Hi all?


Care to share your gal’s GPA for final year1 results? My gal has improved although she struggled in some of her subjects. Hope she is able to plan better in her Year 2 after the experiences she encountered in Year1

Opps sorry my gal got 3.5 for her GPA

[osim]

I would like to check since Y1 GPA is to use only 7 subjects, can 3rd Lang be used in place of one of the subjects? Dd get 3.89 if she use 3rd Lang and 3.83 otherwise.


Is there no grade point 3.8? I see the 70-79 also GP 3.6. Dd got a couple of 79 which gives only 3.6. I think for 60-69 the scale is more granula right? There is 3.4 and 3.2. What is the rationale behind this grading method for above 70?

Third lang grades can be used in place of one of the other humanities, ie lit, history or geog. Your results slip would have calculated the best GPA for your daughter's subjects.

There is no 3.4. There's just 4.0, 3.6, 3.2, 2.8 etc; 0.4 mark differences between GPAs.

Some questions about results:


Does anyone know where I can find the median overall GPA for a particular year? What % of students get 4.0? How many get under 3.5? I just want to have an idea where my daughter stands. And is the GPA calculated as the average of the individual subjects GPA? My daughter’s GPA shows as 0.0 at the moment! I’ve already told her FT and hope they will issue a new report soon.

Does RGS only give the median mark for each subject? I would actually prefer a percentile ranking or at least the quartile marks as well - again, just so we have a clearer idea where our daughter stands.

Thanks!

simkhoo,

The overall median GPA and percentiles are not published. The school might brief the students on the results at a later date.

Yes, the GPA is calculated as an average of the GPAs of 7 subjects. The computer was probably confused by your dd's grades bec there were no scores for the first half of the year.

Can I know what is RA in RGS? What are the various RA offered?


What is the purpose of different RA and are humainites RA harder to go through or is it science?

Thank you.

Heard RGS has this \"most improved awards\" for the girls. I think it is a nice move from the school.


Out of curosity, what's the qualifying criteria?

Can someone advise me in RGS year 1, how does one apply to be selected into the Music elective programme? Is it just an audition and can it be any instrument?

If selected to be in the programme, is it necessary to choose a CCA related to music and go through more auditions? Thank you.
