I am thinking to check my son’s Maths result. His very good in Maths, however only had an A. Anyone know how long does it take for MOE/School to revert on their response, considering that we have to submit the selection by 1st Dec ?


Has anyone so far tried this path and there has been changes to the T-score ?

Thanks

Thanks Augmum for the info !

Anyone know if it is difficult to transit from pri school MT to HMT (Chinese) in IP ? If my DS now gets , say around marks 60 to 69 range in pri school for MT Chinese, would it pose a challenge for him to handle HMT in an IP school ?

Also, does IP school beef up those students who does MT (Chinese) in pri school, by giving them extra coaching to catch with their peers who originally has been doing HMT (Higher Chinese) ?

Thanks in advance.

hi kiasimum,
u're welcome
as for my gal's sch (DHS), there is no special or extra class for pupils who does not take HMT in their pri sch.
though the pupil can approach the teacher for extra help or coaching....(they are very willing to help)

not to frighten u, SAP IP HMT is tough
their teachers' expectations are high and their grading is strict.

although my gal's PSLE HMT got a distinction for it
but over in DHS, her HMT grade is the one which is pulling her overall GPA down.
and she often spends a substantial amt of time in doing HMT homework....
frankly, i can see that she dun enjoy her HMT in DHS

Oh dear, sounds really tough in DHS.. I don't think my younger son can pull through SAP IP HMT. DHS is the only IP school nearest East for next yr's admission.

Looks like have to go thru the path of Victoria again, then.. either to Victoria IP or Temasek TA. Only if the 6 year IP pgm starts 1 year earlier. Sigh.

Thanks daisyt and Jennifer for sharing !


@ Jennifer, I was told that if the child pass HMT O level exams (i.e. D7 and above) ie, should be your Year 4, he does not need to offer MT in A levels (year 6). That means one subject less in A levels curriculum. This is the info obtained from my elder son’s admission to VJC IP next yr.

So you may want to encourage yr boy to persist on to complete HMT.

Both my sons sadly do not take HMT (Chinese) right now. So, it will be equally challenging for my younger son if he chooses to do HMT in IP.

Thanks Augmum for the info !

Any chance that Dunman High offers MT option as well ?

Hi there,

Anyone knows of any IP school that gives a choice to students to opt for MT instead of HMT (Higher Chinese) ? I believe my son will struggle in Higher Chinese as he takes normal Chinese.

Any feedback on how hard is HMT in IP ? My son’s Chinese grade is average. Any feedback would be great to determine his education path.

Thank you.
