Typically, the Top 20% students for the subject are offered H3 for that subject.

how do you define \"Top 20% \" ?

Is this Top 20%

based on the entire JC1 cohort 's in their end-of-year-JC1
\"Overall\" 4H2 results combined

OR


Is it
Top 20%, within \"each individual \" H2 subject (Econs / Chemistry / Physics ),
regardless of whatever subject combination been taken ?

It is top 20% for the subject, plus overall results must achieve MSG of 2.5 and below.

My girl said block tests very difficult. Does hci really set killer BT papers?

Usually, the results would not turn out as disastrous as the students may perceive. They felt it is a killer, because it is their first time doing such a major assessment and it is no doubt quite challenging for most students.

That said, sometimes individual subjects may pitch their difficulty slightly off, either too easy or too hard. But across 4 subjects, it would likely \"average out\".

Ask her not be discouraged, just use the test to figure out what she is weak in and work positively forward!

She's doing PCME like most regular students, no specials. Switched from sports to performing arts, so was bz with SYF earlier on, now took up leadership pos. Work is definitely more fast-paced in JC. NYGH definitely a breeze in comparison.

Lol! It's true \"interest\" conquers all. But I worry the timetable will be neither here nor there for H2 Arts; in the end everyday time is wasted in between the breaks just to wait for \"interest\" lesson start late afternoon.

My understanding is that Maths is pegged somewhere in between our times Maths C and F Maths. The current standard F Maths is much higher than our times. And becoz of the requirement of one contrasting subject, very few people choose F Maths. Most courses in NUS or NTU do not require F Maths.

Also, for H3 Maths, not every teacher can confidently say that he or she can do all the A Levels questions. :shock:

[/quote]Wow! Haha. Everyone is so smart and your dd is smart too! Your dad's PCME - 4H2 or 3 H2 & Econs (H1)? How many classes are there for PCME and normal lesson ends at what time? Didn't know the cca can start so late.. :nailbite: so really not a breeze
