Just wondering if you guys (fellow tutors) would be interested
in evaluating what score is required for A1/A2?
What I am proposing is we poll our students immediately after
the papers (gotta meet them for the E Maths anyway), providing them
with the correct solutions (consider wrong if not sure if correct)
and getting a rough score, then sharing what they actually got
after the results are released.
For what? So that we know how much to push. As far as I guage,
last year's A1 was 83% or thereabout. A2 was about 78%. So this
year I pushed for the ability to hit 80% ( tried to pyscho them to
aim for 85% by telling them I don't care if it is A1 or A2 since I
can just claim distinction in my promotional materials) but I feel
the syllabus this year is easier and so might be risky? My pool of
Sec 4E is too small this year due to all 1 to 1 tuitions plus got
only EM or 4N level and thus hard to guage this year... so looking
for other tutors to expand the sample pool.
All you gotta do is to get an estimate from your student(s) and
we share our findings when the results come out. My students'
results are always B3/A2/A1 so it will be very indictative of where
the necessary benchmark for A2/A1 is. This should be a win win
cooperative situation for us. The scores will be strictly
confidential between us. I don't badmouth other tutors ever.
