Hi everyone!

I got 267 for PSLE with 4 A*s and merit for hcl. I am going to RGS as I already accepted the DSA CO there. Anyway, 267 qualifies for third Lang, right? I am really not sure coz I am overseas now and my grandma collected my results for me, so I haven't received the S1 option form. And which third Lang should I choose? So far I am thinking of choosing Japanese. Any ideas?
Also, do you know whether third Lang is very stressful and whether I should apply for it? Please advise, I am only a kid!
My best friend scored 252 (excluding HCL, I think tho not very sure). Do you think she qualifies for third Lang? I am not sure coz I didn't ask her yet, mainly coz I am overseas.
Please someone reply soon! And thanks so much in advance!!!

Ya she probably do. I got 252 too and I qualify for third lang including Japanese.

Does anyone know whether HCL marks are included only when it comes to girls but not boys?

Huh????? :? HCL bonus points are included only if you apply SAP schools. Gender doesn't matter.

:congrats: to all students that have done well in your PSLE!!


Umm may I know if I go to RGS with a t-score of 265 excluding HMT, will I be in a lousy class?

No lah. There are no lousy classes in RGS. 265 is a very decent score.

Hi! I need some advice. My ds got 257+2. What are his chances of getting into HCI? I am undecided between NJC and RV as 2nd choice. Is it tough at HCI eg. long hours? Thanks.

I scored 257+3(HCL). These are the schools I would like to enter(Not in any order):NJC, DHS, Cedar and River Valley. Could anyone from NJC, DHS or River Valley give me some information on the special programmes there? Thanks! I’m in a total dilemma over which school to go to.

Can we have some advice please

I think the other IP schools start as usual in the 2nd week of Jan, right?

I know the Raffles schools start in the 2nd week of Jan. But formal lessons after O level students admitted.

NJC also starts 2nd week of Jan. They help in orientation for the junior high while also having classes. The IP classes are separate from the non-IP (those that come in in JC1) as their curriculum differs.

Most in ACSI IP (that is, headed for IB in yr 5/6), do their HMT in Yr 4. My fren's son did that this yr. And they have a looooooong holiday from Nov to end Jan before they start on Yr 5!!!

I think the other IP schools start as usual in the 2nd week of Jan, right?

Just saw on the ACS thread that if a students clear HCL at year 4, he needs to take another 2nd language (not Chinese) for year 5 and 6.

Yes. A second language is a requirement for IB. So unlike in JCs, you can't drop your second language completely for Year 5/6 even if you cleared HCL at O levels. The advantage is that CL is very simple if you take the IB standard level at Year 4. So you can take Spanish or some exotic language at the basic level at Year 5/6, or continue with Chinese at Year 5/6.
