she can’t make it for ART.

anyway she should work very hard for this year end exams before she can decide which subject combination she wishes to take, although geography interests her more than history. son did well for both geography and history in sec 2 but decided to take history and social studies.

POA is a compulsory subject in sec 3.

Is it also true to assume that the better schools wills have to set more challenging tests/ exam questions than students from the neighbourhood school? like if a child gets A1 in a subject (neighbourhood school with express stream about 200), the standard could be only like estimated of a B? or C? in a good/ top school? just an example...

Not true, DS is in neighbourhood sch and I've met 2 different math tutors who commented that his sch maths paper is tougher than most schs and even tougher than some of the IP schs (for lower sec).....but I hv to admit that DS' sec sch has a reputation in that zone for being good in maths....so i guess depends on the niche of your child's sch.

I want to chill...but how to? she has to pass all 8 subjects and get at least 60 marks.
chasing her everyday to revise her history, geography and science.
next week, history 2/10...geography on 3/10, lit on 5/10 before math and science the following week.

i thought 50marks is pass marks? my ds sch is 70 to get into certain subject combi ( eg two pure sci , 2 maths )
isn't avg of 60 to get promoted is stringent ?

[deardear07]

yeah, does sound like u r aiming for certain subject combination… promotion criteria cannot b so strict…? or maybe school has higher scoring system…


wah, 70 to get 2 pure sciences is also tough when there is only 1 combined science class for my sch… how to score so high… i think that seems more for triple science requirement in my dd’s sch…

70 to do 2 pure sciences is reasonable. PURE leh!

to be promoted to sec 3NA, the students must have 60% overall pass OR 60% pass for English, math, science and 1 humanities subject.
