Thank you for the info (often we only hear about the AL4(D) plus trifecta CO cases, etc), wish your child much luck on receiving good news from DHS and PSLE :rahrah: :rahrah: .
Let me share my experience as a GE kid parent.
My DS is an average student in p3, el around 80s and math are 90s range, he got into GE as a surprise as most of his classmates did better in P3 year end than him did not get thru. But his journey in GE is never smooth. His P4 GE EL ever got as low as 30% 😭 however his math is always the top. He is always bottom in class as both EL and science are very challenging for him.
His base is strong in MO, score numerous award in MO including nmos gold and top 4 in sch team but not top 30 individual.
Smops gold and mathlympic gold. RI Distinction with 97.85%
His P6 mid year GE total AL is 13 ( with math as 1 and science as 5), he was given the opportunity to do NUSH Y1 math and robotic module but unfortunately he is still drop from NUSH after round 2. We ever appeal and was rejected.
We gave up HCI DSA interview because the date clash with NUSH and thought his chance in NUSH was higher as he has done 2 modules with them.
My personal opinion NUSH selection is base on actual day performance and when I appeal they look at his Result.
Why do I say this, one of his classmates got GE subject AL5D in 4 subjects with 1 in math and 2 in science was dropped in round 2 as well but that gal do not plan to appeal. With her result she can easily enroll in any ip school without any doubt. Because she would definitely be AL4D in psle for sure.
My DS prelim is AL10 but scoring Al2 in math which is something I could not accept, his GE math is 1 but Ms math is 2 🙄. He did mention some questions he overthink and some questions he underthink.
His science and EL in MS is AL3, GE AL5. I would say the banding in GE vs MS, MSwill be at least 1-2 AL better than GE.
Our last hope is DHS now, praying hard DHS will accept him 🙏🙏.
Hope my inputs helps. -

Sounds about right... DS2 fits that profile, math is definitely his very obvious strength even in GE but in MS, he was doing pretty well in EL too, scoring well in compo in p3 etc. In GE however it is a different story. His EL writing is probably average at best among his classmates and he does struggle with the EL coursework. It is no walk in the park for him... so yes, \"proficient\" is relative!. I.e. being in the top 2% (number made up) of both Math and English would probably put you in the Top 1% of combined scores but that's not how the test is setup (in contrast, PSLE is more a top X% across all subjects when looking at the aggregate score). Of course, there will be some kids that are very very high in both Math and English and \"proficient\" is a relative term above (they may still be able to get AL1 or AL2 for all subjects).
Again, these are observations or guesses from the outside; I can't say one way or the other whether that's how it works... -

Hi,
My understanding (anyone feel free to add or correct):
#1. ...
#2. ...
2B. Come Sec 3, there isn't a difference and everyone had to select (and/or qualify for) combinations/programmes based on interest (and/or merit).
#3. ...
#1 yes
#2 yes
2B. My kid's school still bands gep students together in Y3-4 sbge classes. Mainstream students who score well are invited to join these classes
#3 yes -

This is the case for those SAP/GEP schools. For non-SAP GEP school, at least for P4 they do GEB papers for HCL.

The GEP kids do mainstream chinese papers now, they only do GEB papers for English, math and science

lee_yl\" post_id=\"2081798\" time=\"1662870420\" user_id=\"17023:
The most difficult subject to get AL1 for GEP papers is EL, not CL. As for prelim, it depends on schools, some school's prelim is very hard, e.g. my DS got his prelim result last week which is even worse than his SA1 result(GEP papers), and his classmates no one get AL4 in this prelim but in SA1 there are several 4D.
I doubt GEB announce these statistic. Not likely the majority of the GEP cohort scores AL4-AL6 for P5 and P6 mid year. Firstly, GEP papers are harder as compared to mainstream papers. Secondly, not easy to score AL1 for Chinese for most, especially so for GEP exam papers.
For P6 prelims more likely, but I doubt anybody can confirm if it’s the majority. Back to the topic of DSA, P6 prelim results don’t matter. -
DHS send out DSA result via mail last Friday, please monitor your letterbox this few days. Good luck to all including my boy 🍀🙏🙏🙏
