It's percentile, not percentage that I was talking about. Eg. you could get 75%, which is an A, but the child is the top student bc the assessments were all very difficult, so his/her percentile would be 100th. I would be happy to see that as opposed to just the raw grade. It's like PSLE, yah?
So GPA 3.8 is about about 68% overall. What kind of percentage do you need to score for subjects to score A/A+?phankao:
Actually it is not bad. There is no per subject GPA but an overall GPA. An overall of 3.8 to 3.9 usually comes about when the student has gotten all
\"A\" and Maybe 1 or a few \"A+\". Average GPA is around 3.2 to 3.5 generally. So 3.8+ is above average lah. Only cannot consider as among top student. Not unusual to have some students who are top in individual subjects among this group too. More indicative to look at their percentile than just GPA I find.
Generally students with 3.8 to 3.9GPA would have grades all minimum A, so means they have between 70-85% for most of their grades. -

*Yawn* .... Wait for Another Day -lor!
[/quote]Certified true copy is not only compiling hard copy to submit. Need to send to your pri sch admin with original copy to stamp and sign. Sometimes, admin will tell you quite some task to do, and to collect another day.
Just a note: better to send in more copies to sign in case of future need, else you need to run again. # of copies should be at least = to number of schools you apply via DSA. -

haha - I prepared everything nicely for the school office to certify, and thot to leave that fat file there and collect the next day. But the lady preferred to do it there and then. Oh well. Anyway, actually we only needed 1 set of certified true copies. *hehe*.

discussion of Singapore's academic grading
For example, the GPA table for Raffles Girls' School and Raffles Institution (Secondary) is as below:
Grade\tPercentage\tGrade Point
A+\t80-100\t4.0
A\t70-79\t3.6
B+\t65-69\t3.2
B\t60-64\t2.8
C+\t55-59\t2.4
C\t50-54\t2.0
D\t45-49\t1.6
E\t40-44\t1.2
F\t<40\t0.8
The GPA table differs from school to school, with schools like Dunman high school excluding the grades \"C+\" and \"B+\"(meaning grades 50-59 is counted a C, vice-versa) However, in other secondary schools like Hwa Chong Institution , there is also a system called MSG (mean subject grade) which is similar to GPA that is used.
Grade\tPercentage\tGrade Point
A1\t75-100\t1
A2\t70-74\t2
B3\t65-69\t3
B4\t60-64\t4
C5\t55-59\t5
C6\t50-54\t6
D7\t45-49\t7
E8\t40-44\t8
F9\t<40\t9 -

For NJC, if compare with grades, it's quite similar.
For example, the GPA table for Raffles Girls' School and Raffles Institution (Secondary) is as below:
Grade\tPercentage\tGrade Point
A+\t80-100\t4.0
A\t70-79\t3.6
B+\t65-69\t3.2
B\t60-64\t2.8
C+\t55-59\t2.4
C\t50-54\t2.0
D\t45-49\t1.6
E\t40-44\t1.2
F\t<40\t0.8
Above 84.5% is A+
69.5% - 84.5% is A
64.5% - 69.5% is B+
59.5% - 64.5% is B
Anyway, I still prefer to look at the percentile. -
grades, yes, but beware when you hear quotes of "GPA’ numbers …
