Upper primary average scores do not fluctuate much -

Heard nhps tends to set hard qns or has stringent marking till most of her pupils (in top mainstream classes) fail P5 SA1 - Is it true?
it's true that the qns are hard and marking is more stringent. Doubt anyone from top mainstream classes will fail overall for SA1. Most probably high chance some may fail HCL/Science. -

HCL possible, but not SC. Lowest SC score for top MS classes ~75 (highest ~98). -
Hi, Does anyone keep track of nhps phase 2b registration for the last few years? Thanks.

Absolutely untrue especially for top mainstream classes. The papers are harder for sure and some will see their results dropped as compared to P4. But to say they set difficult papers and stringent marking to make most students fail in P5 SA1, that's totally fake news and spreading fear by whoever told you that. Of course if your child still has the cruising mindset as if he/she is in lower primary, P5 will be a shocker. -

It is more geared towards the teachers started to follow with PSLE standard of marking especially for science and maths papers. There are certain PSLE guidelines that all upper primary teachers need to follow in term of awarding marks. Students may write a lot for science but the points may be redundant which lead to marks being deducted or vice versa. It is good to let the students to get use to such marking rather than in P6. If students who are so used to the lenient marking from lower primary teachers will have a rude shock when the marks started to drop significantly. Please note P4 to P5 is a steep jump especially from Chinese, Maths and Science. Science has a whole different answering techniques that students need to master. If students met a strict teacher, they should not be depair. They should be grateful as these teachers tend to drill the students to right path in getting full marks for PSLE. By end of the year, most P5 students should be able to get used to it and scored. A strict teacher shapes a good student. -
Been contemplating writing this post for a while... have considered just letting it go... but the frequent recurrence of inconsiderate behaviour is really quite disconcerting and because it's even resulted in a near-accident before, I thought I needed to make an appeal here to all fellow NH parents.
Ever since the move to the West Coast campus, it is common to expect a long queue of drivers all the way from Clementi Flyover to West Coast Road in the mornings. Some driver parents who are too impatient to queue up in the turning lane \"cheat\" by travelling in the adjacent lane (meant to go straight), bypassing the cars who are already queuing in the turning lane and cutting in (sometimes abruptly!) into the turning lane (which has a pedestrian crossing too).
Not only is this behaviour inconsiderate and unfair to the drivers who've been patiently queuing up, it is potentially dangerous. Everyone is in a rush in the morning peak hours. If everyone could follow the traffic rules, the morning drive would be a much smoother and more pleasant ride.
:thankyou: -
Not only is this kind of action inconsiderate but what kind of values are we passing on to our children? I witnessed once that the driver was so engrossed in cutting into the turning lane, that he/she nearly hit a pedestrian crossing at the zebra crossing.

Exactly! I'm glad you share my sentiments... I've had the rude shock of another car abruptly cutting in from the adjacent lane. Thank goodness I wasn't going any faster or there would have been a collision.
At the exit to West Coast Road, it also becomes more difficult and tricky to filter out because the turning lane wasn't meant to have 2 cars merging into one lane. Sigh... -
It looks like that turning lane is going to turn into a 2 lane road! I suppose it is bad, but it can’t be worse than the traffic at ACS in the mornings.
