so, many will score AL 1 for Science, this year

I guess AL6 is T-score >258 Based on COP 258 for MGS. AL4 is probably 4 A-stars.
RI/RGS, HCI/NYGH have quota for DSA students. It is always the same every year. My DD school's 12 classes last year, 2 classes are for those DSA through GEP, another 2 classes for GEP/maths/science/elective programs combo, so left 8 normal classes for PSLE students. In these classes, there are some DSA through sports CCA, but not much, each sport max 2.

This is a common assumption but it is not necessarily correct. Many people think MOE looked at all students posted to MGS IP(IB) in 2020 PSLE, translated these students' raw marks to AL terms, and that the lowest AL score was AL6.

Instead, MOE took the raw marks of all 36,000 - 37,000 students that were not admitted via DSA and translated these raw marks to AL Scores. Then they re-posted all non-DSA students to a school based on last year's S1 option forms. AL4s were posted first, AL5s next, etc. MGS IP(IB) was full at AL6 under this \"simulation.\" Thus, there is no guarantee that the lowest AL6 is 2020 t-score of 258. MOE has confirmed what is written in this second paragraph is what they did.

T-score and AL are two completely different systems to rank the students and while there is a lot of overlap they do not map 1:1.

yesterday Chinese seems manageable, not that difficult.

English, also like not difficult. Science, so far, the vibe is easy. Thus, everything hinges on your ... Maths. If do well in Maths, many will end up in (RI / RGS)

Is there key for the English Editing/spelling and Comprehension Cloze.

My girl came home and also said science was an easy paper. Easiest among the 4 papers in her words.

Then die all AL 1 for science. Top schools oversubscribed all ballot
