Just wondering whether need to go to school for those exam days which are exempted?

No need if you don't have a to sit for the paper. Other pupils also go home after paper, there will be no lessons.

I have a quick question on the MSG grading in Sec 3:


Msg 1 = 75% (A1) and above?

Msg 4 and below = 60% (B4) and above?

Hope some kind student and/or parent can help enlighten. Thanks!

Hi, I thought the msg syst is the same for yr 1 to 4. It is the total grade of all subjects divided by total no of subjects examined. A1 is 75 and above, A2 70-74, B3 65-69, B4 60-64.


Can anyone pls pm me sec 2 maths curriculum? This IP program covers topics from different levels in the 0 level text so it is difficult to follow

ksmama’s reply is correct. MSG is the average of all the grades. Thus if someone achieve a MSG of 2, it basically mean that the average score for all the graded subjects is between 70 to 74.

Thanks for the clarification.

Another question, ds is in Sec 3 and he has signed up to take the Chinese \"o\" levels paper in November this year.
May I know:

1) if it is compulsory for all Sec 3 students to take it (since they are not doing O levels next year?

2) any advantages/disadvantages to taking the Chinese O level paper in Sec 3?

3) would they be taking the Chinese O level paper again in Sec 4?

thanks in advance.

Does anyone know if HCI is strict about its promotion criteria of MSG less than 4 for sec 3 students? That is, any exceptions to promote to Sec 4 if slightly exceed MSG 4?


Am waiting with bated breath for exam results to be released…

From what I last heard, I believe it is compulsory for HCI boys in the IP to take Chinese at Sec 3. In fact I was just on this topic with my boy yesterday. The school (believe NYGS too) will want the boys in the IP program to clear Chinese by Sec 3 and unless they scored badly/not good enough, they will not be required to take in Sec 4.
