      I’m doing MSP but in Bishan though. Attendance fluctuates a lot. And it depends on the teacher. For my teacher, we can get excused if we tell him beforehand that we are unable to make it to class. As for make up classes, it depends on the teacher’s flexibility too.


      Most of the people in my class have A2 and above for their final score. So the standard is not very high, for sec 1-3 level, and the teacher does do his best to try to help the students push up their scores. I’m not sure abot sec 4, but I heard from my teacher that the standard will be higher.

        Hi Thanks! So the lessons are twice a week as stated? It seems difficult to try to cope with two external lessons a week. Esp if the centre is not quite exactly next door.

        Oso is the dropout rate high? I understd most of the other third lang eg Jap, French etc, many drop out within the first yr. Oh well, at least my elder one did. :roll:

        Good luck for the exams next yr then, I guess u must be doing the O lvls

          Yeah lessons are twice a week. I’m not sure about dropout rate at MOELC since sec 1 and 2 MSP classes are conducted in school. However, at sec 3 level, there’s not many students, so we have to go to MOELC for lessons. Speaks about the dropout rate within my school. And yes, I’m doing O levels next year.

              Hi, anybody with a child on Express track, taking MSP for the 2 bonus points? Is it true another advantage is that the MSP grade can be counted as a Humanities subject in L1R5?

                  Have decided to apply for MSP. Since now is the only chance to do so. Just do it and try out first. Will sort out the logistics later.


                  DS is not a visual learner, cannot manage HCL even if he qualified. Agreed he picks up alphabet / phonics - based languages much more easily.

                    Is HCL so difficult to manage? I believe Chen Lao Shi can help.

                      Secondary school CL is already difficult enough, HCL will be impossible for Zac.

                        Actually, I think focusing on CCAs (for the bonus points) would be more fun. And baker road has affiliation, so Zac would get 4 points max with a wholesome CCA.
