That depends on the student - however IP will definitely stretch the student.

Stress is right, my friend had to go see a shrink.

One more thing though. Don't go for an IP school unless you want a large dose of classroom politics, homework and pressure.

Isn't that part of the education system here in Singapore ?
I'm all for IP in fact, because it guarantees me a place in JC and I would have much more time preparing for A Levels.
Classroom politics? What do you mean?
Homework and pressure is something I would have to cope in secondary school, whichever one I choose.

I agree its a 'finally'. Without intervention and moderation top students would be from china and marks variance between schools would be wider. Now no need headache to choose primary school, every school everywhere in singapore is the same.

What's wrong with students from China? If they're talented and willing to go for it, I'm sure the Singaporeans can challenge them so please, don't lament and just work harder.
I see you are for conformity. Typical Singaporean, you are.

And your evidence for that is?

I studied in an IP school, and I really enjoyed myself. The homework is managable (and it teaches you good time managemet skills, something absolutely necessary for Uni), the peer pressure was healthy and my classmates were great. Competitive, but always helpful and certainly not the kind to stab you in the back. The pressure comes not so much from others, but more from yourself actually IMO.

All of the things you said are found in most schools, not just IP schools.

Go for it livewith_vanilla!

Ohkay, then go for IP. No, in other schools in Singapore the kids tend to be more simple minded and are under less amounts of stress.
Classroom politics? Ok, things like the social hierachy, bootlicking teachers and stuff, and the intensity of this is 10x that as compared to normal schools.
Homework x10, pressure x10, you sure you want it?

And your evidence for that is? ...

I am STUDYING in an IP school, and while I love this whole system and all, I find my classmates absolutely disgusting. It varies from school to school, really. In my school, almost everyone is for backstabbing, someone stole my notes before the exams, and I actually kept them painstakingly in a file in my bag. Go figure.

Hi! All


My friend told me that the highest psle score in Nanyang is 272. However, there are more than 200 students can get more than 250 in psle. Hence, more happy faces can be seen everywhere in the Nanyang school.

It is much better than only a few students can score high in psle.

Am I right?

i am sorry but i am a student from nyps and the highest is 276
