Thank you! I hope that in the midst of all the A level prep and for those who are participating / selected for PSC psychometric/scholarship selections, early applications/admissions + all the other commitments that kids have, they have a capacity to be able to handle rejections and disappointments and that they will stay sane.

Kids must have a backup plan in order to stay sane?
If there is no 退路，in the kids’ limited worldview (home-tuition-school), they may feel that they have no more alternative, that it’s the end of the world for them, and their thoughts may just spiral into 走投无路.

When it comes to Uni choices, I get my kids to give me 2 choices. It is a must. It’s like 1st choice maybe Dentistry, if can’t get in, then 2nd could be finance (for example). So long as they know there are other alternatives in life, this will help them to cushion the impact of disappointment.

Hi sim,
Do you mind sharing his RP Prelim result? Does the EA include scholarship offer as well?

I just found out from this year onwards, no more display of grades percentile in the report card inside the ISP portal. Do parents know about this and provided the sch any feedback? Who do we know how our kids fare if no percentile? Do they still have grade deflation?

It's in line with MOE directions, so it seems. TPE did not have percentile tables as it is no longer considered a block test.

However, I am not sure if the school will release percentile tables for promos and prelims as those are exams.

What is TPE?
Anyway, it's now a black box once again.....sigh*....not being ks but just trying to give ourselves assurance that our kids are doing ok in school. This assurance has disappeared and caused a bit of stress. I have to resort to asking my girls to go the informal way to find out.

TPE = Timed Practice Exercise.

It was called Block Tests last year and prior.

I take it as ignorance is bliss :rotflmao:

no leh, they just received their block tests results last week and this has already been uploaded as official assessments (30% or so I think), not the regular class practice tests.

Most TPE results have been released.
