My friend's kid had a CO from SOTA but unfortunately didn't do well in PSLE so was posted to a mainstream school. She managed to get back to SOTA on appeal.

The pupil must have missed by 1 or 2 points, it's possible.

I don't know what her score was, but didn't make it to Express.

Do Year 2 students at SOTA have to choose their subject combinations for Year 3/4, like all other schools? If so what sort of combinations does SOTA offer?

Yes. In y3 either Physics and Chem or Bio and Chem and all other subjects. Eg. Humanities, Maths, Chinese, Literature and their respective art form.

In Y4 a different combi again. New subjects like Econs and Anthropology.

Thanks dasalo. Year 3 subject combi sounds similar to mainstream schools. Anthropology is completely different though. Do they choose to do the 3 higher and 3 lower subjects in Year 3 too? (I'm not sure of the correct terminology.)

[dasalo]

Yes, that’s in Y5 when they have to choose 3 HL (higher) and 3 SL (standard) plus 3 compulsory component which is TOK (theory of knowledge), EE (extend essay consists of 4K words) and CAS (community and Action Services)

Thanks dasalo.
