How is GPA computed, in NUS High ?
Eg : Year 6 Physics subject
does it mean attain GPA 4.0 score means : fall within 80 to 100 ?
GPA 3.6 means 70 to 79 ?
GPA 3.2 means 65 to 69 ?
GPA 2.8 means 60 to 64 ?
GPA 2.4 means 55 to 59 ?
GPA 2.0 means 50 to 54 ?
This GPA score per Subject :
is it only for Year 6 alone, or had been accumulated, since Year (1 to 6) ? -
phtthp:
Each module is assigned a grade, depending on the performance. Each grade is also assigned a grade point. Generally speakingHow is GPA computed, in NUS High ?
Eg : Year 5 / 6 Physics
does it mean attain GPA 4.0 score means : fall within 80 to 100 ?
GPA 3.6 means 70 to 79 ?
GPA 3.2 means 65 to 69 ?
GPA 2.8 means 60 to 64 ?
GPA 2.4 means 55 to 59 ?
GPA 2.0 means 50 to 54 ?
>85:A+ (5.0)
80~85: A (5.0)
75~80: A- (4.5)
70~75: B+ (4.0)
65~70: B (3.5)
60~65: B- (3.0)
55~60: C+ (2.5)
50~55: C (2.0)
45~50: D+ (1.5)
40~45: D (1.0)
<40: F (0)
GPA is calculated for each semester, by taking the sum of the (module grade x modular credit) and divided by the total modular credit.
CAP is calculated with 50% cumulative GPA from year 3 and year 4, and 50% from year 5 and year 6. -

what is the difference between modular grade vs. modular credit

can illustrate with an example, to Physics ?
Thank you -

Suppose a student takes 2 modules, Physics A and Physics B, in a semester.

Modular Credit for Physics A: 4 (roughly the number of less hours per week per semester)
Module Grade for Physics A: B- (3.0)
Modular Credit for Physics B: 2
Module Grade for Physics B: A+ (5.0)
GPA for that semester : (4*3.0+2*5.0)/(4+2) = 3.67 -
Thanks dagong99 & mjl for the replies.
Interesting list of courses and oversea uni. -
what is the difference between module(s) Physics A vs. Physics B ?
is it Physics A emphasize more on Hands on practical work involvement, while Physics B emphasize more on Theory ? -
phtthp:
No, those are made up module names.what is the difference between module(s) Physics A vs. Physics B ?

NUS High takes a modular approach to teaching. This is more evident in upper years, when the content is more specialized.
One physics module could be \"Special Relativity\".
The other physics module could be \"Quantum Mechanics\". Entirely different topic.
It is somewhat like what the universities do. -

What artume is saying is that diff module for the same subject carries diff weightage and there's a multiplier for each module in the computation of the overall grade for the subject.what is the difference between module(s) Physics A vs. Physics B ?

Nebbermind:
If a typical University will to assess a typical 'A' level Exam Physics results and a typical NUSH High Diploma Physics result - with full transcripts showing slew of module names, modular credits/grade etc, which will tell you more about the performance and level of mastery in the subject ?.

On top of that the NUSH Diploma graduating transcript has everything about the student's 6 years performance in academics, participations in Olympiads, competitions, research projects , CCA, CIP etc. This is the advantage what Artume is talking about. -
anyone know how much is latest school fees incurred per year, for an Engineering degree -
after finish studying Year 6 at NUS High (around $300 per month) & then continue to move on forward, into another next 4 years of NUS Engineering faculty ?
Is school fees the same, or different :
studying for Electrical / Electronic / Mechanical Engineering vs. studying for Chemical Engineering degree : since the laboratory work & experiments conducted, are different in nature ? Thanks
