      What is the formula to determine this MSG? Generally the value should be big or small to be better? :imcool:

        The smaller the better, with lowest possible being 1 and do not forget English carries a 1.5 weighting.

        https://drive.google.com/a/sji.edu.sg/f ... 50TjA/view

        Example:

        Science A1
        Maths A2
        English B3
        History B3
        Geography B4
        MTL B4

        MSG = (1 + 2 + 3X1.5 + 3 + 4 + 4)/(6.5) = 2.85

          Hi titank,

          I am keen to find out more about SJI IP (IB) programme that your DS is currently in. My DS is doing his PSLE this year. May I have your permission to PM you?
          Thanks.

              Hi,
              Thanks. I was at SJI's Open House yesterday. Attended the talk and the IP track Q&A session. Managed to talk to a few students during the Open House. Managed to get answers to some of my queries. Thank you once again. Will keep in touch and PM you if some questions crops up. Thank you once again.

                Hi titank or any parent with child in SJI IP,


                Heard from a friend that the SJI teachers in the IP programme do teach more as compared to the teachers at RI? Is this true?


                rgds,

                  What is your opinion of the school and of the students you spoke with? Did they leave a good impression? Are you likely to choose the school?

                    Although the school is at the holding site, generally I found that the IP boys are Ok. They carried themselves well. The 2 teachers I spoke to are Ok. They also responded promptly to my email enquiries on their SJI IP programme.
                    Yes, good impression...and yes, definitely will consider for my son to DSA for SJI IP.

                      Hi, titank.
                      Just wanted to check with you (and/or your son). I was told by a friend that the SJI IP teachers, do teach more to the pupils as compared to some other IP schools. Is this correct? Thanks.

                        Heard from my DS & even his classmate from the upper sec. Their chemistry teacher didn't really teach them.

                        Most of the time asking them to revise by themselves, whereas both of their bio & phy teacher have put in much effort in teaching them.
                        Moreover he is the HOD in Science :slapshead:
