Eh CL.........not promising??? :yikes: what's promising then?izzit lyk 95+????

My DS applied under Maths Domain last year with almost full marks in P4, 5 & 6... U hv to supplement with national level competitions like SMOPS or RIWPS to outstand your DC among the applicants so as to be short listed... It's also depend on the schools since the level of difficulty differ... :imsorry:

how bout mine?

my normal chinese
p4 : 92
p5 :88
p6 :88(1st half of year)
sigh...not promising right?

for DSA under acad domain and in CL, it has to be consistent high scores at HCL level

know of one kid, HCL always above 90 throughout P4/5/6, DSA at RI under CL domain, still did not make it, even though eventually his PSLE t-score was 27X. of course not in RI now

actually he is no lover of CL, just that he 'geng' to DSA under CL, hopefully it was easier as it was less popular ..... but still, as has been mentioned again and again, that school's DSA is not a matter of supply and demand -- they pitch at specific and at very high standard, regardless of subject domain. don't meet the standard won't get it, even if it means zero CO under that domain

See so many interested in only RI/HCI familes. Just have one advice, if your kids still unable to clear 265 in their mid-term exam despite trying all out and hve been attending numerous tuitions, suggest you look elsewhere.


Its not pleasant to be at the bottom 20% of RI/HCI! One can achieve their aspirations in other IP schools.

Does this apply to GE student? If not, then what's the gauge for them? I'm also worry that my DS can't cope in such schools?

Doesn't matter which stream he's from. Must place him in a school that you think he's likely to do well. Doing well means academically high average and above in his chosen IP school, representing his school in his chosen ccas/academics and holding an exco seat.

The above are just some of the attributes unis are looking for. Never go for the brand name alone, its a mistake many parents make each year.
