exemption list/letter is out

Do we get to see the list? Where is it?

Hi Otah, sec 1 boys were given the exemption letter by their teachers on last lesson today. DS brought e letter back home, but I am not too sure about e rest of e levels...

exemption list/letter is out

No worries, yamatomato. It's my pleasure to help. If e student scored A1 in the 3rd lang, then it'll be included in the MSG calculation, otherwise, it'll not be inclusive in the MSG. So at least it's not so stressful for the boys. But prior to the 3rd lang EOY exam, e boys hv to opt whether to include the 3rd lang results in the overall msg.


Exemption is only for the EOY exams, if there are some test in T4, the student still hv to take. 2 yrs ago, there's no test in T4 but last yr there were some changes & some subjects like chinese do hv T4 test. In this case, they will take the 30% from T1-T4.

Oh i miss out sthg on the exemption, besides the results, the oral participation for the subject must oso be A1. So if u hit A1 both written & oral then u'r exempted, no case by case basis.

Yes, there r boys with perfect msg n was exempted for the EOY exam especially in sec 1 which is much easier to achieve.

CF is chinese, not sure wat it stand for exactly.[/quote]
Wow then thats a bit tough...for written to score A1 not very difficult, but to score A1 in oral.... :slapshead: CF stands for Chinese as First language

:thankyou: pinky88! That means so as long e boys hit 75 (A1) for all term 1-3 on that particular subject, he will be exempted from that subject year end (EOY) right? Don't have to be high end A1 right? Then how about infocomm? Understand infocomm no EOY... TIA

Hi Chandelier, yes...so long as u hit 75 thru the 3 terms, ur overall grade for that subject will b A1. The school will give students a letter ar sept indicating which subjects they r exempted fm. FYI, the yr end final progress report only reflects the grades, no indication of marks.

For infocomm, there's no EOY exams. The 70% comes from project that the teacher allocate. Usually the teacher will let the boys noe their overall marks prior to the release of the yr end results.

:thankyou: pinky88 for sharing! :hugs:

Does anyone know if there are more than 1 test plus assignment for the subject how do they get aggregated ? Eg I noticed that for language arts there are 2 assignments and a test which adds up to >100%. Thanks.

Yeah jeannie12 u r right. For ELL, e 2 assignments weightage is 30% each n e actual test is 70%. DS told me for CF, some class assignments also included in e total MSG.
