RGS sand NYGH cfm have their fair share of stress and competition, unavoidable. NYGH has many fun filled activities u can participate in. Girls there mostly from NYPS. RGS has many programmes to develop talent and new opportunities. Quite equal in terms of school ratio cus no affiliation.

My DD also 256 so now struggling to decide : IP

Or O level ? I'm not sure whether to try RGS as maybe risky ? But between other IP schools , which is better and 'safe' to try : SCGS RV NJC

Advice please ! Thanks

256 can definitely get your DD into an IP programme if she is willing to work hard. RGS will be risky since the difference is 5 points. If your DD can adapt to environment if RGS (many commitments and self-directed learning), then no harm trying. However, RGS environment may not be good for those who do not work well with stress. SCGS would have kids that got in thru affiliation. However, I think that the school is relatively not bad. NJC relatively more stress free. Also a lot of independence required. Hope this helps!

Any questions from Scinece exam to share?

To me, all are quite manageable but there was a handful of challenging questions.

Science paper was easy but the difficult thing was time management people in my school could not finish

Can be both as long as the students bring out what is in the picture. They can’t also possibly fault you for saying a boy is a girl. Sometimes looks can be deceiving.

First topic was 互相帮忙的重要 I found the second pic hard to interpret

Overall, I guess it can be classified as easy but the cloze passage MCQ, had a lot of options with meanings very close leaving us stunned

MT paper was tricky Compo had a topic on the importance of working together and another was school scene, stealing
