thinking mum:

So, I am thinking,

1st choice 2 points up
2nd choice 1 point up
3rd choice at least level or 1 point down.

safe right? since its by merit and not priority in choice?

As long as you have 1 very safe choice...

The choice factor will only come in play when you decided to do an appeal for admission....a student that put the school as 1st choice will surely be considered first as compare to one that put it as 2nd choice.

Would the school know whether you put them as a first or second choice?

[quote=\"LifeIsGreatInSG\"] Dear Woodgrove and all,

My son scored 252+1, his dream school is RI and HCI but apparently his score is a bit low. We live at Choa Chu Kang.
Can you please advise what's the chance of getting into RVHS?
And how about below school compared with RVHS?
1. Bukit Panjang Govt. High
2. Nan Hua high School

Thanks a lot for your advice.

You can refer to this thread for past COP:
http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum ... 48&t=78590

2013 RVHS COP was 251, so your son has a good chance to get in.

RVHS is 6 years SAP IP leading to A levels.
BPGH is 4 years non-SAP leading to O levels.
NHHS is 4 years SAP school leading to O levels.

Consider those factors and your son's strengths. All the best.


For 252+1, there are many options available if you are alright with independent schools (fees) : ACS O levels, SJI IP (IB)
Or Catholic High IP (A)

Sorry was offline. Yes I agree with the analysis. And yes should be able to get into RV.[/quote]


Thanks, Pixiedust and Woodgrove.
I am happy if my son can get in RVHS, but to play safe, what's the next school you will recommend for his 2nd choice?
Thanks again.

The school typically asks for copy your submission of the 6 choices.

[quote=\"pm123\"]Just wonder...if u know of this 2014 PSLE result,

1, anyone gets 4A* with Tscore lower than 260 ?
2, anyone get 3A* & MT ( CL) A, tscore lower than 255?
3, anyone gets 3A*& EL A, tscore lower than 255 ?

Tq

Yes I know one girl 256, 4 A stars. Mom is wanting to wriggle out of her confirmed offer too.

Oh ? Mt is CL ?

One mom said her child has 2A*, 1A. 1 B ( Malay) with Tscore 269 :yikes: ..is this possible ? Is Malay so hard to get A ?[/quote]Yes mother tongue is Chinese.
I think not very possible to get 269 with 2 A stars, 1 A and 1 B

Is there any parent who has requested to remark the psle papers? Can I know the procedures and dateline of such request? Do I submit the choice of sch while waiting?
