What is the criteria to go up to the next year?

Hi, need some advice. My dd did quite well for PSLE and is interested to apply for NYGH or NJC. She likes NYGH better but I am concerned about the level of Chinese standard as it is a SAP sch. She scored A for Chinese during PSLE and did not take HCL though she qualified. I am not sure if she could cope as her Chinese is not great. However, she is hardworking. Just like to ask the following questions:


1) Is HCL very difficult in NYGH ? What is the minimum grade one must score to be promoted to Sec 2? Is Chinese Literature one of the examinable subject and are the marks included in overall score ? Will one be greatly disadvantaged if she does not do well for HCL ?

2) Is it true that it is compulsory to score at least B3 for HCL at O' level to be exempted for Chinese at JC though MOE requirement is only a pass in HCL ? <br><br>3) If one does not meet the minimum criteria for HCL of B3 at NYGH for O’ level and have to continue taking Chinese at JC, will the subject be still examinable for the next 2 years even though in theory by MOE standard, one has already passed?

Can anyone tell me if Strings in NY is tough? I heard from some seniors that there are lots of practices every week. Is that true?

I must firstly qualify that I graduated in 2008 and hence don't remember the exact criteria precisely (and at any rate, it might have changed already).

In my time it was based on Mean Score Grade (basically, using the O level grading system, take the number for each subject's grade ie A1=1, A2=2 etc, add them together and divide by the number of subjects to get the average), with some subjects having a heavier weightage (eg Language Arts). I think it was MSG of 3.0 or better to get promoted from Sec 1 - 3, MSG 2.5 or better to get promoted to J1 from Sec 4.

In short though, unless one is terribly lazy, it's actually very rare to get such a poor MSG. It's honestly NOT difficult to get promoted at all as long as one is consistent.
