      During the GEP briefing at the school earlier this year, it was stated that 70% is the baseline for promotion criteria to next GEP year. Of course, they will still look at the aptitude & attitude of the pupil as well. \"All pupils are monitored for coping and performance.\"

      oh, is it ? I think I missed that part. So 70% to get promoted, that's tough....hopefully DS2 can get at least a passing mark ...

        Don't worry. I don't think they are aiming to fail the kids & stop them from being promoted. Surely they will work with the kid (& parents) to help him/her in the areas required to improve for future tests in order to pull up their averages. :xedfingers:

            The most important is still the year end final paper which contribute the most percentage to the overall score.

            My DS in Tag2 said highest score for Chinese in his class is 56/60. :scared:

              Has the science paper 2 been given out yet? I'm keeping my fingers crossed that DS will at least passed (as in 30/60) :xedfingers:

                Sci : Nearly fall off from my chair when DD told me she got overall score of 65. She sat for the test and got 42/60. Wondered if the performance task pulled her down. No wonder she told me to be mentally prepared…


                HCL : Still managed to score 80% abv and highest score in the sch is 89.5%.

                Eng : Still unknown

                Wonder if the 70% baseline applies to per subject or overall aggregate score? If per subject, I think time to go for extra tuition…stress !!!

                      Hi Pinball,


                      How did yr DS class perform overall for Eng? If the score is mediocre, this may imply that the Eng standard is tough for these kids . Is it on 40 marks?

                        EL seemed to have been a killer paper. DS1 didn't do well either. Just under baseline :gloomy: His class average wasn't too high & there were a couple of failures (as in less than 50%). Highest in his class was 33 (iirc). Score is over 40. SA2 will be a deciding factor for this subject for DS1.


                        Waiting to see how he did for Science. :xedfingers:
