based on what subjects?
what score should they get ? tks

depend on individual primary schools
perhaps may ask your child's Form Tr : what is the criteria like for streaming at Year end, in child's school ?
you may pose this question to your Form Tr during end of Term 2, Parents Tr Conference
(before June school holidays begin)

for Primary 2 end of Year streaming, got 2 type :-

i) some schools are based on Overall Total of 2 subjects combined :
scored from Term 1 to Term 4 (English, Maths)

then, for mother Tongue :
if child do well : will be offered to do Higher Mother Tongue, in P3
if child do average in class : continue to do normal Mother Tongue as per normal, in P3

means when come to P3, attend Mother Tongue lessons :
pupils split : go to different Mother Tongue class, according to their subject competency level.


ii) some schools are based on Overall Total of 3 subjects combined :
achieved from Term 1 to Term 4 (English, Maths, Mother Tongue)

P2 : 30 pupils, per class
P3 : 40+ pupils, per class

Based on their P2 results only? i.e. P1 results wont be considered at all?

I was expecting P1 results will be considered though at a lower weightage as compared to P2 results.

I was expecting P1 results will be considered though at a lower weightage as compared to P2 results.

It is based entirely only on end of P2 academic results (Total Weighted from P2 beginning Term 1 to end of Year Term 4), for the 3 subjects (English, Maths, Mother tongue)

No, primary schools do not take into consideration P1 results at all. Zero weightage taken from P1

P2 : 30 pupils, per class
But come P3 : become 40+ pupils, per class
(re-shuffle students, to become a bigger P3 class)

for P3
some schools still have Top (2 or 3) classes (eg : based on Top 80 or 120 pupils from entire P2 cohort results),
whereas other schools had removed / abolished Top few Mainstream classes : all become Mixed Ability classes, instead.
best to find out how your own school, operate


some schools quite particular
They pull out those strong in Chinese, goto attend Higher Chinese class.
best to find out from your own school : how they define pupils as \"strong in Chinese\" ?

What is the marks to get the top 80 or go to the 1st n 2nd best class in p3?

[phtthp]

depend on the standard of the P2 cohort, in your school.

Different school : standard of cohort, differ

You can ask your child Form Tr : to get into Top 2 classes, what is the mean or average score, per subject, based on entire cohort level ?
When they slot pupils goto different P3 classes, is based on entire end of P2 cohort level.

Or can phrase the qn in another way, when u ask Form Tr, during Parents-meet-Tr session :
What is the lowest a pupil need to score, for the Total of 3 subjects at end of P2, in order to get into the Top 2 classes, for P3 ?
Eg
Out of Total 300 marks : what is the lowest Total, before get cut off at 81th position ?
