Hi,


Will it be too stressful to be in E & F class???

[quote=\"ctct61t\"]My DD will start their SA2 test from next Monday. I hope my DD can go to express class next year.

What do u mean by express class?

Express class E and F will be 2 good classes for main stream students with good SA2 results.[/quote]

I dont think the E and F classes are stressful. In fact, i feel that the teachers prepare them well for PSLE. The students from E and F classes are quite smart.

seems like E and F classes appear to be equivalent to what parents normally call ... Higher Ability classes (HA) - some bright girls who clear GEP round 1 ? :?


whereas P, Q, R are the 3 GEP classes (selected based on strong in English & Maths) ?

Are you talking abt the P2s going on P3s? If so, I think they no longer have the Es and Fs segregation. I recall the teachers saying that each of the P3 classes will be a multi talented class. :boogie:

Hi phtthp, so what does each class strong in P Q R? No wonder they split the dd & her gd friend. The teacher just said that they split to let the students mixed with one another. How innocent I am.

Lynn, it's true they do try to split good friends up to try to get them to mix with each other. And no, the GEP classes aren't grouped according to strengths in English and Math.

Hehe, I agree, all P3 classes are multi talented class.

I'm talking about P3s going to P4s, there will be 2 HA classes starting P4 onwards.

Not all those that get to E / F Class are extremely smart.

If they cant cope ,they will be back to their normal classes. It happens all the time.

I thought those who got into the E and F classes in P5 & 6 was based on SA2 rankings.

This is my understanding too. My older dd in the F class and the PSLE results were quite good for her year. Around 255 to 268, highest for that year was 283 if i remember correctly.
