Mmh.....wat does the term \"supplementary\" n \"remedial\" means??
Supplementary classes meant to help the avg student be better?
Are these lessons helpful?
Oh...GESS entry point to pretty on the low end.... Oh dear, limited choices for sec schools.... -
hi Shandee,
sup suppose to be extra lesson whiile remedial is to help the weaker students.
are they helpful? i don’t know…think they use the periods to cover the syllabus and not extra drilling…i think…
yes, very limited indeed. if wanna get into good schools, will have to travel. there’s a crescent girl there but it’s a girls school so too bad for my son… -

Score of 245 is very high. Easily can go to the following.
Friend's kid, P6 last year..... She told me tat to hv greater sec sch options (we r talking abt avg n not the better sec sch) need to hv at least a score of 245 & above!!
St Nicholas Girls' School
Cedar Girls
Catholic High
Victoria
ACS
Anderson Sec
Score > 250 will land you at
Nanyang Girls' High School
RGS
RI
Dunman High
HCI
RVHS
MGS
SCGS
Got to be realistic and don't stress the kid too much for such a high expectation. If the kid can perform then be it
Think there are also other \"better\" sec sch with score below 245 -

Thanks for the info! May I know where did you come across such info..... website? Guess, my friend has quite a high standard then.......[/quote]every yr around Sep, all P6 kids will be given a sec school selection guide book from MOE, there will be full descriptions of all the sec schools (eg location, strengths etc). The minimum cut off points for the previous batch of PSLE students admitted the school will be listed to help in selection of sec schools. If you are keen to see what are the scores like for schools on an informal basis, look at the threads in PSLE and Sec school selection, some parents share the cut off pts of the schools their kids get admitted to. Hope this helps

If I may correct some of the above Sch's COP:
1)St Nicholas Girls' Sch shd be 249. Likely to go up as going IP next yr.
2)Cedar shd be 249. Went IP this yr so COP is raised.
3)Catholic High is 247. Likely to go up,going IP next yr.
4)Victoria is 246.
5)SCGS is 248. Likely to go up,going IP next yr.
6)MGS is 250.
Hope you parents don't mind me sharing the above data.
Thanks. -

Sorry... maybe I should be more specific. Score of more than 245 is very high. Those schools have COP of 245 - 249.
