When a student opt to take HCL in primary 5 & 6, he/she has to take both the 'normal' chinese & HCL paper, same goes for the PSLE. The 'normal' chinese marks will be included in the T-score whereas the HCL will b graded as Distinction, Merit or Pass which will give u bonus pts for entry into SAP sec sch.
Just curious. Why does she have both Chinese and HCL marks. I thought each student either takes Chinese or HCL?margaret:

Maybe this is different for each school?? :?[*]

Hi, this is my first time posting but I have been reading kiasu for a long time. Thank you everyone for sharing so I thought I should give back. My dd was interviewed at RI yesterday. While I was waiting, I noticed that there was either a vice principal or prinicipal in every room, so I don't know if the students were grouped differently. My dd's questions were:
a) What world problem would you like to solve?
b) tell us about your project/portfolio
c) What difficulties you encountered as a leader?
d) Would you choose RI or HCI?
e) What is one personal strength?
I hope this helps. Good luck :lovesite: -

heard many girls will be 'eliminated\" after half day selection test, I told DD just do her best and even if she didnt get selected after the whole DSA process it is still OK, just have to be focused and work hard for PSLE. -

Hi,
Which schools did your dd apply for aside from SOTA? And which ones has she heard back from?Maisu:
To jitoh,
Your calculations were right! It all started with where, thru wat??? After her school open house on secondary schools, she set her mind on a particular school which we strongly disagreed but after consideration, we supported her as that was her dream school, than she was supposed to pick another school just in case... N one after the other she wanted to try, so we went ahead. but I believe too that it might b stressful for some kids, but my DD enjoys it, to her it is just another tests, not a study subject, so do her best.
But I must admit, I am the one who is more kang cheong of the outcome after I was introduced to the kiasu forum and this is a GREAT FORUM!!!
Am impressed, u sure did yr homework, ( u even know about... RGS, NYGH, SCGS n NUSH. she did not make it to NUSH. -

Good luck on your dd's applications.

To jitoh,
Ha ha, I tot I could create some suspension, actually I was the one whom blur n don know wat was TA they were referring till my DD told me. My calculation mistake, it’s 2 cca n 2 academics, 1 TA. Told her she might end up with no CO, but is good enough to pull thru GATs. -

Just wondering are students in the high ability or twinning classes considered as mainstream fro DSA ?
These are the students chosen by MOE based on the GE selection tests to take part in the special programme.
Anyway most of them should be good with math.
Noticed from DS's cohort most of these students applied DSA for NUSH and NJC.
Would be considered mainstream. My son was in twinning in p4, but opted out when he chose not to do HCL in p5/p6.
