While the workload may initially be a slight (or rather huge) jump between levels, I've noticed some classmates who manage to keep a good balance and maintain similar MSGs. Other classmates have slight issues with their term grades (adapting to more difficult topics, competitions, new teachers and classmates etc.), but when it comes to EOY, most students make full use of their time, and plan out how to study each subject carefully, MSG won't be a problem. For me, my MSG decreased from Sec 1 to Sec 2, increased again in Sec 3, and decreased to an acceptable MSG in Sec 4.

Are you still studying in HCI and which level?
Is it true that there is no more subject exemption for EOY exam in Sec 4 and the 8 classrooms at the Clock Tower are reserved for the top eight Sec 4 classes?

Hi Vin8, yes I am still studying in HCI, recently graduated from HS section. Both statements provided are true (as of last year at least). I forgot the reason why there's no exemption, but my guess would be that there needs to be a final gauge as to where everyone stands before sending students off to JC. And yes, the 8 classrooms are \"reserved\" for the top 8 classes, based on Sec 3 EOY Class Average MSG if I am not mistaken.

Hope this helps!

Hi,


DS says English is only ELL (English Literature).So does it mean they need not do Paper 1 and 2 like in primary schools?
Pardon my igorance. :oops:
