      Hi! My dd loves RV, but she is not strong in Chinese. Got a merit in HMT this pale. Can advise if kids weak in Chinese can handle HCL? I heard there students need to score min B4 for HCL in yr 1and yr2. What is the % of students retained becos they couldn't achieve this minimum? Pls share.

      Hello!
      B4 is the required minimum for all years until y4 not just y1/2.
      You won't get retained if u get a c5/6 but if it's consistent then maybe.
      You will get an immediate retain if u score really badly like a e8/F9.
      It will be based on your scores of subjects other than cl as well.
      But if your Chinese is not that weak then I suggest maybe u can try out.
      However if your Chinese is ccmi then I would advise against choosing rv.
      As far as I'm concerned, only abt 34 ppl of my batch couldn't achieve this but they were conditionally promoted. None actually retained.
      I'm weak in Chinese tho, but I try my best, and each year I improve.
      I guess if u think u can improve in Chinese then go ahead.
      I would advise taking Chinese tuition tho, it doesn't help much.
      If u need extra help then approach your Chinese teachers, believe me, they will help you practice.
      I had a really nice Chinese teacher so is as lucky I guess, he gave me lots of zuo wen topics to practice and such.
      Hope this helps šŸ˜‚ šŸ˜‰

            Hello!
            I paid 8++ for mine,
            It is a iPad 3 wifi 16 gb one.
            But I guess it changed since Lots of newer models come out.
            It comes with AppleCare, stylus, and an iPad cover..
            Yup

                      Full size

                      I happen to use both and I find the full size better
                      Weight is a factor but so is the screen size.
