Daughter got AL6(M), thinking of putting MGS IB as first choice and St Nicks IP as second choice. Do you all think it's OK?

MGS IB cop 5 then she can't make it. Cop 6 then she may end up ballot. Then the f don't get that 2nd choice risky if cop is 7 or 8 all those put first choice with 5/6 points in and full?

Hi my DD has AL14 and may I seek the following advice:
1) should I appeal to review math and science which she get AL5. For EL and MT it’s AL2. I thought science paper was easy so can’t fathom why she got AL5
2) any advice for girls school for AL14 - distance doesn’t matter but single sex school matters to her. How do I order my 6 choices pls for strategic reasons
3) What is AL14 equivalent to in the T-score? And AL2 is A while AL5 is C?

Really await your advice thanks.

I have read a couple of Qs pertaining to review/ appeal the results!

Of course there is an option to appeal! Coming from a spouse of a marker at the PSLE exams: “ Let’s just say that, the margin of error is almost zero! “ it has been marked and double/ tripled checked by various recorders…. Trust the process that it is very fair and just!

During appeal process, you don’t get to view the scripts. Just perhaps, get a report to say that there is a/no error in the administrative matters.

Extremely useful information. Thanks for sharing

My girl has AL6M, if we put RGS as 1st choice and Nanyang as 2nd, is this safe?

Noooo! Lots of AL4 n 5 this year. Will get in first. Better choose another school. As both these top tier schools will get filled with AL 4 n 5.

[quote=Pegasus08 post_id=2040910 time=1633427315 user_id=41264]My girl thinks that it is liquid expanding. The question provided a picture of a bun with the liquid flowing out via a hole near the top of the bun, so she believes that it is the liquid that expanded and flowed out of the bun. Her logic is that if it is the air that expanded, then the air would come out through the hole, rather than the liquid. Although the syllabus does teach that all matter can expand when heated, she is not aware that air expands more than liquid.

Sounds like the MCQ is tricky with a lot of close answers! Probably it is deceptively easy and not really easy.

In which case those who took it at face value and came out announcing very easy could be in trouble

What an interesting comment! What trouble would they have? Arrested by police? Reprimanded by police?

Are these the kind of troubles you deal with in your daily life with your kids personally? Police and principal reprimand? Oh dear! I was talking pure academics ....you clearly have bigger issues buddy. Good luck [/quote]

Air expand. Air expand more than liquid plus liquid evaporated when heated.

I think its a MCQ question.

When my child comes back and claims it's easy, I worry 😄

Ya I would worry too....easy no good. Many will get AL 1 how to discriminate ....you want a harder paper so you don't need to ballot for top schools

I don't quite believe that there's no moderation in each subject's marks, so the number of students achieving AL1 is probably not as many as some think.[/quote]No moderation. Moe already clarified this. Its based on your kids actual raw marks.

Whether can get into top school depends on your kids calibre. You have to assess yr kids capability and put them in suitable schools.

Not die die must go RI/ NYGH, HCI etc.

Couldn't agree more...unfortunately most parents think top 4 schools only or else may as well go to neighbourhood school....they don't believe in inbetweens

Ya. If those happened to get AL4/5 turns out to be more of a fluke, seriously still must consider kids overall ability....else may lose self-esteem in big 4.[/quote]Agree. Having had kids in the top 4...I can't emphasise enough....you better be sure your kid is that calibre or else the pressure and being surrounded by the cream can really kill your self esteem. These kids don't need the hardest concepts explained ....they literally pick up as its being taught the first time. No explanation required. They literally come home and recap. I've never given tution to either of my kids nor do they ask for help. Both have excelled. Not bragging just explaining the calibre that's required. The thing is that their syllabus is mostly year 5 year 6 jc level work. Good luck with it
