Just wanted to chip in that HGS does have a PV scheme. You can call the school to find out more.

If have will also be minimal as in the past history, all can get in through phase 2c easily. but the situation had changed since last yr, so may be can foresee more and more going to join pv if they do accept pv.

Can someone advise whether I am reading the results from the Haig Girls correctly; the figures regarding those eligible for the Express Stream include those that went to Normal Academic as well? I assume that's what the E/N(A) refers to on the website's graphs?

It refer to percentage of student ELIGIBLE for Express, ie PSLE score more than 188. It's because for some secondary school, if your score is between 188 to 199, you can choose to go to N(A) instead of express. That's why they put E/N(A) as not all students will choose to go to express even if they are qualified to do so.

So if I am comparing to "% eligible for the Express Stream (w/o Exp/N(A))" from another school, it isn’t exactly the same as they are using 200 as the COP and not 188 ( although it is very close). Is that correct?


Sorry for all the newbie questions but just want to ensure I am understanding the figures correctly.

Not too sure of other schools. I believe all school should be based on 188, regardless of whether they stated with Exp/N(A) as i don't think they have accurate info of how many of the students opt to go exp or n(a) for those between 188 to 199. They only have info of psle score.

I managed to check with Haig Girls’ ; they use a cut off point of 188 for their statistics on their website indicating those girls eligible for Express Stream or Normal Academic.


Another nearby school indicate on their website % of students eligible for Express Stream (without Normal Academic) & therefore use a cut off point of 200. Hope that helps any parents out there !
