Hi, she scored 3 A* in SA and 4 A* in PSLE. If the child is scoring 3 A* in SA1, based on our experience, I would advise not to DSA. If you are still not confident of the expected outcome of PSLE, DSA only in the top school if you must, don’t go for multiple schools . It’s going to be a tough year, don’t add unnecessary pressure into the kids life. Support and love them along the journey.

Hi,

Just seeking your opinion as I am pretty much same situation. Which school do you think you should have DSA in your case? Assuming you are aware of PSLE 265 plus range result?

In hindsight, obviously for option 1 only.

Wait list and confirmed offer

Dear parents,


I would like to share our experience with DSA. My DD opted for DSA - Acads as she had consistently been part of the top 5% of her cohort in primary school and a multiple gold medal winner at the Olympiads. Nonetheless, we opted for DSA to pre- secure her a place and thereby minimise the pressure on PSLE. As it turns out she got a WL from choice #1 and CO from choice #2 during the DSA. Her PSLE result was 265+ but the die was cast and despite getting a phenomenal Tscore she had to settle for the second option.

Moral of the story : if the child is academically great, don’t rock the boat with a DSA. Stay cool and let the child prove their mettle in the National exams.

[quote=\"Clueless101\"]Hi everyone,


Has anyone done a comparison between MGS IB program and Raffles Diploma? Which one is recognised better if applying to an overseas university?

Thank you !

A better comparison would be between IP and A levels. The Raffles Diploma isn't used for applying for unviersities. It's just gives some additional info about a girl's achievements.

problem is ... many of us have a difficult time (undecided dilemma), choosing between (Year 5 & Year 6) IB path or choosing A-level, particularly those from MGS O-level track[/quote]It’s really not a make or break decision. Both IB and the A levels are well recognised within Singapore and the overseas, both offer the same subjects, both offer an equally intense curriculum..per my humble opinion, its the university and the chosen subjects there that are more relevant to career choices.

phtthp:

for 2019 Sec 1 cohort (born 2006) :

MGS open 3 IB classes, plus 6 O-level classes

Are they likely to mix the kids (O), IP for some classes ? Asking as IP books except English are also O level. Any chance you would know?

for 2019 Sec 1 cohort (born 2006) :

MGS open 3 IB classes, plus 6 O-level classes

Can anyone give feedback on MGS Secondary (IB)? Is it academically challenging? My daughter is very gifted when it comes to studies but we were looking for a course which provides well rounded development without sacrificing on academic rigour. Please advise

phtthp:

2018 official Cut-off-point, for 2019 Sec 1 admission intake (born 2006):


MGS (IB) : 258

MGS (O-level): 254

Does this mean that the program is not doing well or that they want to attract more non MGS girls ? :idea:
