Hi,
Would like to ask if anyone knows about RI’s placement test for the Singapore Biology Olympiad i.e. format of test, standard of questions (pegged at Sec 4 level or A level), what type of questions etc.
My DS will be sitting for the placement test on Wednesday. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks 🙏🏻

My DD is Sec 2. So I can only provide info for this batch.
hi experts ,
may i ask the following:
1.) how many classes in Sec 1 for 2023
2.) roughly how many students each class
3.) do school mix the students with better AL score together say 5&6 pointers in a particular class or are the students thoroughly mixed?
3.) how much is a typical meal say 2 veget and 1 meat dish cost with rice? <$3. ? and are the foods mainly carb based? Any vegetarian stall?
4.) how active are whatapp group for parents in each individual class or is it 1 for entire cohort?
5.) boys vs girls ratio for each class
6.) what Personal Learning Device ? ipad or chromebook?
thank you

1) 9 classes in total
2) 35-36 students per class
3) mostly per meal is less than $3
4) No batch chat; only class chat for parents allowed. My batch started a batch chat in the beginning. But it was closed after a few weeks as the school said they will arrange for class chat (with a PSG volunteer inside each class) instead
5) no fixed ratio but definitely more girls than boys in the school
6) chromebook -
RE: * Raffles Institution (RI) - Year 5-6
For Year 5, my son is thinking of taking 2 science subjects and 1 Maths. He’s deciding between Economics or History. He’s interested in History but worried about the content load of History. He heard his friends said Economics is “lighter” but this is a new subject which he hasn’t touched before. Any advice from parents in relation to these 2 subjects pls? Thanks.

RE: Chung Cheng High (Main)
My child is interested to take triple science + history/ss in Sec3. May I know if any parents have kids in this subject combi and can share any experience or insights? I prefer her to take 2 science subjects + 2 humanities but she has no interest in Geography or Lit and prefers science. Thanks

RE: Chung Cheng High (Main)
May I know how many subjects that students normally take in Upper Sec? 9 or 8? Assuming pure science combination.
Can triple science take with double humanities? Or just one humanity subject. Thanks. -

No need be sad lah. Going to CCHM should be an exciting journey and I am sure both you and your child should be looking forward to it since it’s your choice!
Good idea to convey our voice to the school. In fact, I have already sent the message to the school. But the school just replied that it would consider this in the future. sad. I hope PSG can do something about this.
If you are so concerned about getting enough sleep for your child, why don’t you consider to move his/her bedtime earlier by half an hour? Wouldn’t this be easier than getting the entire school to change the school hours? No offence, but I really cannot understand your logic leh :boogie:
