In a top school, one can be just a small fish in a big pond.

Always heard that students nowadays have tonnes of projects - so dunno if they've spent too much time on projects and not enough on studies.
I wonder what's the use of doing so many projects if ultimately students still rely solely on A level results to compete for U places with other mainstream students. Other than looking good for scholarships, is there any value ? Do the project work actually help them understand better what they are studying, or do better in A level exams ? I wonder if IP schs overdo these projects thingy. -

Project work is one of the A level subjects and is the only one easiest to score full marks and this could be used for uni entrance in S'pore. And this is marked internally. Correct me if i am wrong on thisningy:

really ? something new to me, guess i'm out of touch with current sec/jc curriculum. so can non-IP students also take this \"project\" subject at A level ? In any case, O level dun have so-call 'project' subject right ? -
Wonder NYGH recruit how many students via DSA ? How many places are "reserved" for NYPS ? After all these deductions (not forgetting other foreign scholars/ students) , may be that’s the reason why their cut-off point is slightly higher.

I guess not more than half of yearly intake is via DSA. there is NO reserve for NYPS girls. They must score well during P4 & 5, and P6 SA1, and must be good in CCA that the school targets. Know of pupils from NYPS who don't get in due to competition
As for the COP for NYPS girls, it must be minimum 250 -

Project Work is compulsory in every JC. Recently there were some complaints and comparison that some JCs had their project work \"easier\" to score .....
and due to PW in JC, that is the reason project work has started in primary schools -
