DadofGirl, your dd scored ABC/C for her recent CT exams? Isn't that very good?
No ... her best score is in GP(B) & Rest C or below. Managed to pass all with one subject E.
Looks like Promo no problem & thereafter some improvement with ultimate score of ABC/C.
That won't get her in good uni here
I think its too early to worry abt A level results n her chances of entering good U.
Its just the start of JC1 n they havent got the hang of the standards.
I believe by the time they reach A level exams next year, they will be more prepared.
All our girls here are in the same boat!!!! -
DadOfGirl:
DadofGirl, this projected A level results is by your own estimate or the school's? I believe all JCs try to give killer papers to the students in CTs and Promos to wake them up to the prospect of the A levels, which is mere months away.jtoh:

MY DD dun want to do Accountancy/Bus admin , though she has H2 maths... does it mean, we have to plan for Aussie uni education
http://www.nus.edu.sg/oam/gradeprofile/ ... e-igp.html
In 2012-2013, the 10th percentile was BBB/B for NUS-FASS. I have archived the 2012-2013 cut off point on my website: http://mathtuition88.com/2013/11/13/a-l ... enter-nus/
Hope it helps. -
I'm wondering is \"failing\" the \"way of life\" in JC? :?
So common to hear \"if can pass very good already\" in JC. Why the large disparity in JC? Is it like that across different JCs?
In secondary school, very often it is not whether can pass or fail, but it seems to be a different story in JC.
Put it this way, you just have to perform better than your peers since grades will be bell curved so the actual grade doesnt matter. This concept holds for university as well -

It is all about amount of amount of hardwork/practice put in...... everyone up their game by the time A level exam nears... So the ones who 'Just be their own self' are left behind..

There should be better way of grading -

DadOfGirl:
Exams have always been this way. There are problems with other ways of grading too. How I look at it is that those who are good at exams will obviously have an edge for exams. Some people only come into their own much later. Some people should just accept that they are not the type to shine anyway, exams or otherwise (I am one, and my older girl is the same). I don't think there is an ideal way to assess ability, so we just do our best given the circumstances.It is all about amount of amount of hardwork/practice put in...... everyone up their game by the time A level exam nears...
