Key Observations

  • Both Top and Poor Performers have comparable PSLE T Scores
  • Top Performers produce consistent good performance since

secondary 3

  • a. Sec 3: EMB3 of 15 points (averaging 3 points per subject, 65 – 69

marks)

  • b. N Level: EMB3 of 11 points (averaging 2 points per subject, 70 –

74 marks)

  • Poor Performers also show improvement from sec 3 to N level but

unable to sustain the positive trend at O level.

  • a. Sec 3: EMB3 of 23 points (averaging 4 or 5 points per subject, 50 –

64 marks)

  • b. N Level: EMB3 of 17.4 points (averaging 3 or 4 points per subject,

60 – 69 marks)

GREENRIDGE SECONDARY SCHOOL

slide-32
SLIDE 32

Key Insights

  • Everyone has potential to perform well at O level
  • Must start by aiming high
  • a. think of the journey as a 3 year journey towards O
  • level. (Not a 2 year to N Level + 1 year O Level

Journey)

  • b. Sec 3 foundation is critical. (aim for at least 2 or 3

points in all subjects. 65 marks and above. Getting a 4 points or 64 marks and below is a concern)

  • c. Must aim for EMB3 of 16 points or better at N-Level

( even though 19 points is the qualifying criteria for promotion to Sec 5)
