Can I check for Y3 RGS students doing HCL, do they have to take the CL O level exams in Y3?

They only take HCL exam in Y4.

Thanks Zeal mummy, this means that everyone taking HCL is allowed to go for HCL O level in Y4? I was under the impression that there is certain grade they need to achieve for CL O level in Y3 or the school will request them to drop from HCL to CL in Y4.

You’re welcome!

My understanding is that the girls need to pass their HCL EOY overall, in order to progress on with HCL.

If she fails, she will have to take Chinese.. regarding this, it might be more accurate to check with your daughter’s Chinese teacher.

Hi GEP2KIDS,

It should be pass on overall and EOY.

In Y1-2, only the first 3 classes out of 12 classes in total, have students taking Chinese and some doing other MTs.. In Y3-4, there are 7 classes with students taking Chinese and other MTs. The last 6 classes out of 14 classes in total, the students do purely higher Chinese.

Hope this helps![/quote]

So students who choose not to take HCL at Y1 will be posted to 101-103?

According to the current timetable, yes. (Not sure if they will change it next year…)

Hi parents.


Happen to take a look at the Assessment framework for the sciences and maths for Yr4, and realised that the tests and EYA include all Sec 4 and Sec 3 topics. However unlike O level classes(where I think they would have finished teaching all new topics by end of term 2 or beginning of term 3), the lessons teach new topics all the way up to end of term 3, and EYA is in 3rd or 4th week of term 4.

Just wondering if there is any time at all for revision for the Yr 3 topics?

Thanks!

Hi,


Anyone can share the subject combination for Y3? Is it compulsory to do one humanities example Lit/Geo or History? Is I&A consider as one humanities subject? Thank you!

Hi,

…. Is it compulsory to do one humanities example Lit/Geo or History?
Is I&A consider as one humanities subject? Thank you!

This info is from 2 years ago.

It is not compulsory to do lit, geog, history. You can take a special programme (sp).
Eg phy and sap, along with the other 6 compulsory subjects, or bio and mep + 6 compulsory subjects.
This is 2L, 2M, 2S, 2H/SP.

I&A is a humanities subject.

I am guessing your concern is whether you can take 2L, 2M, 1H (i&a), 3S?

Hi parents, my girl will be in Sec 4 next year and based on her performance thus far, I think there is a strong need for tuition for Maths, Physics and Chemistry.


Mavis at Kovan offers tuition for IP students. Good to consider Mavis? Anyone has any experience from there?

Alternatively, any recommendations for tuitions, reasonably priced?

There are ex students from Raffles JC/NUS offering tuitions. Would be helpful to know if anyone has engaged such tutors and whether the tutee found it useful.

Thanks in advance
