@zac-s-mum said in Secondary 2 Streaming: Vevey\" post_id=\"2134167\" time=\"1716433434\" user_id=\"1350:Based on personal & friends' sharing over the decade, it is quite common for schools to look at overall results in sec 2. Some schools excluded music & PE (letter grade instead of marks in lower sec) as they do not offer them as an Olevels subjects.Most will set minimum criteria to take up certain subjects so my guess is that this particular school is trying to assign a ranking score by giving double weightage to maths & sci instead of a 2-step evaluation for each affected subject.Perhaps you would like to check w the school or senior parents in that school whether it is something new (then more room for negotiation) or has it been this way all along?Usually I would suggest to find out more about sec 3 subject combination during sec sch open houses. We were disappointed previously when the school was unable to open a class for my child's favorite (& somewhat critical to his post sec ed in terms of portfolio) subject due to lack of interested students in his stream that year & had to compromise ourselves to fit into the school's \"combo menu\", taking an \"irrelevant\" subject.At least we had tried our best to do our due diligence. Our school has just changed a new principal this year, so i dunno if this 12-subject calculation is new. In any case, this system seems to benefit my child because he is quite an all-rounder in the 12 subjects (none too terrible), and also he doesn’t meet what other schools set eg min A2 to take A maths and pure sciences. Schools will always have a caveat that the combi allocated will be dependent on merit first, and then whether there is sufficient demand/resources. Perhaps my child’s preferred combi (also not a popular one) will eventually not be granted, so…we’ll see… Happy to report that my child got his preferred combi of 8 subjects (2L, 2M, 2S, and 2 humanities). Indeed the 12-subject calculation benefitted him (I asked him to give his best in all of them, not neglecting any, and he did). And also he had tuition for math & science (all along his weakest). I hate that the sg system is so heavily weighted on STEM, but looking back i have no regrets that i paid for the math & science tuition. Even if all we wanted was the ability to choose his preferred 2 humanities

@SPC said in Nanyang Primary: Hi guys, does anyone know the chances of transferring an external student into NYPS via GEP? Any past statistics available? Thanks. reply a bit late. out of 50 (2 classes) a lot are transferred in via GEP … in 2024 there are also non-GEP transfer into P4 and P5

@Newgep213 said in Year end award Nyps: Re: Nanyang Primary Hi does anyone know what is the requirement for getting the Ho chin Geok award ? I think school sort according to overall results (AL), and pick top 10 in P5 and top 10 in P6 who had national awards (NSG league 1 medals , NSI, etc).

For all my Kiasu parents out there with kids in secondary school, I chanced upon a new tuition centre offering very affordable classes at only $30 for a 2 hour lesson - it’s called Educare Tutoring. Might be a better option for those who are more cost conscious, hope it’s helpful.

Home-Based Secondary AMath, EMath, Chemistry, Physics, Science and H1 Math Tuition by Experienced Full Time Tutor since 2008 2024 EOY, 2023 O Level Results, EOY Results and Testimonials on https://msywtutor.wordpress.com/ Ms Tan had experience teaching dyslexic students and they go on to achieve distinctions in school and national examinations, provides timely evaluation of students’ progress, customized practices and tests. “Highly committed teacher Effective teaching methods and principles Friendly yet firm towards student. Makes effort to complete make up lessons Frequent mini-tests keep student on toes” “Ms Tan’s lessons were really interesting and she made it so that I understood what she was teaching about. My grades on Mathematics no only met my expectations but also surpassed them by a great margin. My understanding of the concept also improved by leaps and bounds such that now I’m able to do complex questions within the recommended time limit and hence have extra time to check if I made a careless mistake. The lessons although were being conducted via zoom, were being held to the same quality offline such that I was able to better understand the topics that I was initially unclear on. All in all, I greatly recommend Ms Tan if you want to improve in your mathematics.” – 2020 “Thank you for teaching me Chemistry for the past half a year. You teach in a way that is simple and easy to understand. You made difficult concepts seem easy. Somehow you knew that I know how to answer the question but I do not know how to phrase my answers and as a result, you drilled me a lot on this which therefore led to me finally passing Chem this year. So I feel grateful and thankful towards you for being so accurate in finding out my weakness, correcting it and making me like studying Chem again. Without you, I don’t think I would be able to find the O level paper easy. May you continue to impact students and make them love Chem!” ’ Miss Tan has tutored me in Combined Science (Chemistry) and E Maths for my O Level Exams. She has an excellent teaching style that is easy to pick up on and for me to adapt to. I have had no problems understanding her teaching. She shows how to properly do a task or work through problems and from there, she helps me master the task or solution problem. I have since been able to independently solve fairly challenging questions for both Chemistry and E Maths. This is thanks to using her demonstrated methods. With her calm and friendly demeanour, I am unafraid to ask for help when I do not understand something. One of her best teaching methods is that she can easily summarise a complicated chapter into a flowchart or table, making it easier for me to retain in my memory and to recall during the examinations. I also appreciated her patience with me when she was tutoring me in E Maths. It gave me more confidence in trying out the questions as she did not “crowd” me for a correct answer. So thank you Miss Tan :)’ Home-based or online, 1-1/ group sessions Crash course programme is available too More info on my website (link below!) Thank you for viewing!

Hi,I would like some clarification for my daughter PSLE. If her PSLE for English,Science and Motger tounge she took as standard and her Math as foundation and her overall AL is for example qualify for group 2,than when she is posted to secondary will her math be as group 1 or 2? Thank You…a bit nervous for the psle result this coming wednesday.

@yunyun11 Hi! Hope my reply isn’t too late. I have taught students from both schools and their school teachers are caring and supportive. Crescent girls provide a lot of resources for their exam preparation too! Check if your child suits a more Chinese cultural background nan hua high or a more diverse background like crescent girls ?

@Teacherfelina I am on Google Map too! Tks for your support !

When you receive 2024 year end Report card, you would have noticed that for JC (1) batch, your Rank points is upon 70. No more upon 90 Rank points, for the Pioneering batch of JC (1) students, taking A level next year (2025).
