How long should a PSLE Tamil composition be?

PSLE Tamil Paper 1 composition should be approximately 120–150 words. Quality matters more than length — a well-written 120-word composition scores higher than a poorly written 180-word one.

My child's Tamil compositions are grammatically correct but get low marks. Why?

Grammatical accuracy is necessary but not sufficient for high composition marks. If grammar is strong but marks are low, the issue is likely vocabulary range (using only simple, common words) or content development (not enough specific detail and description). Focus on vocabulary building and descriptive writing.
