If 360 excludes GEP, then 70/360 MS is only 19.4% scoring above 250. Not v impressive then.
If i recall correctly, their cohort should be 360.manorway\" post_id=\"1947949\" time=\"1574406712\" user_id=\"9303:
Taonan is GEP Centre so if 50 GEP kids, and let’s assume all GEP kids got above 250, then only 70 MS kids got above 250. Don’t know what is Taonan’s cohort size though.
I was told RGPS has something like 45% above 250 and if 55 GEP kids all scored above 250, then they have about 100 out of 270 or 280 MS kids scoring above 250. That is about 35%. But I did not see the slides. I got this info from group chats. -

O my do true bout the toxic pri sch relationships LOL
I think very much depends on the child himself. My DS went to an affiliated sec sch (not from affiliated pri) but he's outgoing. He's happy there for 6 years albeit with some blood some tears and lots of sweat. My DD went to a ip JC. She's not that outgoing but she enjoyed her time there. You'll be surprised many of the affiliated kids are eager to get out of some toxic friendships to make new friends.tyeogh\" post_id=\"1947999\" time=\"1574410811\" user_id=\"94399:
I am just sharing a perspective. From an old classmate. He joined my affiliated school whereas I hailed from the primary school. To me, walking to canteen took forever. I said Hi to everyone and mingled easily. That classmate envied me and shared his view. I accepted his wisdom and applied it to my kids. I am not saying your child has no friends. Just saying it is hard to break into cliques. If your kid is the ultra sociable kind, all is good to go! :rahrah:

Ah I see. Sorry I am confused here.
Does it mean you went to yr affiliate sec sch? My daughter is not from an affiliate pri sch gg to an affiliate sec sch.
I think quite obviously if one is from an affiliate pri sch n gg to an affiliate sec sch, he/she will hv more friends initially.
If we are talking about 4 years of sec sch, then knowing almost the whole school is possible. Right now, my daughter has friends that spans all classes and all levels : ) They dont even talk about pri sch anymore.
Dynamics do change over time. Some of my daughter’s friends who were from the same pri sch and who used to be close in pri sch are now closer to others in sec sch from other pri sch.
To me, quantity of friends is not important.
Actually, I think it’s good for a non-affiliate to go to an affiliate sec sch. Good skill to learn breaking through an affiliate clique : )
Only speaking from my experience with one child in this environment though.
All’s good : ) -

Actually, back in the old days, you can do up to 10 subjects (I know because I would have had 10 subjects if I did not choose to drop them voluntarily in sec 4).
...
Back in the old days, we were only allowed to take max 9 subjects for O levels.
Mine were:
EL, HCL, Bio, Chem, Phy, AM, EM, Lit, 3rd Lang
...
One of the subjects that you had missed out on - Religious Knowledge. -

Strictly speaking I took total 10 subjects coz HCL and CL are counted as 2, but I sat for CL paper in Sec 3, and the other 9 subjects in Sec 4.
Anyway, times have changed, rules have changed. But different schools offer different subject combis, so best to check with individual schools before committing. -

Your time got L1R5?? :yikes:
RE: 3rd Language
I was one of those students who took 3rd language and regretted. Back in the old days, we were only allowed to take max 9 subjects for O levels.
Mine were:
EL, HCL, Bio, Chem, Phy, AM, EM, Lit, 3rd Lang
Because of this limitation, I wasn’t able to take a 2nd humanity on top of Lit which is compulsory. And to enter JC, you NEED to add 1 humanity for L1R5.
In the end I didn’t fare well for Lit and my L1R5 suffered simply because of that. If I didn’t take 3rd Lang, I could have taken Hist or Geog, and I would have a back up.
So my advise is to check with the Sec sch first what are the subject combi available for S3-4, and see if there is any “conflict” with 3rd Lang.
Are you a young chio bu mom? My time PSLE not even the 300 score kind :slapshead:
