Not sure about $80. Tonight check again. 

School level top 25%.

Whole level around i presume 200 students for total of 6 classes. So about 50 would get such certificate. Look like communion sharing of bread. 🤣

Got...when i brought my gal and son on separate occasions to popular bookshop...they thought I'd buy headphone or fictional story books for them...kena stunned like cauliflower or broccoli when i asked them what subject assessment book they would prefer to buy with the prize money...😁

Dragon year. Lots of people must have scored well. Both O level track of the IP schools didn't get.

My girl got her 3rd choice.

 

[Lala81]

This year everything essentially is minus one.

AL5 to get into the top top tier schools. 6 to get into the 2nd tier IP schools. 7 already dicey unless u have 7D.
Someone online put 6 IP schools as all 6 choices and didn't get in with a score of 7M. Assigned random sec school LOL.

She got AL9. Definitely underperformed her friends.

Only can choose st nics and Cedar SEC as the best options. Nan chiau as the 3rd option. 

SCGS is AL8 for both IP and O levels. 

She actually got 1 for both languages. But she got 3 for math and 4 for science. 

I just pointed out to her just now, how can you lose 13-18% of the math paper to careless mistakes... Criminally careless. Have to 反省。

 

So you gonna reduce her phone privilege till improve 🤔?...😂
