Hi kiasu parents:

My son scored 255+3. We stay in west. Our choices as follows:
1)HCI
2)NJC
3)ACSI(IB)
4)RVHS
5)CHS
6)NAN HUA
Need your comments and advice. Thank you very much!

I'm biased in favour of HCI because I'm an alumnus.

However, in all honesty, all these are great schools! I would say that based on the list, RVHS is the barest minimum you will get. Regarding options 1-3, it really depends on COP movement this year, but there's a good chance for all three.

this book is updated every year and is available for download

it says posting based on unrounded aggregate score is there is a tie on rounded score

Thanks for pointing out where to get a copy. It lacks section I, though. I suppose MOE doesn't want the information to get out so readily?

ACS (Barker) also gives the discount to ACJC, right? Anyway, I think these schools are generally ok academically. It's really a matter of other considerations.

I overlooked ACS also got discount for ACJC, and similarly Anglican High gives discount for SAJC entry

parents beside looking at COP should also look at the larger picture of JC entry advantage.

My mistake. I mean Reference I.

Ok, ignore that. I think MOE prefers Reference I for print only and the SIS microsite for online.
