Hi:)

Does RGS classify students into ‘best’ or ‘weakest’ classes according to their academic results?

Hi!

The classes won't exactly be arranged by scores, but there's a general pattern.

Sec 1 in RG: About half the classes are the 'stronger' classes, with the GEP students + non-GEP who did better for PSLE. One or two 'weaker' classes will generally have quite a number of DSA students + those whose PSLE scores are nearer cut-off point.

You don't really have to worry though, because the students are generally evenly spread out. Plus, PSLE scores don't indicate that much. A lot can change in 4 years.

Hi hmsg, We've decided on MacBook Pro with 128GB and get another external hard drive 1TB or 500GB, reason being more powerful processor comparing with Air and much cheaper than the 256GB Pro. We will also go with Office 365 at s$138 per year with is good for 5 PC or Mac plus 5 mobiles.

Office 365 is subscription based, which you need to renew yearly to continue to use, just like your home internet access. Good thing is you always have the latest Office, & can be used for up to 5 PC or Mac plus 5 mobiles.. If you need the license for only one device, then go for the Sapura one.
