:oops: what is MT?


My DD only go for High Chinese when she is P3. I did not hear that they got divide in Chinese in P2.

Hi ctc61t

So after P2 the school would normally stream with 2 or 3 top classes? Meaning M, A2 & S. These classes would have the chance to expose to Higher Chinese? How to qualify for HMT? Looking at MT result at the end of P2 or overall result?

Since the school will not have exam for P2s next year, it may be difficult to stream the students.

Although there won't be exam for P2s, Mdm Lee mentioned there would be a lot of \"exercises\" (aka tests).

So does it mean the whole class move up together again - since no exams? How do they prepare them for GEP then??? :?

I asked the HOD MT how the school would stream the pupils then. Her reply was \"cannot stream\"! :stupid:

What is there to prepare for GEP? :scratchhead:

I am referring preparing the students for GEP selection tests as I understand that all students will take them in Pri 3.

Hi QMS,

You get the answer from Mdm Lee during the P1 oridentation that totally no exam? Perhaps maybe have to wait for the new Principal Mrs Wong Siew Shan to arrive on 15 Dec where we would have better answer.

This is really weird. If they had intended not to have exams for the P2's in 2011, then they shouldnt have subjected them to P1 exams this year. It's like they take exams for 1 year and none the next. Cannot understand the rationale behind this :?

I know. But, I thought GEP is to test whether a child is gifted or not. Hence, is there a point preparing them? :scratchhead:

I also know that there are many centres propagating their success rate in getting their students into GEP after attending their programs. However, I am skeptical whether a child who gets into GEP through such method will be able to manage his/her studies when he is in the program.

Of course, this is just my personal opinion.
