actually he is no lover of CL, just that he 'geng' to DSA under CL, hopefully it was easier as it was less popular ..... but still, as has been mentioned again and again, that school's DSA is not a matter of supply and demand -- they pitch at specific and at very high standard, regardless of subject domain. don't meet the standard won't get it, even if it means zero CO under that domain

See so many interested in only RI/HCI familes. Just have one advice, if your kids still unable to clear 265 in their mid-term exam despite trying all out and hve been attending numerous tuitions, suggest you look elsewhere.
Its not pleasant to be at the bottom 20% of RI/HCI! One can achieve their aspirations in other IP schools. -

Does this apply to GE student? If not, then what's the gauge for them? I'm also worry that my DS can't cope in such schools? -

Doesn't matter which stream he's from. Must place him in a school that you think he's likely to do well. Doing well means academically high average and above in his chosen IP school, representing his school in his chosen ccas/academics and holding an exco seat.Edureach:

The above are just some of the attributes unis are looking for. Never go for the brand name alone, its a mistake many parents make each year. -
When come to sec school, the teens need to be self-motivated to do well. The motivation comes from the environment he/she is in. The competitiveness of the environment push them to be self-motivated, does it? Yes, true that have seen some who appeal to enter the top school unable to cope, but also there are those who do well in PSLE went slag and become under performed. Typically, in IP schools, the kids need to be independent learners also to do well.

I think one thing to consider is whether or not your child is an independent learner. In IP schools, there is no more spoon-feeding of notes and information. You will find that sometimes you have zero notes so you have to go and look for your own. There are also very few exam preparation stuff(not like the 10 papers you get a day in pri school!)so it's really up to you and your attitude, whether you bother studying or not. And all about initiative. Would you go ask your seniors/find old papers to do, or just do nothing?
Some people cannot cope with this kind of system and will find themselves very lost. Nothing wrong with that, they just need more guidance and they can still make it. They might feel very helpless at first though, when they are trying to adjust to the new system.
