Hi! I'm curious about the LEAPS leadership points awarded for the 4 leadership boards in RGS. Just wondering if anyone can enlighten me. Couldn't find any information on this in iNET.


Thank you!

For RGS, range of marks and their corresponding GPA is as follows:

marks -- GPA
80-100 - 4.0
70-79 - 3.6
65-69 - 3.2
60-64 - 2.8
55-59 - 2.4
50-54 - 2.0
45-49 - 1.6
40-44 - 1.2
0-39 - 0.8
For the Sec 1s and 2s the overall GPA is computed by taking the GPA of the English, Chinese, Maths, Science, and 1 of the Humanities to be the 5 core subjects. Then of the remaining subjects, take the 2 best, plus the 5 core and average it to get your overall GPA. Unless you take 3rd language or something (e.g. MEP, SAP), you should only have 7 subjects for Sec 1s and Sec 2s, that means it is like taking the average of all your subjects.

For Sec 3s and 4s, you will have more subjects, so besides the 5 core subjects (English, Chinese, 1 Maths, 1 Science, 1 Humanities) you can pick the 2 best from 4 remaining subjects (excluding 3rd language, MEP, SAP etc).

Your marks are rounded up. e.g. 69.1 will give you 70.

Your marks (hence, your GPA) for each subject on your report card may be subjected to moderation. Hence, it may be higher than what you calculated, but will not be lower.

As for who takes charge in calculating the GPA, it is the computer...

mjl,
u stated that the GPA may be subjected to moderation, are u only referring to Sec 3 and Sec 4,
or it also applies to Sec 1 and Sec 2.

btw, can i clarify with u, for Sec 1 , is Eng and Literature considered as 2 separate subjects or 1 subject,
as u stated 5 core and 2 other subjects.
TIA

Hi Augmum, GPA moderation applies to all levels but it is not common. English and Literature are 2 separate subjects.

thks for the reply......
so in RGS, eng and lit are considered as 2 subjects
u see, u mentioned 7 subjects, i was thinking what are the 7
becos in my gal's sch (DHS) eng and lit, is known as Language arts which is 1 subject.

so after moderation, what is the normal increase in the final computed GPA, any idea ??
