Understand that Social Studies is also \"undergoing\" major changes in the marking script . Any one got the result yet ?

Huh ? Do you mean the marking criteria or the exam syllabus ? :faint: Is it going to be more stringent ? No, haven't had any news on the results yet but DS2 told me this time round SS is so tough, some of the questions he just anyhow do .... :faint:

Marking criteria .. to give out more marks .
Overall must be failing below expectations so the trs hv to adjust upwards .. hopefully our DCs all get extra marks ...

I bet it's so tough (DS2 said for some questions, he didn't even know what the question was asking :yikes: ) that teachers got no choice but to moderate the scores ! :evil: Otherwise it will look aweful in the report card ! So good luck to all our DC, hope can get more marks !

Does anyone know what is the grading criteria in GEP ?


Is it :

Distinction >= 80%
Merit = 65% - 79%
Pass = 50% - 64%
Ungraded < 50%

Thanks !

Not really, except for Chinese Essay Writing. DS2 teachers said no need tuition bcos school will give remedial for weaker ones.
