Hi Parents,


Need some advice on the Sec 1 promotion criteria, if a student did not meet the MSG <= 4.0, what will happen to him? Repeat Sec 1 or go to O-level class.

Hope you can share your experience or knowledge on the promotion criteria. TIA

O level class is decided at the end of Sec 2 only. I don't have answer to your question but I would think it is really unfair if one repeat Sec 1 just because he did not make HCI promotion criteria. If the child had chosen to go to a O level school, he would only need to pass to be promoted and not get an average B4 grade as required by HCI.

DS said d boy will still go to sec2 . It will be an advance n not promotion to sec 2. DS ex sec1 classmate got more then MSG 6, parents n d boy was called in to sch for counseling then was advance to sec 2 but d boy was watched v closely by d sch . ER is correct , to go Q class is only after sec2 results r out. One thing I personally like abt HCI is they will give our boys chances they will not judge d boy after one result. They base on merit :hugs: If d boy do well in sec 2 he will be given equal opportunity like any of d boys.

What about the results for the 3rd lang tests? Any idea whether they will be incorporated in the reports?

I don't see them in my DS's portal.

Thanks.

The 3rd lang test results will be reflected on the progress report but I'm not sure if it'll be in this 'mark checking' report since this is the 1st time they implement this. Previously, parents & students only get to view the final progress report. This 'mark checking' report is a good move:)

So you mean we will be receiving a physical progress report for this Term 1? Btw, the marks for this Term 1 will carry weightage for the year end report? If so, is the weigtage 30% and this 30% also include all other Terms' tests? Also, will they calculate the MSG at this juncture?

Many thanks!

[/quote]All the terms progress report will be posted on the i-comp under results. For T2, a hard copy will be provided by the school & parents will collect them when they go to the school for the parents teacher meeting in end-May. T1-T3 results will carry a weightage of 30% and the EOY exams 70%. If you get an overall A1 for any subject from T1-T3, you'll be exempted from the EOY exam for that subject and will get a direct A1. According to my DS teacher, it has to be A1 for every term. So many students aim for that so that they hv lesser subjects to prepare for the EOY exams. As for MSG, it will be reflected on the progress report of every term.

Does anyone know if there are more than 1 test plus assignment for the subject how do they get aggregated ? Eg I noticed that for language arts there are 2 assignments and a test which adds up to >100%. Thanks.

Hi Jeannie12,

Usually for LA & HCL, different assignments & the tests hv different % weightage. U can c from the mark checking report under the weightage column. For other subjects like maths which usually hv 2 tests, then they will take the total of the 2 tests converted to 100%
