MandyMummy:
Most of the Raffles students are only hoping for a decent pass in HCL, very few people want to ace it. So not many taking tuition for HCL unless they are desperate for a pass in Yr 4.
Oh really ?? But this is NOT what i have heard fr my niece fr RGS who had taken her HCL this yr ( yr 5 next yr ).
She told me that practically every1 she knows take HCL tuition as RGS HCL std is low ( is she who said it, not me horr)
and they are afraid of not getting an \"A \"in HCL O lvl exam, hence better to have more coverage. -
Augmum:
Maybe your niece and MandyMummy's source move in different circles. So some want As, some don't want. :rotflmao:MandyMummy:

I wouldn't say our chinese is super easy, i would say it's only average. But most people who chose RGS is cos they simply don't get Chinese so it's better to pick Eng Sch over other Chi Schs like NYGH/DHS/cannot remember. This explains why our Chi standard is lower. We do have plenty of students from China though.MandyMummy:

So most of them will prefer to spend more time on other subjects, especially those in RA, rather than focusing on HCL for O level. The %A for O level HCL is below national average a few years back. Dunno whether they managed to pull up the standard or not.Augmum:
