Has MGS started their IP. Current Sec 1 is still on 'o'level track right?
How come? Well, in 2015, the first MGS IP Year 4 girls will go straight into ACS(I) Year 5... heh heh. -

I think this is how it works, unless accelerated by one year across the board:
Sec 1 MGS IP of 2013 will enter ACS(I) IBDP in 2017 and graduate from ACS(I) in 2018. Sec 3 MGS IP of 2014 will enter ACS(I) IBDP in 2016 and graduate from ACS(I) in 2017.
A similar staggered design was used when the ACS(I) programme was set up. Our first batch was Year 3 ACS(I) IP of 2004, which became ACS(I)'s first IBDP batch in 2007. Our second batch was Year 1 ACS(I) IP of 2003, which became ACS(I)'s second IBDP batch, graduating in 2008. -

If there are already 330 IP boys coming from ACSI in Year 5, and say 100 from MGS when their IP kicks off, that doesn't leave very much space for JAE intake. Unless ACSI increases its IB resources to cater to a much enlarged intake.
I doubt they'll be able to cater to a much larger intake. The DPs keep saying that ACSI is already the largest IB school and they really have limited resources. The number of students continues to increase every year though, so maybe they're slowly preparing for a larger intake? -

The math works out something like this: the initial class size was about 20+, which increased to about 23-24. In theory, those classrooms can accommodate 30 students I think; I remember squeezing 32 once, but I wouldn't recommend it. If you expand class size but not classes, you can have more...jtoh:

I know of someone who transfered from RGS to ACSI year 5 for IB.
This one is thru DSA right since obviously the person has no O level results. -
Yes, I had a few of those even in the first batch. There was even one RI boy!

Heh, ask your DS, that's what he's supposed to know. Besides, it's way too early for ACS(I) students to be preparing for the MY exams already.

What is the different between American Mathematics Contest 10 (AMC10) and AMC10A? As NUSH has held AMC10A on 7feb 2012 but ACS(I) will be held AMC10 on 22feb2012. :?
Thanks -
They’re just held on different dates. There shouldn’t be much difference in terms of difficulty level, but if there are any differences, the cut off for AIME will also be adjusted accordingly, like cut off for AMC10A may be 120, but if AMC10B turned out to be slightly more difficult, it could be 119.
