Hi Autolycus,
Do you know the percentage of IB students with HL Chem in ACSI? School has issued circular to say they will strictly not entertain any appeals for Y4 who wants to do HL Chem but does not get at least a 6.
In the past, even grade 5 get to do HL Chem and they fared well eventually with a 6 or 7 for IB. It appears that school is reducing the places for HL Chem? I wonder why. -
My DS spent too much time online and did not manage to get a 6 for Chem or Maths for mid-yr exam this year (IP Y4). Itβs a wake-up call for him and he is looking for extra help. Thinking of Raffles Trust Learning Centre run by Dr Chan. Anyone with comments on this centre? Will be greatly appreciated!

Perhaps they don't have enough HL Chem teachers? I would wonder why too.Hi Autolycus,

Anyone going to the meet the parents session tomorrow ?
As usual my son did not bring back the appointment booking form.
According to him, priority will be given to those who failed in the SA.
I assume priority will be given to the O level students as well.
A bit worried that my son did not get any 6 in his sciences and maths and not sure whether he can improve in the subsequent exam to do HL next year or not. -

Tho DS din fail in any subject, he did badly in everything, even his strongest subject. :faint:
Is this a typical wake-up call at Y3?
Obviously the boy still sleeping, but the mommy got jolted up & threaten to approach every single teacher if he doesn't get me some slots. So he secured 4 slots.

Form past experience it's almost impossible to get any time with the teacher if don't have any slot at all. -
My ds only managed to get 1 slot. He did not actively try to book with his teachers anyway. Gave the excuse heβs busy with charity cafe, etc. I wonder if the school can change their PTM procedures. Let the parents book instead of the child. In my ddβs previous secondary school, we only meet the form teacher who has a compiled list of comments from all subject teachers.

actually it depends on teachers and the subjects they teach. I saw some super long queue while some have hardly any parents/students approaching them.
I managed to meet 2 other teachers on top of the 4 allocated slots.
In fact during the previous 2 PTM, I also managed to squeeze in additional slots. What I do is keep an 'eagle-eye' ..... the moment there's no queue & vacant, I just approached the teachers. I'll make it known that I do not have any allocated slot and just need a quick update

Hi,

Don't worry too much as for most students, course work in term 3 usually helps to pull up the overall scores. Keeping fingers crossed..... All the best!
p/s: You may like to note that moving on, it is important for students to get a good grasp of concepts covered in Yr 3 & Yr 4 in order to cope with the load in Yr 5/6. I've seen boys with weak foundation struggling to revise old concepts in parallel with learning new topics. Tough. -

Poor mummy, what a rude shock!
Year 3 is indeed a steep step up from year 2. The boys can no longer ι θΏζ°or δΈ΄ζΆζ±δ½θ. Coupled with CCA leadership commitment, there are many boys in the same situation as your son....
Nothing is lost. Consistent work is the key. With proper time management, as long as assignments are completed diligently, he'll do okay moving on..... ε ζ²ΉοΌοΌοΌ :rahrah:
