If child got HMT 50% in Sec 2 year end, child can still do HMT in Sec 3. But teachers will strongly encourage child to drop. Because got less students to teach and can protect school's results. A bit selfish of the teachers. Sad to say, but it's true.[/quote]

from what I know, the school wont force you to drop. They might encourage you to drop since they think you might not be able to do well in O level. Is still your decision at the end of the day.
AHS produce good O level result every year. Put your trust in the school and if really in doubt, should not hesitate to speak to the teacher.

she is below average of the cohort but I doubt the teachers will suggest taking another year.
unless going to other JC.

Being below average of the cohort isn't a good indicator of how she'll do at A levels, because of the varying calibre of students in different JCs. In a better JC, being below average would still land you in university. A better gauge would be to speak to the teachers. An experienced teacher from that JC would be able to tell you, based on past statistics, how your daughter is likely to fare given her promo results. I know of a student who scored a D in the promos but was assured by the subject teacher that the student would score an A in the A levels. Which is what happened.

thanks for the advice.
would check with the chers during PTM.

Another exploratory question as my JC1 said that they will only get back the result after oral presentation so as not to affect mood. Wondering what happens to students if they don't meet promo criteria? Can they still be advanced?

My dd had classmates who were given another chance to sit for exams when JC2 reopens.

Is this the so-called ‘re-exam’? My dd’s JC stopped this practice starting with the 2019 JC1 cohort

I heard from my DD yes, there are some JCs only give the promo results in nov.
these will be the JCs that have no re-exam in JC1, I guess.
for my DD Jc, they have supplementary papers if you failed as overall subject grade.

Hi all

found this very old thread.
I am just wondering for your kids who had done badly during JC1 , how did they flare for their A level?
very concern with my DD who just got her promo results

1st and foremost, does the results reflect the effort she put in?
Not everyone chiong for promo

she works hard actually, but I think it also depends a lot on the actual day performance.
she is well aware of the impt of the promo exam.

she is below average of the cohort but I doubt the teachers will suggest taking another year.

unless going to other JC.

Hi all parents, need some advise from you. My girl is 3 years old and has lazy eye on her right eye since 1 year++ old. I brought her to see Dr. Leo in ME hospital last year and were advised to put eye patching. She has been putting eye patch every 2-3 hours every day for 7 months already. Today Dr. Leo advised that need to do surgery because after 7 months eye patching, the conditions not much improved. I'm shocked that the costing for the day surgery is about $7k++ - $8k. Any parents here know the costing for lazy eye surgery normally is how much?

hi, u can enquire eagle eye center. They are in most of the private hospital.
they have doctors that specialize with children.
for surgery , you should be able to claim under insurance if you do cover your kids.

Hi

I am also sourcing for tutors.

So far this is what i have researched, hopefully other parents can share too:
1.GP, Econs - Indigo seems quite popular, and even has a HCI class in their Balmoral outlet. MY DD went for the trial in Novena but she claims the classroom walls are not soundproof hence quite noise when students are outside.
2. Physics - currently attend the tutor who is the 'most popular Physics teacher'' in Bishan. google and u can find him. so-so reviews from my girl. She said better than no help at all.
3. Math - wanted to try out True Learning, but haven't start.

Another popular JC tuition is Learner's Lodge.

Just jumping on this thread to share my contacts.

1. Econs. Terence from Ace Clinic Education, He teaches many RI and Hwa Chong kids. He provides his own notes which are useful for examinations. There are also some video testimonials on his website.
2. Chemistry - Donnell from Twig Learning Centre. He also teaches many RI, Hwa Chong kids and others from top schools. Also provides his own unique notes for examinations.

Hello Sean,

I was told by a friend that this forum sometimes have lobangs for referral/discount codes. It appears that this Ace Clinic has a 10% referral code. Do you happen to have one for their JC Economics class? My son is in JC1, did not do well for his first test.

Also, any additional information or recommendations are appreciated![/quote]Hi, u mentioned your son did not do well for his first test. I was wondering what is the percentile that he scored?
I am also wondering what are the so called acceptable percentile or that fall below that should raise alarm?
I understand during the P talks that is common to fail ? :yikes:
