Yup, DS2 also received his UNSW English results & cert last week, now left with only UNSW Math. Also waiting for his NMOS results ....

NMOS & RIPMWC good results carry more weight for DSA compare to ICAS HD. My son can't even make it to 2nd round on both competition. Hope ur DS2 can obtain good result in his 2nd round NMOS and do the school proud.
Do keep us posted.

Same here.

DS told me for yesterday's book review, quite a few kids didn't prepare any notes, so teacher had to give them extra time to go to computer lab to do some online research.

Wah, few days never drop by here so many discussion liow.

My son got back Computer & Eng ICAS results last week.
He's lucky to get HD for both papers and especially so for Eng paper as his score is pretty low 41/50. This year unlike last year(diff school), each paper come with diff TAP-ID & password. Very troublesome.
For GEP students, the most important is still must score >80 for all subjects in P5 & P6. Unless you win Gold medals, HD for ICAS carry little weight in DSA(Info fr DSA discussion thread). But of course better than nothing.

That's very good results ! :rahrah: Mine didn't get HD for EL (his EL :imdrowning:) Didn't manage to take Computer, sick on that day & missed the paper.

Thank you ! Actually DS2 is quite inconsistent in his results, in fact, I was quite surprised that he is able to get into the NMOS 2nd Round bcos he had done very badly for RIPMWC ... If he is to follow DS1's footsteps, he has to get 'decent' results for NMOS ...

Dagong :

Great to hear it ! At least, yr DS2’s effort pays off with his time punching hard on Ipad

Huh? that's long. Yr DD did that much earlier than my DS, but DS got his result back last week. Actually I din know that he had done it, just dat he returned fr school one day , and had written some story abt ants. So it was not so much of a project, but more like a composition write up, right ?

Talking abt compositions.... so far what is the highest score that yr DD/DS can score out of 40 marks ? So far, despite positive comments fr tr, DS can only get 32 or 33, so am wondering is this the farthest one can stretch ? Anyone can share ? Composition does contribute to the exam result too !

Well done, Dagong's DS !
Wow, the tr marked very fast... My DS did dat last term but no news abt his result leh.

For Social Studies that he did on reflection, never see that returned work, just the score. He got deducted 1 mark for handing up his work late by 1 day ! He had done it but just forgot to submit...

DS’s sch highest score in composition - 35
