PSLE 2009 RESULTS!!

mathsparks:

prestigious no doubt, but isnt this the 2nd intake at sec1 only? your kids ready to be guinea pigs? plus NJC is a government school not IS school. So, please go in with your eyes open.

Government schools may not be in any way inferior to IS schools. I know of many government and neighbourhood schools whose teachers are more dedicated than those in IS schools.

Well, the grass is always greener on the other side of the field... my hubby is an ex RI boy but he prefers his son to go somewhere else... :?

James Ang:

his MT pulled him down. I reminded him to focus on weak subjects, but I do not teach him MT. hahahha, I was surprised with his 3A* but agg only 240, but it happens.

What could be B ( high or low) for 2A* , A for other subject with Aggregate of 240? or is it 2A* are very high A*

This is my DDs score & wondering B is high or low.. it was maths & we have lot of respect for tutor who coached her well until 'super challlnging ' paper. Whatever the case , Tutor prepared well for S1 in general & bring her maths skill upto-date

B can be quite low score/grade that can pull down overall aggregate although other subjects score A/A*.

there is post in the second thread which reads...
[quote]Yet a couple of sec school teachers told me this is not the case... They say if put the preferred school as 1st choice even though a couple of points short from COP, we'll miss the boat, as in end up even second choice can't make it even though qualify for it cos others of similar score who put first choice get it first...

I guess couple of parents including me are still having confusion about 'Putting second choice for reachable school harm your chances anyway?'

I have called up MOE and my doubt has been cleared.

I was told that by MOE that the marks all PSLE students received are only rounded marks. In reality, MOE has a list of all students' marks in \"many decimals\".

When I asked \"how many decimals ?\", the officer told me politely that this is confidential but she told me that the decimal places are \"very long\" and therefore very unlikely there are 2 students with the same score.

Based on this, she told me that you won't be at a disadvantaged if you put a school as 5th choice as compared to someone who put at 1st choice for the same school.

Hope this cleared everyone's doubt !!

Cheers

Though I do not really agree about the prestigious part (as compared to RJC or RI or HCI), I agree with mathsparks about the \"guinea pigs\" things. Don't think they have much experience running it.

Based on my friend's comments, he told me that his daughter complained that the IP course is quite haphazardly organized.

Yes, pls go in with eyes open. My opinion is that with 263, better go RI or HCI.

Cheers

Erm, they've been having this since 2004, but they've just extended it to sec 1 this year. It used to be sec3 - JC2, now its 6 years. They have experience, for sure. RI is my dream school :stupid: but with score of only 257 (because my my stupid only A maths) this year, I can't get there. Go to RI, i agree on that point

in fact, moe had already made it very clear abt the ranking of t-score in merit
when choosing secondary schools and also from the primary school P6 info nite briefing.
wonder why \"some teachers\" would say something the opp to confuse parents.

i would like to relate this to the \"maths algebra thingy\"
moe replied-----------------Can use algebra or any mathematical logically methods while some teachers still say the opp. Sigh!!!
