hey, it's only bc different schools have different criteria, so I've not thot about it. RI uses 4.0 max GPA, but other schools use 4.2, 4.3, 4.5, so when a parent just randomly gives a 3.8 GPA as very good, it may not make sense to all, KWIM?

I see. What's the max GPA in NJC? Always curious to learn something new.

4.3[/quote]Thanks phankao. What's the range of scores on it? For eg., is >80% 4.0, >70% 3.8 etc?

Following the maths Olympiad thread. There are 75 smops platinum holders. Ds also came in among top 30 in nus high nmos, for acsi maths Olympiad he also came into the highest category. The only maths olympiad which he didnt win the top category is ri world maths contest. Looks like he and ri are not to be. But it is ok, we like acsi and nus high too just that it is much farther in distance. Didn't apply hci.

Hi RSS

Not to worry, base on your DS portfolio and SA1 score. I guess your DS has very high chance to get CO from RI.

All the best.i

They don't do a per-subject GPA actually but the guideline is this lah:

Above 85% is 4.3
Above 70% is 4.0
Above 65% is 3.5

the gap is huge between 4.0 and 4.3, a whopping 15 marks for a difference of 0.3 while only 5 marks to move from 3.5 to 4.0 !

not very balanced leh, at least to me

Hi

Yes, Yes. No tuition how can? I am not sure of sec school. As for primary school. I knew 2 top GEP girls from NYPS have more then 10 tuition class per week.

Those parents who has DS/DD in NYPS GEP Class will know who I am talking about..

I really admire those top students for PSLE, O-Level and A-Level who appeared in newspaper said that they do not have any tuition at all. With good time management and teachers help they are able to achieve good result and become the top students in Singapore. Some more there was one student last year in RPS, he not only top in PSLE but also able to skip one level. He is real gifted manz!!!

:yikes: :yikes: Where do they find the time for anything else?

They Live, Breathe, Eat, Sleep, Poo Around Tuition -ma!

another over generalisation

RI population : sec 1 to 4, 450 each = 1800; + J1 & J2 : 1200 each = 2400, total population = 4200. How many really have tuitions given their very packed time table ? based on 6 RI boys seen coming out from tuition centre ?

断章取义!

vk2010, my chinese isn't that good. What do the words in chinese mean?

Thanks. No wonder you said 3.8 not very good. :D[/quote]Actually it is not bad. There is no per subject GPA but an overall GPA. An overall of 3.8 to 3.9 usually comes about when the student has gotten all
\"A\" and Maybe 1 or a few \"A+\". Average GPA is around 3.2 to 3.5 generally. So 3.8+ is above average lah. Only cannot consider as among top student. Not unusual to have some students who are top in individual subjects among this group too. More indicative to look at their percentile than just GPA I find.
