Hi - we are in the same situation. My girl has qualified for the SBA program but has not been placed in an SBA class. I assume this is just because some of the class posting is only provisional at this stage and it will all be clarified on the first day of school but if anyone has any thoughts or further info on this, please do let us know. Thanks

It says on the school website that AL1 in maths and science will be placed in one SBA class. And AL1 in English will be placed in another SBA class.

Hihi,
Any parents here successfully had their daughters joined MGS through DSA-Netball?
I really like the school’s Mission, Values and Vision.
Pls share your experience with me if it is possible. Thanks! -
Hi all,

Dear parents, my daughter is currently in MGS Sec 2 and applying for Yr3 IP selection . There will be a Selection Test (Written) in August, may I know anyone know what kind of test is it about?
Kindly advise! Many thanks! 🙏🙏🙏 -
your Sec 2 daughter, at aged 14,
is independent enough,
to source for info herself.
MGS (Secondary school premises) got any internal school library ?
1)
can ask the librarian there, whether library got access to any stored sample past year paper(s), for taking Sec 3 " IB " entrance tests ?
2)
Another way is,
your Sec 2 daughter attend a weekly Cca ?
can ask your daughter to find out herself,
does she happen to know of any Seniors, inside her Cca group :
whether any Senior (from Cca) have ever transfered track before,
from end-of-Sec2 "O-level" track into the new Sec3 "IB" track ?
If Yes,
your girl can approach this transfered-across-curriculum-track-Senior, for advice.
3)
During recess time break everyday, from Monday to Friday,
your daughter can ask her fellow classmates / school mates during recess time break at canteen,
if they know of any Senior (student) ever transfered curriculum track before, at the end of Sec 2.
If Yes,
can ask them for this pupil’s (Senior) name & contact number and get your girl to ask this Senior, for advice & ask all the "burning" questions, that your daughter have.
4)
This is the easiest method.
Your daughter have any friends (school-mates) in school (MGS), currently from or studying inside the existing "IB" track ?
If Yes,
your daughter can approach them for a sample of their past year "IB" exam paper(s), to take a look.
Why ?
Because
the standard of this "entrance" qualifying test end-of-Sec2 curriculum transfered paper(s), from the O-level track switching over into the new Sec3-IB-track, set
standard wise :-
should be very similar,
to those current IB-exam papers set or encountered by their current existing (Year 2 to Year 4) IB students, who are taking their IB tests (exam) faithfully, from regular Term time
(Term 1 to Term 4). -

The test is a requirement to determine if your daughter a) meets the criteria to be considered top-10% (that's equivalent to the 'old' PSLE 250), and b) will make the cut for however many places they have left for the IP leading to ACS(I) IB. The test covers reasoning ability in several domains. phtthp is right to say that the school may have past years' or sample papers for examination, and there's no harm asking the school office for clarification. However, they may not release actual papers for you to look at.
