[blessmum4]

They will be regroup each year but do not think it is based on their result.[/quote]


No leh...didn't appear to be by result in my boy's prev school leh. And no matter how they regroup, not much changes coz most school only 2~3 classes.[/quote]

Thanks

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.

DS2 got back his NMOS & UNSW Math today, it's Silver & HD, so happy ! Shall give him a treat :rahrah:
