My advice is that, where given a chance to, try to take Express. There's a need to expose children to challenges, rather than protecting them. If indeed they don't do well, it's fine to go to NA stream in Sec 2

Choosing NA with SBB, the differences become more pronounced when choosing subject combination in Sec 3. Choices will be very limited, and at least for the schools I know, there's a limit of 3 SBB subjects.

She has already decided on NA in good schools. She would like to know when they will know if they can do subjects in Express. Is it auto or you need to opt for it?

It will be offered by school.

Helping a friend to ask. If a kid opted for NA, for SBB when do they know if they are eligible to take some subjects at express?

Criteria to be eligble: AL5 or better in the relevant PSLE subject (English / Math / Science / Mother Tongue)

When?

Thank you!!

Hi…

What r the chances of getting the 2 bonus points for CCA participation for purposes of JC admission? Heard that for some sec schools, it’s abt 95%. Is that quite standard for all schools?

Good chance to get into SNGS or RVHS, otherwise a very good chance (90%) to be in CHIJ TPY.

Not sure what you meant by MGS affiliation ... do you mean its affiliation to ACJC?

All the best.

:thankyou: :celebrate:
Yes affiliation to ACJC
But MGS is honestly just a filler because COP last year was 8 and factor of citizenship

Will update here when result is out 🙏😇

My fren’s daughter’s science also fell from AL1 to AL3. Her science is usually AL1 every term, she even got top in cohort for science. So her AL3 was a complete shock to her too.

Mine more or less maintained for math, science and Chinese but improved in English. English was the shocker for us, totally unexpected.

Same case with my DD her Sci was from AL1 slided down to AL3 was completely shocking,
not a TOP primary/SAP school but she’s in the Science club, chosen for Science (and Math) Olympiad, got several awards in Sci and Best of Science subject (top 5% cohort) this year.

She could get overall AL6 if maintained prelim Sci score, but things happened :imanangel:
Still grateful with what she gets now 🙏😇 and we fully accept the result without prejudice 🤣

*the girls in the school are talking about the “sh💩t” and mosquito question until now because they still didn’t know the answer 😅😅

My dd is in a SAP school. Top 10% in cohort and top 3 in class every year. We could not accept it. We requested for review.

:yikes: :yikes: :yikes:
OMG what a nightmare….
I hope she’s okay and not discouraged
It must be very hard for you and her

If I were you I would also appeal and ask for review!! But how about school choices while waiting for the appeal result (guess won’t be so fast), anyone experience/ heard abt similar cases before?

Hi may I get some opinions. If my DS gets AL16, is it wise that I choose the 6 choices ranging from schools with COP 15 to COP18? Or is it safer to buffer safety net till COP19?
