A.Pupils will work exactly as they do in primary 6, F1, F2 and F3, but more extensively because of exam preparation and requirements.Q.Can my child graduate in F6 without sitting IGCSE A level exams? A.Yes, with a MAC graduation certificate in F4 and in F6. But the college will follow Macau policy guidelines and the IGCSE syllabus because we need to prepare most students for advanced level examinations.Q.Are the examinations the pupils take in F1, F2 and F3 based on coursework (continuous assessment)? A. Partly, and the weightings are:F1 50% continuous assessment: 50% exams.F2 40% continuous assessment: 60% exams.F3 30% continuous assessment: 70% exams.F4 20% assessment: 80% exams; (O level IGCSE final marks - 100% exams.) Q. Can my child continue at MAC without taking O and A levels?A. Yes, but the college expects capable pupils to take the O and A level exams.Q. How valuable are the MAC graduation certificates at F4 and F6?A. These meet the DSEJ graduation requirements.Q. How many subjects can my child take?A. As many as possible, depending on staffing numbers and timetable restrictions. Q. How close is teaching linked to examinations?A. Very close. Most subjects taught will be linked to internal MAC and external IGCSE examinations.Q. What is the difference between the core syllabus and the extended syllabus?A.The core is a basic syllabus: the extended is a more detailed difficult syllabus for the most able pupils.(We teach both the core and extended syllabuses as one subject to all pupils, F1 to F4)聖 公 會 中 學 ( 澳 門 )M A C A U A N G L I C A N C O L L E G E_______________________________________________________________________________________________ Avenida Padre Tomás Pereira, No. 109-117, Taipa, Macau 澳門氹仔北安徐日昇寅公馬路109-117號 Tel: (853) 2885-0000 Fax: (853)2885-0022 Website: .mo Email: admin@.mo親愛的 (小六、初中一及初中二年級) 家長:感謝小六年級家長出席本校於上週4月15日所舉行的小六年級特別會議以及感謝大家對子女在下一學年繼續在本校升讀初中一年級感到興趣。
