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 ??

Hi Hans,

The girls take the following subjects in Year 1:
English
Math
Mother Tongue
Biology/Chemistry/Physics*
Literature
History
Geography

(Bio, Chem and Physics are taught and examined separately. One each in each semester.)

Those are the 7 examinable subjects.

Some students may choose to take an 8th examinable subject such as a Third Lang, MEP, SAP, CSP, MSP, RSP etc.

In addition, the girls also take the following subjects: Philosophy, Aesthetics, Speech & Drama, PE... (can't remember what else there is).

Hi jtoh,

The mean & median GPA scores are normally released during the Principal's talk after the SPM sessions the following June/July.
