Subject prerequisites
Bio/chem/phy/math min gp 2.0

Academic criteria
4H2 y4 results gpa 3.2 or more

Based on what was shared beginning of this year.

What is \"Academic criteria\" for?
May I confirm that for :4H2 y4 results gpa 3.2 or more\", the student needs to be getting on average B3 for his subjects ?

yes, ave 3.2 gpa is B+ 65-69
if your y4 gpa is below 3.2, you take 10 units (ie. 3H2 + 1H1)
If 3.2 or more, you can take 11 units (ie. 4H2)
I assume that you want your son to take 4H2 pcme or bcme, then you need ave 3.2 or more.
Ave gpa computation is based on core 5 subjects + 1/6.[/quote]It is very clear, thank you so much!

Is it a norm to take 3rd language?

When does it start and frequency?
Is it more like a class or CCA?

Thank you.

For the Grade Point Average (GPA) in Year 1, will they roll over to Year 2 , 3 & 4 ? Or will each Year’s result stand on its own , so each year GPA only the results for that year ?

I think only the current Y4 have their GPA calculated based on Y3 and Y4 results. In a bid to reduce student stress level, the Sch has done away with this practice so that for everyone else, every year will be a new slate.

I think it’s quite common. But from my small sample size, the dropout rate looks quite high For boys. Somehow it seems that the IP gals have lower attrition rate.

I’m not just referring to RI, but overall across the IP.

Do you mean starting next year Y4 GPA will be calculated based on Y4 only? That means only half year? ‘Cos the second half will be gapsem.

[SolitudeJS]

Regarding Year 3 Subjects and combination, is the allocation based on merit and your results at the end of year 2 ?

Yah, that’s what I understood in the P’s briefing earlier this year.
