2014 P1 Registration Exercise for 2015 In-Take

[chocho]

Does MOE update today the applicants who registered online?

I read somewhere on MOE website it says something like updates will be provided on 'each registration day'. But I can't find that message to attach here.... So if today is counted as a registration day, there should be updates this evening.

Let's see.

Hi! Anyone know if the updates for number of applicants can be found on line or we have to call the school to find out? Thanks!

May I know how do I interpret this figure from the balloting history? App is 543% for 2c no of school vacancies is 330. How do I read this? 543% X 330 = no of applicants for that phase??

Appreciate if someone could advise. My relative is for 2c tomorrow and I am checking on whether his odds are high. He is SC ,within 1km to ATS and more than 2km to marymount

Hi Littleprince,

What it meant is there is 7 spaces left in ATS phase 2c last year and 38 applicants during that phase. Ie 38/7 = 543%

total number of spaces is indeed 330

Hope this clarifies…

For Aitong, based on the ballot history since 2006, SC<1km balloted for P2C. Your relative stays <1km, so at least he has a chance to ballot.

Read on few forum threads that Marymount is a nurturing school and some people predicted Marymount 2C and 2CS may have higher than usual applications this year, caused by unsuccessful applicants from St Nicks and CHIJ Toa Payoh. Ballot history says no need to ballot for P2C. P2CS may require balloting for SC>2km.

That's all I picked up from this website and various forum. At the end of the day boils down to how much risk your relative is willing to take. One way is monitor the applicant numbers and distance at both schools on Friday afternoon, and then decide where to register on Friday.

Ok thank you so much irvinggoh and nosarah for breaking this down for me. Will inform him and hope for the best!


To all parents under phase 2c, all the best!

Let's see.

Last year, there was no update of applicants on the MOE website after the 1st day of P2C, which is online registration. Not sure will there be changes this year.

Last year, I called my choice school after application close on the 1st day of application to get the total number of kids registered for the day.

Thanks, irvingoh, for the excellent explanation.

Littleprince, if you are not comfortable with those percentages, just look at the table http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/event/2014-p1-registration-phase-2c. The absolute numbers there should give you a pretty good indication of what to expect this year for each school.

If use computer online to register, MOE don't update numbers at end of day.
Only if manual registration go down to school, then update number
