turquoise:

According to the booklet, the top 10% of PSLE scorers are invited to apply for a foreign language (French, Japanese, German). I'm curious to know what's the cut off point for the top 10% this year.


Have any students with <250 or <240 received this offer?

Thanks.

Two of my son's friends, one with 252 is offered foreign language (French, Japanese & German) while the other one with 247 is not offered. So i guess the cut-off for top 10% is around 250?

Yes, have students below 250, so I guess the top 10% for this year starts from above 247?

Didn't read through everything in the booklet. My DS3 scored 251 and got to choose a third language option. We just take whatever was in the form and thought that it's open for students who scored above 250. :lol: :oops: He chose Japanese as I've learnt a little bit myself and think it'll be easy on him if we practise it together. I also suggest that he did it for fun and no pressure. However, he has to choose 1 from each category instead of which language he is more interested in. Have wanted to put French and German as the other choices but can't. I thought DS3 score is low and was a bit disappointed esp. when he was very relaxed during his PSLE and did very little despite my constant nagging. :x If it's in the top 10%, then I'm truly a proud mum. :celebrate:

For those choosing German, bear in mind lessons are conducted only in Bishan while Jap and French are either in Ghim Moh or Bishan.

My daughter got 246 and she got a third language option between (chinese/malay/arabic and bahasa).


So not sure what is the 10 % cut off…?
