another over generalisation

RI population : sec 1 to 4, 450 each = 1800; + J1 & J2 : 1200 each = 2400, total population = 4200. How many really have tuitions given their very packed time table ? based on 6 RI boys seen coming out from tuition centre ?

断章取义!

vk2010, my chinese isn't that good. What do the words in chinese mean?

out of context

as in, chop off a line from a book and make a thesis out of it[/quote]Thanks. Learnt something new.

What school is he in now? If he's in co-ed he must be very popular with the girls.

he is in RI, also in Euler program (and Galileo program too, I think)

What're Euler and Galileo programs?

What're Euler and Galileo programs?[/quote]Euler is the pull-out class for math, selected via test and interview, 3rd year running it, class size is 15 for 2011 sec 1. They don't join the rest of the cohort for math lessons except for end of year exam. SMO competition is treated as their assignment

Galileo is the pull out class for science.....just like math.

Following the maths Olympiad thread. There are 75 smops platinum holders. Ds also came in among top 30 in nus high nmos, for acsi maths Olympiad he also came into the highest category. The only maths olympiad which he didnt win the top category is ri world maths contest. Looks like he and ri are not to be. But it is ok, we like acsi and nus high too just that it is much farther in distance. Didn’t apply hci.

hey, it's only bc different schools have different criteria, so I've not thot about it. RI uses 4.0 max GPA, but other schools use 4.2, 4.3, 4.5, so when a parent just randomly gives a 3.8 GPA as very good, it may not make sense to all, KWIM?

I see. What's the max GPA in NJC? Always curious to learn something new.

4.3

4.3[/quote]Thanks phankao. What's the range of scores on it? For eg., is >80% 4.0, >70% 3.8 etc?

Hi RSS

Not to worry, base on your DS portfolio and SA1 score. I guess your DS has very high chance to get CO from RI.

All the best.i
