        SSS is remedial, mainly for weaker students who fail or barely pass the subject. I don’t think any other students can raise their hands for it unless they feel like they can’t cope with the subject?

          Oic…My dd didnt do well for one of the humanities, the teacher did say in email those who want can ask for it. She mus have falls in between the range as she is not strong too. But i don dare ask her as she seem resistant. I thought its always good of there is some remedial then esp when she doesnt have tuition for the subject. Guess it can be sensitive to insist…

            Yeah agree. Let them tell us what they need. I thought SSS is usually for maths sci or Chinese. I didn't know they have that for every subject.

              Hi parents. May I check how is MSG calculated? I know about weightage for each WA (10%, 15%, 15%, 60%) but not sure whether the calculation takes into consideration the raw score or only the grades (A1, A2 etc)? Thank you.

                MSG for NYGH is calculated only using the grades (A1, A2 etc). My understanding is limited, but MSG is calculated by adding up the numbers in the grade (A1 = 1 and A2 = 2), account for the weightage of each subject and then divide by the number of subjects.

                LA is double weighted. History + Geography is half weighted each because it is a single subject.

                  All subjects should be of equal weightage. No more double weightage for LA. But do note the difference in weightage between P1, P2 and P3 when calculating the final score. But for msg calculation, LA is same weightage as other subjects.

                  History and Geography also considered as 2 subjects.

                    After all that weightage for each WA is taken into consideration, you get a final score for that subject at the end of the year in the report book. That score translates to A1 (75 and above), A2 (70 to 74), B3 ...

                    MSG = the average of all these scores (A1 = 1 pt, A2 = 2 pts, B3 = 3 pts).

                    And yes, all subjects are of equal weightage - no double weightage for languages or maths or science or humanities.

                      Didn't know NYGH has changed the MSG calculation format.

                        Hi all,


                        To those experienced NYGH parents, what are the risks of not taking Physics in Sec 3?

                        My dd is planning to do Double Science, Double Humans for 8 subj combi. Her Math is fairly ok, but she struggles with HCL. With the MSG 3.0 requirement for promotion to HCI in Sec 4, I’m maybe worried that taking Physics will drag down her MSG. Plus she will have both HCL and Physics to cope.

                        Would not taking Physics as Triple Sci combi affect her future options? She qualifies for it in previous year/terms.
