2014 P1 Registration Exercise for 2015 In-Take

[ChiefKiasu]

If you want to have some idea of the distribution of parents applying on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd days of Phase 2C, refer to the table found at the bottom http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/content/strategies-phase-2c. It shows the distribution for the 2010 exercise.

I think everyone should just register as early as possible. Why? So that it gives yourself and others a clear indication of the chances. If everyone wait and see and all register on the last day...will have heart attack esp if first 2 days low registration and there is surge in application on the last day after the registration closed, resulting in a reduced chance where you might not be prepared to take *faint* :slapshead:

I agree with you! That's why I registered yesterday! I also thought if all registered early then we can make informed choices. But in reality quite hard to execute. There are many reasons for people who register later.

For most popular schools, 80% of parents would register on the 1st day, 5% on 2nd day, and 15% on 3rd day.

For schools which are considered 2nd-stringers, about 50% would register on 1st day, 10% on 2nd day and 40% on 3rd day, when parents give up on their 1st choice for a safer 2nd choice.

So don't worry so much. Things will work out in their own ways!

I left ACSP about 10, and total registration were 18 (SC:16; PR:2).

Then I checked to ACSJ, their last update on 8:30 shown only online registration which 6/1/6 based on distance (<1k/1-2/>2).

Anybody knows the latest?

May I know where did you see the ACSJ update?

You must enter into the registration room. There is a white board inside the room.

Can anyone advise me if one stands a better chance if he is staying nearer, for eg. 2.1km compare to the other who is staying 5km away from choice school?


Thank you!:)

No. 2.1km has equal chance as 10km.
