Pushing standard higher = more stringent promotion criteria?[/quote]Else how does the school get to produce lustrous 'A' levels results?looking4Tutor:
[quote=\"Nebbermind\"]Is that only about 10% of the S1 intake?
For this year yes. But it varies from year to year. If HCI is to push the standard higher, which is a wrong games plan, you will see more Straight Into Poly classes. -

In sec 2 parent symposium this year, the message was 1 SIP class per consortium except iSpark which does not have enough to form a class (ie. they do better). And that it is 20 per consortium. So there would be 3 classes of these.Nebbermind:

Oh dear, this is bad. It would be better if the school allows the students to form their own group.
Yes, there is a possibility to team up with irresponsible mate/s. That is the no.1 recipe for failure.PiggyLalala:
Hi looking4tutor,
Thanks for the link. Am I right to say that for such projects, you get to choose your own teammates and topic? And students need to do such projects every year, right? -
looking4Tutor:
HCI students seem to look at poly as an escape route. If you see the cut off points at the popular poly courses, i dont think the chances to get into the popular courses are very high esp, going purely base on results...Nebbermind:

Is the calculation of msg based on 6 subjects? What are the subjects in the lower sec? Are history and geography considered as 2 subjects or one? Thanks.

NJC also not much different. Right? And I know NJC has lots of SM1 students to shore up results.
Else how does the school get to produce lustrous 'A' levels results?
Actually, nowaday, going thru the poly route isn't that bad already...there are even prestigious PSC scholarship winners from a few of the polytechnics. The number is even higher than most JCs including well-established one such as NJC. -
