Any year 3 parents here? How are the results for the EOY?

My son just came back. Did pretty alright for the year 3 EOY exam with the exception of the chinese papers. I am glad. Will be getting geography, ss and chemistry results tomorrow. Hope it will be good too.

Wow! That's good Piggylala....my son did quite well in Maths 1&2 but I am not happy with his Physics and English results. He says that the results are bad generally, including a few failures in his class Nervous about Chemistry too. Seems the teachers said that only 7% of the entire cohort has managed GPA 4.0

[PiggyLalala]

Heard the class did not do well for physics too. Oh dear,only 7 percent of the entire cohort managed to get gpa 4.0 for chemistry. Sound pretty low. Now I am worried too.

Please share what is the cohort size and the normal % getting GPA 4.0.

Thank you.

Not too sure about the cohort size. Should be ard 400 plus plus. Different cohorts and different subjects should have different % of students attaining gpa 4.0.

However I noticed that it is possible to get a gpa of 4.0 and the child is in the 80 to 90 percentile for maths and science in lower secondary. This shows that the % of students scoring gpa of 4.0 should be more than 10 percent.
