If you are choosing a sec school, ……..

I realise that the green MOE booklet, “Choosing Your Secondary Schools”, only lists the cut-off aggregate score for a particular school. This is helpful to some extent, but you also need to consider the MEDIAN aggregate PSLE score of the Sec 1 pupils of that school for the past 3 years or so, to estimate your chances of getting in, or the probability of being selected for good additional learning programmes provided by the school.

To put it simply, the median is the “average” PSLE aggregate score of the Sec 1 students. So if your score is lower than the median, and you still manage to get into the school because your score happens to be higher than the last student accepted into the school, you’ll find yourself enrolled into the “bottom class” of that school. For some schools, this MAY mean getting “less capable” teachers or less enrichment programmes.

You can find out a school’s median PSLE aggregate score through this link provided by the MOE; http://app.sis.moe.gov.sg/schinfo/.

Of course there are other considerations in choosing a school, such as school type, academic band and distance from home. Well, I wish all of you post-PSLE students all the best in your secondary school selection.

Sec 4 IP Math class starts today …..

Just finished teaching the basics of Differentiation (chain, product & quotient rule) to two post-sec 3 IP students this morning. They are from RI and RGS. If you wish to join us, give me a call at 97860411.

Tuition is not just for weak students. Sometimes, you just wanna get ahead of your peers. Headstart classes also make it easier for you to learn in school later.

NEWS – More schools to offer Integrated Programme ……..

From the Straits Times, 19 Nov 2012:

More schools will be offering the Integrated Programme, which allows students
to skip the O levels.

From next year, Victoria School and Cedar Girls’ Secondary School will launch
the six-year programme for its Secondary 1 students.

The two schools will be offering the initiative in partnership with Victoria
Junior College. So students from the two secondary schools will study in their
respective campuses for four years, then move to the junior college for the last
two years.

Schools currently offering the Integrated Programme

  • Anglo-Chinese School (Independent)
  • Dunman High School
  • Hwa Chong Institution
  • Nanyang Girls’ High School
  • National Junior College
  • NUS High School of Mathematics and Science
  • Raffles Girls’ School (Secondary)
  • Raffles Institution
  • River Valley High School
  • Temasek Junior College
  • Victoria Junior College

From next year (2012):

  • Victoria School
  • Cedar Girls’ Secondary School

From 2013:

  • Methodist Girls’ School
  • St Joseph’s Institution
  • Catholic High School
  • CHIJ St Nicholas Girls’ School
  • Singapore Chinese Girls’ School
  • Temasek Junior College (It already offers the programme to Sec 3 students
    but will extend it to Sec 1 and Sec 2 students)

 

From 2013, another five schools will also offer the through-train programme,
where they take the A-levels or International Baccalaureate after six years of
study.

Please double-check your exam timetable!

My student arrived 28 mins late for his H2 Econs exam because he thought the paper was in the afternoon. But he told me he did not panic and calmly completed the paper within the allotted time, a result of being well-prepared. (Btw, I’m not his Econs tutor; I only tutor him in H2 Math and H2 Physics.)

The moral of the story?

(1) Always double-check your exam schedule.

(2) Be well-prepared for exams, even over-prepared if necessary.

(3) Try not to panic in any situation; control your breathing.
