Hi tankee,


This sounds abit complex.Anyway, when term starts next year, everything will be clear.

Yearly there is streaming, after pri four, I think more or less, the pic will be clearer.


Cheers,
Leanne

Hi tankee,

I guess its based on the standing position in the whole standard, not just based one one class alone.For instance, top in one class, maybe ten in another class.

That's what I thought too, but strange thing is why the kid that came in 2nd went 3J, while those after that kid went 3A with the top student.

just wanted to find out , what abot the exams like SAs and CAs, are these Top classes face a different paper or same paper? what are the other differences between the two groups i.e top classes and other classes?

Hello Plum cake,


For Pri three level, all will sit for the same papers
.
However, in pri four, when there are some into gep, bicep and mainstream, there will be some difference.But, eventually in the psle , all will take the same papers.

Cheers,
Leanne

Thank you Leanne,

so for the higher MT how do they test? any additional paper? then whats the point of streaming? what is really happening?more or less all the schools are having this streaming system. Sorry, at my time I didn face that much preasure, but now Its so confusing to understand the system.

My feel is that the top XX goes to 3A, then the next YY goes to 3J, then the next ZZ goes to 3A, then the next WW goes to 3J and so on....just my feel

Hi Plum cake,


Actually in pri three, all are equal standing, no difference in papers.

Its only in pri four, some will go gep which they are on the gifted prog.For Bicep, they selected the top 10 percent from the cohort and go thr interview and test.I think only 50 will be selected but its not based on top 1 or 2 percent.One can be the bottom of 10 percent.For mainstream, again its rank according to sa2 results.


In pri five, when meet the standard to take hmt, one will offer to take hmt.For bicep , they take gep chinese,very enriched in the chinese culture.Class size is small.Top two mainstream classes, size is big and they take normal chinese and hmt.

Hope this helps.

for my DS's class, this is NOT the case.
