:!: OMG Seem that Y5 & Y6 is going to be a tough ride...
Furthermore I think this year RV Y6 is the first batch doing the A Levels through IP program...the whole school is putting a lot of effort to ensure this first batch of Y6 attains good grades

Yes, its tough! I heard from dd about the principal's \"challenging\" speech for the year 6 students and the \"back challenge\" speech from one of the year 6 representatives, up on the stage.

oh yeah, that's right. It is so competitive nowadays... they'll need CCA, CIP and lots of other additional profile in addition to their straight As before they can get into those popular courses they want in uni. Not easy at all. :rant:

heard fm my dd there's a NUS science research prog in yr 5 n to be eligible, GPA for yr 4 mus min 3.6. she say very helpful in portfolio . she submit her science activities from yr 1to 4 n went for aptitude test but say is difficult.

Good Afternoon Stressy,

Does the school allow the Y5 to sit for one H1 paper -A Level exam?
Meaning Y5 sit for one H1 paper ...so Y6 can lessen their burden???
