DSA 2012

[jtoh]

fanren:

Hi, my son is in GEP P5, din do really well in P4 (overall is 79%) and P5 this year CA1 is 80.x%. Does he have chance to at least DSA to RI and DHS? his teacher mentioned DSA look from P4 to P6 and seemingly trying to tell me with my son result is difficult to get a seat through DSA, quite depressing, i din ask him is he referring to RI...anyway RI is not a compulsory for us lah.

His results aren't bad at all. 79% is just short of 80%. He has time to pull up his P5 year end results and P6 mid-year results. As someone mentioned, your son should be able to get into DHS. No need to get depressed.

[quote=\"2cor41618\"]Someone mentioned that there are about 180 Geppers in RI for each cohort, (sorry forgot who said this and too lazy to go back to check :salute: ), how about the 300 odd others? Does anyone know the percentage of the various schools (HCI, NYGH, RGS, ACSI,etc.) these students go to? TIA

RI - normally 15 classes made up of 30x15=450; of which 7 classes contain about 180 GEPpers plus 30 mainstreamers; the other 8 classes are mainstreamers

HCI - iSpark has about 80 - 90 GEPpers, plus some mainstreamers

RGS - not sure how many classes

NYGH - some one recently posted they have 1 class only ?


some are found in other IP schools


Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal

For P5 overall result and P6 mid-year result (in %), do we fill in the acutal mark or % among the whole level? Thanks

You have to fill your child’s marks for each subject ( weighted avg of CAs and SAs)

Hi GoodDad, thanks for the info

Would anyone know the difference between IP and IB?

[verykiasu2010]

IP = integrated program, yr 1 to yr 6 through train skip O level go straight to A level, assuming no hiccup and promoted every year


IB = International Baccalaureate (IB), is an alternative to A level; based on forumers who post here and in the ACS(I) thread, students in ACS (I) can switch between O level track and IP track leading to IB which is only in yr 5 and yr 6

ACS(I) is the only mainstream school offering IB, others offering IB are the international schools like SJI Int’l and HCI Int’l

[jtoh]

Just to clarify:


IP = Integrated Programme, which is a through train programme leading to either A levels or International Baccalaureate (IB) diploma. No need to take O levels.

IB takes place in Year 5&6 for schools offering it. Years 3 & 4 are known as Pre-IB Years.

Currently, local schools offering IB are ACSI and SOTA. SJI will be offering IB too. IB is also offered at the local-international schools such as ACS International and SJI International.

Does p6 mid yr result refer to ca2+sa1 or just sa1 alone? does end of yr result refer to ca2 only or overall combine at end of yr which include first half ? This is for dsa. Application.
