How did you enter RI ?


If you are a JAE student, taken O-level exam, suggest that u send an email to the Principal of that particular Junior College you are interested in, check if still got any more vacancy for Transfer.

If no vacancy, cannot proceed
If got vacancy, still got hope

They will inform you, whether or not, got vacancy


But, if you applied for DSA into RI at Sec 4 and had entered RI successfully through DSA route, sorry, Moe won’t allow you to change Junior College

Another thing is, how do rest of other classmates in your RI class feel ? Do they feel the same way, as you ? You do have a class whatsapp chat-group for students, or a class whatsapp chat-group for parents, don’t you? Perhaps, raise this inquiry up first, inside the chat-group.

If Yes, if majority of your JC1 classmates feel that it is important and they do want to have a GP exam mid-year, ask your class rep (either student or a parent volunteer assigned role) to bring this up to the attention of HOD (GP) department in charge, and also cc Principal of RI attention, keep him in the loop, inside your email, so that P is aware

If after raised this issue , and RI decide to change, administer GP mid year exam, then solve your headache : no need to seek to transfer to another JC, anymore


Also, find out (check)
Is it only RI did not conduct any GP (General Paper) mid-year test for entire level JC1 , or other Junior Colleges also do the same likewise ?

Find out, which are the Junior Colleges that do give GP exam mid-year, in JC1 ? If majority of other JCs do give GP exam, then RI indeed is the odd one out

is it still recommended to take SAT on top of A-level?

Only if you want to apply to overseas universities or Yale-NUS.

For overseas universities, only US universities require SAT (most but not all though).

Hello rafflesian123, sometimes things happen. My children in IP schools encounter issues with stand-in teachers for more than a term, etcetera, as well. What is in our best interest is to speak to our school - the other teachers in the department, head of department; ask them for their opinions on how you can salvage the situation, discuss what you can self-study & what guidance/support they can provide you, build a positive relationship & work something out. Maximising current resources seems more time-saving than transferring out?...

Raflesian123, the GP teachers are building your knowledge first before they teach you how to write an essay. I believe they have given you a few thick stacks on some topics? Have you read those? GP is also about knowledge. Even if you know how to write an essay but don’t have good knowledge, you won’t get high mark. So, it is important that you build your knowledge by reading widely e.g. newspapers, magazines, online news, school handouts, etc.


Also, there are model essays you can read on KS Bull. They are in the student portal. According to my son, the standard is very high. Go and read those. But don’t panic if you can’t write like that as those are extreme examples (very good ones).

Tbvvh, my older 2 children don’t like KS Bull. They read 1 or 2 essays. But they cldnt understand them lol. They also don’t read their school notes nor even their school’s GP essay publication cuz they said they were too boring.
The only thing they read everyday without fail is the newspapers.
