As expected, my daughter is put in Class 13 (GEP class), 2009 PSLE top student QIU biqi is also put in class 13, she becomes my daughter's classmate.

Hi wmd,

May i know why do you expect your daughter to be in a GEP class? I understand she was from (primary) mainstream? I know of students in class 13 from mainstream with PSLE T-score lower than 270 and other mainstream students with T-score of 280 & above posted to class 9 & below.

Any idea how the class allocation was done? I'm very sure it is not based on T-score as some of my daughters' friends with lower T-scores are posted to one of the last 4 classes.

Hi Fairy,

Based on last year grouping criterion.

Top 2 PSLE girls (QIU biqing and Michelle LIM) are grouped in class 13 too, besides that, my daughter said, amond all girls from RGPS (about 15) in class 13, there were 13 of them from RGPS GEP classes, one from RGPS 6E and another one from RGPS 6F (main stream classes)

Congrats on your dd's PSLE results.:celebrate: Regarding your latest post, I believe there are several inaccuracies I would like to highlight.

1.There are actually 3 top PSLE pupils in 113, not 2. This is confirmed too by sleeping beauty's post earlier on.

2.When you mentioned 'top 2' girls, do you actually mean to say '2 of the top girls'? Michelle Lim in NOT the 2nd-ranked girl in the nation, if you look at the information sheet released by the MOE.

3.According to a 113 GEP pupil I spoke to (not sure if she left anyone out), there are only about 7 RGPS GEP pupils in that class and not 13 as you claimed. I'm sure your dd will eventually know the exact number once she settles in and gets to know her classmates better.

Thought you'll like to know.

Thank you for your clarification.

Yes, I should say \"2 of the top girls\", who's 3rd top girl in class 13?
so far, I only knew QIU biqing and Michelle LIM, if I am not wrong, Michelle LIM (286) should be 2nd ranked gilr among all female students, just behind QIU biqing. CHEN muhe from NYPS got 287, he is top student among all male students.

A 113 GEP student I spoke to also confirms there are only 7 RGPS GEP students in the class, not 13 as your dd told you.

Hi Fairy, if I am not wrong, your boy was from RI right, do you have any idea how the class allocation was done? Can share ? Thank you

Probably you can share it at the RI forum, thanks

[edanson]

Hi wmd,


There are actually 3 girls ranked higher than Michelle Lim.[/quote]

Thanks Dharma for your contribution.

Hi wmd,

You're very welcome.

If I'm not wrong, the list released by MOE is more or less according to T-scores, with the 'invisible' 6 decimal places which we don't get to see. We only see the absolute scores. Nevertheless, I feel that there is really very little separating these top pupils as exams can be very unpredictable. Change another set of papers/markers (especially for the composition papers) and I'm sure the rankings within the top 13 will also change.

It is quite futile obssessing over who is ranked where. They are all equally outstanding students and may I add, not only this 13 top pupils but the many who did well enough to enter RGS. All of the girls are academically-inclined and have the potential to go far in whatever field they choose in future. Just my 2 cts worth! :lol:

Can’t agree more, applecore.
