      I always have this worry that if a student performs badly at A level in a IP programme, there is nothing to fall back on. Not even an O level. And if a students went thru DSA may not even have a good PSLE score to fall back on.


      At least for IB 30% is based on daily work and NUSH is the modular system.

      So in situation that an unfortunate event just before A level exam affects a student’s result tremendously, what can the student do next ?

          Ds went for ri gat today. Over 200 boys were there, geppers as well as boys in the sports and academic domain. Essentially gat date is determined by application dates.

                  One of the question someone posted earlier was what is the chemical formula for common salt. I suspect it will be a portion of everything.

                    Supposedly math and science components.
                    Math questions mainly math olympiad type of questions.
                    Science is about lower secondary school standard.

                      In HCI, also the future IP schools, those who really can't cope with the programme will be able to take 'O' level within the same school. So no worry.

                        How did he find the test? My friend's went and said couldn't finish the test. But then many of those who went also couldn't finish?
