Ok another of apek's confusion for maid to answer:


For the batch of student doing 6 yr IP, if in 2009, they were in Year4. So now in 2010 should be in Year5, right ?

So now this batch in 2010:
a) they start Year 5 later waiting for their counterparts from O Levels joining them OR
b) they start first, then those coming from O Levels gotta catch up OR
c) both sets of students are taught differently ?

Thanks

Apek, sorry lah, cannot answer this question, but this is what I think, not sure if I am correct :

For JCs like RI and HCI who take in O level students apart from their own IP students, I believe lessons have not started for the Year 5 or JC1 as commonly known. This is my belief, but I could be wrong.

For schools like DHS and RV who DO NOT take in O level students, lessons have already started for their Year 5 students or JC1 as commonly known. I remember reading in the O level result thread that DHS and RV are not participating in the O level JC posting exercise, because they DO NOT take in students outside their own IP.

Must raise the pay of this maid liao, very clever maid, job well done ....

So, those schools that take in O Levels students like RI & HCI, their present JC1 (IP based students) students got extra holiday lah ?

So, those in DHS & RV got extra edge for starting earlier lah ?

Thank you ...

Ooi, Apek, don't anyhow say that this maid is very clever, okay, I am just guessing that RI and HCI have not started lessons for their Year 5, and I did say I COULD BE WRONG :oops: :oops: !

Haha, this maid here is not very young but my grandma had 9 children and my youngest uncle is only 2 years older than my brother, that's why I have cousins who are old enough to be my son! That cousin from RI is not my youngest cousin, he is the second youngest. My youngest cousin is only months older than my elder boy. Okay, we have gone OT here .....

O I C. I also noticed that everytime Apek & maid ask/answer questions, it will end up being OT

Ok, back to topic:

For the batch of student doing 6 yr IP, if in 2009, they were in Year4. So now in 2010 should be in Year5, right ?

So now this batch in 2010:
a) they start Year 5 later waiting for their counterparts from O Levels joining them OR
b) they start first, then those coming from O Levels gotta catch up OR
c) both sets of students are taught differently ?

Anyone knows ?

Thanks

Last OT post here, Yes, Apek and Maid have tendency to go OT in threads and Apek is free to OT in threads started by the maid, but definitely a No, No for threads started by others, so if you want to OT, go to those threads started by me.

Okay, back to topic about IP ......

so how come apek and maid always go OT ?

[autolycus]

The Year 5 students already in the IP normally help out in orientation and pre-orientation tasks. When the ‘new’ Year 5 students come in, they will go through a brief orientation programme.


Over the next year or so, they will catch up. Available data shows that as far as A-level results are concerned, those who entered at Y5 tend to be as good as or even better than those from earlier stages of the IP.

However, that’s probably because they’ve been through the pressure of competitive exams, so it’s a reflection of exam-skills mindset.

There’s actually no research so far that says IPs are better in any way.
