Today they will be getting back the test papers...heard fm my DS 2 failed Maths!! (1 boy n 1 girl)...very worry =(( wat will happen to those who failed ??

Will the teachers give feedback via phone or email on students academic performance ? ...can advise ? thanks !

Yes, the maths paper was indeed a tough paper,
Heard gal mentioned the day when she reached home,
now, still waiting for her to come bk to update me.......

Fail in any subj will drastically pulled down the overall GPA,
a D grade will have a GPA of only 1.0

U can email the subj teacher if u wanna feedback with regards to the results of yr child,
But i have never tried before.......think they will entertain.....

I have no idea abt HMTL tuition esp for DHS HCL...
Ya, gal said many pupils could not get good grades for HCL ,
even those who are very good in their chinese( those who came fr SAP pri sch).

DHS HCL is def higher std than most of the sec sch......
I ever tried giving my gal an O level paper to do certain components,
she could score better than the school test/exam paper.
As for this EOY HCL paper, gal said that the summary writing was different fr the usual practice,
i have yet to see what went wrong ....

Ya, every subject seems so difficult...even now only in sec 2.....more to come.... :roll:

If students score below B4 for the 2 languages, do they have to retain?

[JieTing]

Hi all, need your advice.


My DS is not sure to take 4 H2 or 3 H2 next year.

Is it true that student with 4 H2 will stand a better chance to apply for scholarship?

Hi Augmum,


how are you? i have not been following the thread…is nothing2do still active?

anyway from next year onwards, our kids’ grade will be L1R5… that means at least one humanities is required for computation of score. my DD says that many of her friends are thinking of going for 2 sci and 2 humanities now…did your dd tell you anything like this?

wonder if there will be 13 triple sci classes next year…

the requirement for promo criteria for languages is at least a C, not B
(if B, aiyo, lots of pupils will )
RV needs at least a B4 isit ??

hi lovingmum
long time din see u ard here. glad to hear fr u again.

No, nothing2do seems to be disppeared ....haha

yes, next yr onwards will change to L1R5, and promo criteria raised to GPA of 2.4.

this yr number of triple science classes is 10, not 13 leh .
yes, i also heard that this yr there is a high demand of choosing 2 sciences and 2 humanities
fr the sch poll, probably is becos of the change in L1B5.

so yr gal choosing 2 science and 2 humanities?

hey, yr gal hist T left liao.....

Oosp.....it's 10 classes not 11, edited.

Augmum:

alright, i have taken a look at the details of 2010 subject options results, summarised them as below :

1) 10 triple sciences classes, with subject combo of 3 S with geog, history or literature.
2) 1 class of double science, double humanities
3) 2 x 7 - units classes, the rest are 8 -units classes
4) 1 \"O\" level class
(the above are best to what my eyes can see.........manual sorting)

[Augmum]
