My understanding is that the grades are based on the raw scores. http://www.moe.gov.sg/media/parliamentary-replies/2010/07/reveal-psle-raw-scores.php Thus grades are not normalized. You just made my dd super duper happy. She just ran out of the room shouting "Yay Yay Yay..." and flapping her arms l...

Share info. I just called Unity Sec and they are having open house on 23-Nov (Fri) and 26-Nov (Mon) from 9am - 3pm.

This yr the principal at my girl's school didn't announce the top scorer and didn't mention how many % abv 250 (like in previous years). She did however named those who got abv 250 so the parents hv to count and do the maths.

This year is her o level and then hook really prepares the students for it. Just my 2 cts worth of info...

So far I only know of Choa Chu Kang Sec, Clementi Town & Hillgrove. Some schools indicated it somewhere obscure on their w...

I forgot. My mom said you must choose the batang fillet properly. Some parts are harder. Best is to buy from a fishmonger at the market and ask for that particular softer cut. A fishmonger told her. I believe you are right. Last week I saw one stall selling the fish that is bigger than the usual on...

He has to make a decision fast because his results will affect the streaming in Sec3 and ultimately his chances of going to JC/Uni. If you are worried about the syllabus, SST seems to be teaching faster than normal schools s...
