PSLE 2012 - Results Discussion

[Peony]

Just to add about the spotlight on NYPS.


Personally, I take the exceptionally excellent results this year to be from the \"hunger\" factor. No one made the top list last year and hence the school really wanted to prove its might.

Motivation is a very important factor in achieving success.

That's an interesting way to look at it but I've never felt this way about the school - wants to prove their might or top the list. How i feel about the school is that it wants to leverage on the children's abilities and maximize their potential rather. It wants to help open as many windows as possible for the children.

How to know if my DD is eligiable to take Higher Chinese in Secondary 1 ? Is there anyone who received letter from MOE confirming such eligibility ?

If I'm not wrong as long as your T score >245 you are eligible. But not 100% sure.

Its stated in the letter that comes with the result.

1. Top 10% T-score in psle, or

2. A* in CL or at least merit in HMT

[Yanchong]

I have checked and none of the student got such letter. DD is the top 10% with A* in Chinese and Merit in Higher Chinese. I am puzzled ?

It is stated in the option form whether yr kid is eligible of HMT .

I don't think you receive any specific letter. When I took my PSLE in the past I think when you're selecting whether you want HCL or not is when you submit your school choices also. But it's a few years ago so can't really remember.

PSLE is not the end okay. There are people in my school who entered into the top class in Sec 1 with a score of 260+ yet at sec 3 (and subsequently sec 4) they are in the bottom 2 classes. And there are also those who got 210-220 in my school scoring 6 for L1R5 at prelims. Sure, they are not the norm but the exceptions but it’s all determined by your own effort really.
