is it official that HMT +1 +2 +3 does not add to T score (only add to decimal places) for SAP schools?


I heard this from the pri sch HMT tchr too but that wasn't what we all thought it was.

Is it hearsay only, or official ?

for SAP schools posting -
Anywhere on MOE website :
that officially announce that +1 +2 +3 add merely to the decimal points, instead of add to the whole number, so as to clear up confusion ?

If true, can someone show us the official link ? Thanks

This is definitely false. The HMT bonus point is added to the t-score, a t-score of 249+2 will be considered as 251 when applying to a SAP school.

Dear all,

My girl scored 267+3, I suppose she can go to all school she likes. Visited 3 open house in May this year, RGS, Nanyang Girl and RV. Among three, she likes RV the most as she prefer mix school, and she likes the school environment of RV. Forget about top school.... RV the plus point to us is within walking distance to our house. Shall I respect her choices and let go top school. I am still considering Nanyang. Anyone can provide more information about Nanyang

Let her choose the school she likes as the 1st choice. She is the one that needs to go there everyday.

My DS is eligible to take up third language.

1) Is this a normal option across all students?
2) Does the school conduct Malay lessons as third language and within the school premise ?
3) What does (Special Programme) [MSP] stands for?

I saw from Reddiechan posting and that's why I asked....nothing official from MOE website but I also heard it from the Pri sch's HOD (CL).....I also can't believe it.

Has anyone successfully enter any SAP sch based on +1 +2 or +3 previously?

since she likes RV and the plus point like you mentioned is walking distance, let her decide. RV is a top school.

A colleague shared his opinion with me last year


He preferred his child to be among the top few in a good school and given all the grooming and opportunities by the schoo

Then to be among the average or just above average in a better school and treated normally and no opportunity

All three are good schools but with very distinct personalities and culture. It is really very much like selecting a second home for your child. Do you feel in your heart of hearts that she will fit in well and be happy in Nanyang? If you cannot persuade her and simply override, will this create long term resentment? At the end of the day, it boils down to your understanding of your child, the school culture, and if the child trust your judgement.

I would agree. Like it or not, the best opportunities are usually given to the top students so if your child is in a lower class he/she may miss out on being involved in interesting projects, overseas trips etc. I feel that this is wrong but it is the reality.

It was one of the reasons why I am glad that my daughter was in a small primary school as it meant she had more chance to do different things.
