2019 PSLE Discussions and Strategies (Children born in 2007)
-
Thanks sembgal!
Can any kind soul out there tell us (in a nutshell) what’s the difference between SST and NUS High? From the name alone, it seems both are catering to kids who excel mainly in Science/Math? -
NUS High - 6 year programme leading to NUSH diploma. No O lvls no A lvls.
SST - 4 year programne leading to Os or articulates to Poly.
That’s my limited understanding… -
Dear All
May i ask for foundation stream students, their grade are different.
Instead of A, B,C grading. Their Grading is G1, G2< G3 etc,
How to compute for PSLE result?
Are they eligible for Secondary School? -

Personally I know of a student who takes Foundation subjects for P6 Maths and Science, and takes the normal core English and Chinese subjects. He ends up in Normal Technical stream, one of the best autonomous schools in SG. He was offered to do Sec 1 English and Chinese Normal Academic stream (means he can take N level for Eng and Chinese) and he attends Maths and Science in Normal Technical stream. If he works very hard, he is likely to end up in Sec 2 Normal Academic. He can do his N level, followed by O levels.
He had tuition for English, Math and Chinese with separate tutors. Maths Tutor was always on the phone and he did badly for Maths due to the fact that the Tutor left him to solve the problems on his own during tuition. English and Chinese tutors guided him every step and he showed most improvements in these 2 subjects. He did not have Science tuition due to Parents’ Budget.
From this case study, tuition has helped this boy to a certain extent as he was failing all his subjects since P5 CA1. He managed to pass English and Chinese with B grade. -

In Total, how many P6 Foundation subject(s), is your child doing ?
(pls do not reply me this personal qn, in this open forum)
If it is just one Foundation subject, still can make it to Express stream or to Normal Academic (NA) stream, provided his other 3 subjects are strong enough to pull him up, to meet the qualifying \"Express\" stream T-score, or meet the NA stream T-score.
may refer to 2018 PSLE booklet : find out which are those Secondary schools, whereby below 200 T-score, still can enter Express stream. Our 2019 PSLE batch will receive the booklet later on, through our Form Teachers in school.
Inside the booklet, it will also indicate if go below what range (T-score), a P6 student will be channelled to Northlight Secondary. -

yes, turn to page 111 (above link supplied by sembgal), have an idea that some Secondary schools like Bedok Green Sec, Admiralty Sec, etc allow Sec 1 pupils to enter Express stream, at below 200 T-score.
For us, we will wait for 2019 PSLE booklet :
to identify which are the 6 Secondary schools we want to put inside the list for MOE S1 posting, by looking at the admission T-score or Cut-off-point, for each of those schools we have in mind (targeted) -
I use this link to filter the schools by criteria
