehension open-ended section? Apart from reading the passage and answering the questions, what other details do you need to pay attention to in order to score? It’s time to wave your doubts goodbye.
NO 1/2 MARK AWARDED?
Indeed. No 1/2 mark is awarded during the PSLE and this means that you need exact and precise answers to secure that 1 or 2 marks. If not, it is going to be a zero. Ouch.
STAYING CURRENT: THE LATEST PSLE QUESTION TYPES
Not all questions appear the same even if they are testing for the same details. From checking your understanding of the passage to familiarising yourself with recent PSLE question types, you can do them all.
