Hi,

Maths was tough but Science was very simple. According to some people that is... And from what I've seen too, it looks very easy to me...

Really ... but I heard that many did badly for Science, even a top neighbourhood school.

i think some pupils who said that science was easy mainly becos there’re 30 MCQ questions, so it was “easy” to put in an answer, ( u can even tikam tikam) unlike maths .
But if one would seriously think in-depth, MCQ questions could be tricky, easily lose marks.
for science, it is difficult “to predict” the final marks obtained (esp for booklet B).
marks could be deducted here and there unknowningly where key words/key concepts are missing.

time for secondary school education!!!

In RGS the minimum (in the past) is 272. RI should be slightly lower.


Please note that there are decimal points behind each T-score that is invisible to us.

Hi atutor2001,

Usually, RI is 3 points below RGS, so the T-score could be 269...

Last year’s cut off point for RGS was 263 and RI’s was 262.

Hi turquoise,

They are actually discussing about the minimum COP required get into GEP class in RI based on 2009 PSLE score.

RGS has done away with specific classes for GEP pupils and think it should be the same for RI. GEP pupils are now allocated to certain classes in Sec 1 together with the high scores in PSLE from the mainstream and mainstream pupils who have secured a place via DSA (w/ the exception of those who got through Sports DSA). There is NO more differentiation between the primary GEP pupils and the mainstream pupils, all of them go through the same Raffles Programme; which means it does not matter if you are allocated into a class with GEP pupils or not.

Oops! Thanks Dharma.

Amongst the so-called GEP classes, are they streamed according to PSLE results too? I know you've mentioned they're streamed according to MEP/SAP/MT etc, but does aggregate scores come into play too? For eg., the class that Yen Jean is in, are there more top scorers there?

Thanks.

Hi turquoise,

I don’t think streaming the pupils based on PSLE scores is the main allocation priority as compared to the allocation of pupils with the purpose of simplifying the timetabling. My girl is in the MEP class where the PSLE scores of the girls range from 240+ TO 294. I think there is a fairly good mix of the pupils in the last 5 classes.

Not sure which class is Yen Jean in but about 5 of the 15 top PSLE scorers happen to be in the same class for the Sec 2 batch this year.

Hi Dharma

I thought RGS has all along been doing that. However, the students still recognise that these are the GEP classes. In the past, a mainstream student of at least about 272 will usually be placed in such a class.

In Sec 2, main stream students with GPA of about 3.86 or more, I think, will also join such classes. However, the GEP will remain in their class regardless of their GPA.

Regards.

Thanks Dharma and atutor2001. So the GEP classes are kept intact for Year 1 and 2? Thanks.
