Essential:

The lowest score is 43. So is he or she consider \"it's the end\"!!!?

It's the end only if he/she gives up trying. There's still Northlight school for those who need a different curriculum.

hearsay that this year got 40% scoring between 240 to 249

so got 87.7% scoring from 240 or higher ! now which school comes close this this ?

I'm quite keen to know where the source of the hearsay comes from. The school didn't reveal the number of students scoring 240 and above. Unless it's a teacher from Nyps who says it, I'm not going to believe it. The school's average t-score is 239. If 87% scored 240 and above, the average should be higher than 239, I thought.

Rains, do you happen to have percentage of quality passes (A/A*) for NYPS 2012? Do you know 2011 average?[/quote]% that secure DSA offers 30+% (GEPpers only 20+%)

A+A* for :
math = 81+%
sci = 84+%
eng = 87+%
CL = 96+%
HCL distinction = 23%
HCL passes = 97%

the above is the average for recent years

No, I think the child wasn't ready...maybe re-doing psle could be better. It's not the end. He/she needs more time. After seeing how hard our kids studied and some didn't get expected results, we have to understand kids.

Snow Crystal:

One IP has affiliation - NYGH.
NYPS girls with 250 and above can enter its IP program via affiliation route.
Thus the S1 seats are always more limited.

Other IPs with affiliated pri school but no discount for affiliation into IP track include: ACSI, SJI, St Nics, SCGS, MGS, CHS etc.

why NYGH special treatment ?
why NYPS girls given special privilege to enter IP track, minimal 250 ?

why MOE don't make NYPS girls follow rules and order -
ie. No discount for any affliation into IP track.
ie. make NYPS girls follow the same set of rules and regulation as
ACSI, SJI, St Nics, SCGS, MGS, CHS IP.

It doesn't make sense to make any exception to any school.
Once you make exception to One school, parents will come after and query - why not another school ?
if want to standardize, should standardize fair and square - across the board, for ALL schools.

all IP requires min 250

nothing special for NYGH/NYPS

250 is the minimum for IP

What about HCI? Do the boys from NYPS also have affiliation to enter at 250?

No

Is it true that 50% of NYPS kids are in the top 10% of the PSLE cohort? If it is true, then not all schools are equally good. Wonder how many % of them go to normal stream?

is 47%, not 50%

zero goes to normal stream

Including the foundation kids? Wow..No wonder HSK has difficulties convincing parents that \"All schools are good schools.\"

If I was he or she I would not think that it is the end as long as I have tried my best And if I heard that it was my friend I would give him or her a big :snuggles: and will not ask for confirmation of result as a form of respect :imanangel:

Do you mean zero for 2012? I think it's not likely to be zero all these years because there are foundation students (even if the number is low).
