Thanks for the info!


Does anyone know what an aggregate of 220 translates to in terms of As? Especially since A is 75-90…that’s such a wide range.

SSmama,

have you read about the http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1474&start=0?
it is pretty tricky to gauge what grades will get which psle aggregate score as the standard of the cohort needs to be taken into consideration.

just aim for the As and A*s, try your best, hope for the best and accept whatever results that comes along.

Hello jedamum,

I’ve heard about the T-score…sounds tricky! Gosh, I feel like I’ve entered a black hole.

How about Henry Park? Does it have any affiliation?

Hi onemore parent,


No secondary school affiliation for Henry Park Primary - I’m afraid.

The national "average" PSLE score is about 210-220 range I think. Most popular secondary schools minimum entry score is at least 240, therefore your child has to be above average academic ability to enter such schools. Therefore it makes "good" sense that you opt for affiliation school if possible because the cut-off point for affiliated primary school can be "40" marks lower! Example, to get into SCGS Secondary express is at least 250 for "outsiders" but if you are affiliated, you get in at 200 point. Less stress & pressure in Primary 6 if you are in affiliated school. But of course, you pray that the secondary school does not increase the minimum cut off point for affiliated school when your child is in P6!

Any definite answer with regards to

NYPS to HwaChong?

My husband graduated from Chinese High, now know as Hwa Chong Institution. Will that guarantee my son a place under phase 2A1 if he is also in the alumni?
