2015 PSLE Discussion and Strategies

Can I ask for advice? My DD got 252+2… Her friends all got either 260+ 270+ or 230+240+… Haven’t heard of anyone who had gotten similar mark as her yet…Should she go River Valley High or Bukit Panjang Gov High? I heard that this year’s cop for schools will increase by 4-5… Is RV or BPGH a better choice?
RV vs BP
IP vs Non-IP
SAP VS Non-SAP
Further a bit VS nearer a bit
Risky VS not as risky
( because I heard cop will increase by 4-5…)
Is the options below okay?
1) RV/BP
2) RV/BP
3) Swiss Cottage
4) Kranji
5) Commonwealth
6) West Spring
Most of her friends are either going NJC which she cannot enter or Swiss Cottage which is her 3rd choice… -

If you list the above as your top 3 choices, you can just put a smiley face for your 4th, 5th and 6th choice.

There is nothing to consider after Swiss Cottage if your daughter t-score is 252. -
678Yess:
Any mainstreamer scored 260 being offered EESIS?
Hi 678Yess, the EESIS is given to those mainstreamers who scored 262 points & above. Written on the greem form. -

Edyboy:
Dear fellow parents, can anyone advise how this EESIS works? is it to offset the sch fees for IS?..many thanks all...[/quote]
Kindly quote the source from MOE saying EESIS being 262.tankee:
[quote=\"gardenia64\"]Moe said EESIS this year is 262, last year is 258. From
Last year COP of each school will be raised up to 4 points, I think. This means this year paper is difficult.
It is used to offset the school fee if your child is admitted into an independent sec school with EESIS. There is no need to apply, once your child is eligible and is enrolled in an independent school, school fee will be $200/monthly less than it should be. If your child is eligible but decide to go to a government-aided school, this EESIS does nothing for you then. -

There is nothing to consider after Swiss Cottage if your daughter t-score is 252. So its safe/better to put RV as 1st choice then BP as 2nd?

Other than to fill up space, it won't make sense if you have BP as a choice behind RV. -
ZhenghuaParent:
May I know if she is eligibility for 3rd Lang inclusive of French/German/Jap etc?Can I ask for advice? My DD got 252+2...
Trying to establish the lowest t-score of top 10%. -
ZhenghuaParent:
You can consider Nan Hua and SCGS too. She can take LRT to CCK station n MRT to Clementi, also should have buses to Clementi for Nanhua. She can take bus 700, 190, 960 etc or the new downtown line 2 to SCGS, short travelling time and very convenient. Both schools have good track records, only thing SCGS is independent school, school fees is higher.Can I ask for advice? My DD got 252+2... Her friends all got either 260+ 270+ or 230+240+...

Allocation of schools is by merit. You should put the school with higher cop as first 2 choices if she wants to go ip. She is almost.confirmed can go to BP, so unless BP is her dream school, else you do not have to put BP as first choice.
