Hwa Chong Institution (High School)

[Chirunner]

Thanks xhxie! Any idea how students are selected? What grades must they attain? And how are students graded? I know that in RI 80% and above is 4.0, in ACSI 80% and above is 7 points n with 6 subjects and 3 bonus points a student can score a max of 45 points in ACSI. Can anyone tell me more about HCI’s scoring system? Also, I heard that those who do well consistently during the year are exempted from year end exams. What are the minimum requirements? TIA

Anyone heard of any students trying to DSA out of HCI to RI, ACI or NUSH at end of sec 2 or vice versa? Is this act common among the top IP schools?

HCI scoring system is different from RI. HCI scoring follows O-Level.

75% and above - A1
70% - 74% - A2
65% - 69% - B3
60% - 64% - B4
55% - 59% - C5
50% - 54% - C6
<50% Fail

For Sec 1 students, promotion criteria is C6. means average score C6 and above will be promoted to Sec 2.
For Sec 2,3 students, promotion criteria is B4.
For Sec 4 students, promotion criteria is B3. Students with average score B3 and above can be promoted to JC

To eligible for CSE, Sec2 overall result average score should be < 1.5

No, rather, we have students DSAing out of RI into HCI.

hi xhxiew, thanks for sharing. any idea if they have a quota for CSE each year or the students are automatically posted to CSE so long as they obtain 1.5 or less?

Around how many cases of more than 3 at sec 4 each year and not promoted to HCJC ? Where do normally go then?

CSE does have quota: total 120 students. 30 for HP, 30 for BSP, 60 for SMTP so some students were not posted to CSE although their score <1.5. HCI has selection process in Nov and Dec.

Not sure how many not been promoted to HCJC. you may ask this during Sec 1 parents symposium which will be held in Jan 2010.

cheers!
