PSLE score: higher chinese and normal chinese ?

My girl had A for Chinese, Merit for HMT but the letter did not state she is eligible for HMT in sec sch. Instead 3rd lang option of Malay & bahasa Indo is given. I asked MOE why. She said can apply in sec sch during registration, this is not classified under appeal.


I asked 3rd choice sch and the Malay teacher said must go through a compo test (after asking if my girl got A* for Chinese and what grade she got for Eng, btw she got A for Eng). Don't know whether to trust her or not.

You are eligible for HMT if:
a) you are ranked top 10% of cohort; or
b) ranked top 11-30% AND have scored either A* in MTL or at least Merit in HMTL.

Perhaps your dd is not within top 30% of cohort.

But I meet the merit in HMT.


Learning HCL is easier than 3rd lang in Malay or bahasa arab or indo.

I just called MOE. She took down my details & ask officer to look into it.

I re-read your post again with the word "AND".

Your guess of outside 30% is true, MOE called & cfm the word "AND".

The criteria is you must be in top 11-30% FIRST, then have scored A* in MTL or at least a Merit in HMTL before you're offered HMTL. So likelihood your dd's not in top 30%. If you're not in top 30%, they won't even consider your Merit in HCL.

What's her aggregate?

HMT isn't compulsory in most secondary schools, except for the SAP schools.

Even in SAP schools, it's not compulsory to take HCL. At least not ALL SAP schools.
