      Hi all, did your ds/dd choose the HCL? Discussed with my DS and he wanted to try HCL for next year. Don't know if it is a wise choice, since they will just do HCL exam paper all the way, then when comes to PSLE, CL paper will play an important part.


      Will it happen in the end the kid can do well in HCL paper, but not so good in CL paper? I asked the Chinese teacher during the Parent-Teacher Meeting, she told me this wouldn't happen, but I am still doubt.
      We opt for HCL. That's why we choose SAP school. šŸ˜‰

      Yes, you may do very well for HCL but so-so for CL, this was what happened to my DS1, but not because he is not good at it. He is very good in both CL & HCL in school but he chose the wrong Composition question on PSLE day. Although he still got A* for CL, Distinction for HCL, but we guessed it was his CL compo that caused him to have a lower range of A*, which, in a way, affected his T-Score. But nevertheless, we still insist both take up HCL in primary & secondary school. šŸ˜‰

        Woo, your DS2 must be also very good in Chinese. Did he attend the BEP program?

Too bad, I checked with his HCL teacher, once you miss it, you dun get a chance any more. 🤷 To his disappointment ! :sad:
