Thanks wonderm and 0xBB40E64 for your clarification.

Just to clarify, would the marks from physics, chemistry and biology be divided equally to get an average and the average score is then added to calculate the msg?

For Sec 1 and Sec 2, Science is considered as one subject. Each term there will only be one science test. Physics, chemistry and biology are taught during science lessons. For my two boys, the ways school covered the 3 sciences were not the same. So they may tweak it again next year. Don't worry about the details for now.

To further elaborate, there will only be one exam paper (LSS), and as for the mark allocation for the 3 modules, IIRC it's split evenly, but even if it's not, it's beyond anyone's control, so no point worrying about that.

If you are really worried, you can from time to time ask to view their ePortfolio.

Hi parents,

I saw a "Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English" with DVD in the booklist. Can I know if this is needed and do the boys need to refer to the dictionary? We usually use the dictionary that we downloaded from ipad app.
Thanks!

Hi HCI parents,

What is the usual dismissal time in Sec 1? My son isn’t taking any 3rd language. I saw the 2013 timetable and there was AEP/MSP/PRP/etc. from 2:20 - 4:50pm. What do those acronyms stand for? Thanks.
