Someone told me that physical copy was better. For e-book, you cannot download to your hard disk i.e. you need internet connection whenever you want to read the book. There could be a problem when the connection is slow or worse when there is no connection or the website is down.8228:
For biology and chemistry textbooks, is it better to purchase the print version or e-book or both? TIA.
Keen to know this too -

Your dd will also be in NY next year? Your ds is in HCI right? -
lego:
For Sec 1s, even if they did not meet the promotion criteria (MSG <= 4) they will still be promoted. For Sec 2s, they will be channeled to Sec 3 O Level class if did not meet promotion criteria (MSG <= 4) and that's only if the child consistently did not do well in most subjects from Sec 1 to Sec 2, even with additional supplementary classes and help from teachers. For those one-off cases or only pull down by one or two subjects, they will not be channeled to O level class. For Sec 3 and Sec 4, if they did not meet promotion criteria (MSG <= 4 for Sec 3 and MSG <= 3 for Sec 4), they will be given a second chance, i.e. do a re-exam at the end of the year. If they still cannot pass then they can choose to retain or transfer out.May I know what is the promotion criteria for NYGH?
What happens when a child cant meet the promotion criteria- retain, o level class or promote but subject to fulfilling the condition next yr etc.
Any info is much appreciated. Thank you! -
lego:
Thank you for yr prompt reply. Is there any special HCL requirement to promote to next level or just incorporated in msg calculation only? I cant seem to find info on their school website.[/quote]There's no special HCL requirement. Just need to pass both languages (i.e. >= 50%) plus MSG <= 4 (for Sec 1 to 3) or MSG <= 3 (for Sec 4)
You need MSG of <4 to be promoted each year. Note the weightage for subjects may not be 1. I think languages carry 1.5 weightage but best you check with NY whether my understanding correct. sec 2 who does not meet MSG 4 will be placed in O level class in sec 3. MSGbe_contented:

needed to go to HCI.
Weightage for Language Art for Sec 1 and 2 is 2. For HCL, it is 1. For Sec 3 and 4, weightages for both Language Art and HCL are 1.5 -

Yes.

Thank you so much for all the detailed information regarding the promotion criteria and weightage for the 2 languages, elkniwt. Really appreciate it!
