advice needed gurus. we're accepted as PV by both Southview and Rulang. we stay within 1km of Southview. which one do you think is a better choice to register?

I'm assuming you are in the wrong thread. You probably won't be able to complete PV in time for 2016 registration.

Need some advice.....


Staying at sengkang, nearest school around are Fernvale and sk green , both are within 500m. Hoping to enrol to sk green but looking at the balloting history it is very stressful and the chances is like 50/50. Although birth rate for the year of tiger is lower but is still hard to judge as there are too many new Pr/ foreign residents.

Another way is to enrol for affiliated school under phrase 2B , but it is at bishan/amk. Always traffic congestion along the way and my kid has to wake up much earlier compared going to a nearby school. But if I dun try to enrol for phrase 2b and fail to enrol to sk green, which means will fall under 2Cs or go to Fernvale. I only prefer to go sk green instead.... shd I take go for phrase 2b which means my kid has less time to rest and more traveling time or should I just take the risk to ballot??? Maybe I'm one of the lucky ones....

We are SC, does it means we stand a higher chances and first priority will goes to us first instead of PR?

Headache... :idea: please advise

While there is much angst against the so called \"withdrawal-method\", the pragmatic thing to do is to register in your affiliated school in Phase 2B first and then monitor SK Green's take-up rate by Phase 2C to decide if you wish to gamble for a place in SK Green.

Being a new school SK Green has been oversubscribed since 2013 and you will probably be looking at odds of 2 for 1 place in Phase 2C even if you are staying <1km. The good news is that Fernvale is available for those in Phase 2C, but it is indeed getting popular recently so you should probably go for Fernvale in Phase 2C since there will likely be balloting in Phase 2C(S) for Fernvale.

And yes, SC has \"absolute priority\" over PRs.

Hi chiefkaisu


If once my kid is enrolled to the phrase 2B affiliated school , is he still eligible to enrol for phrase 2c? Cause you mention about enrolling him to phrase 2B and continue to monitor the take up rate for sk green at phrase 2c. Which means we are still eligible to register at phrase 2c even we alry got in the affiliated school I’m

Im quite confused

You are still eligible for Phase 2C. However, to participate in 2C (assuming you have secured your place in 2B), you will need to withdraw from the school. Once withdrawn, you lose the secured seat.

Ok thanks for all the advice.


Really need to think … is a 6 year commitment for him to wake up early to go school or via sleep longer and go nearby school. Affiliated school isn’t a branded school though… haiz

Hi, for phrase 2c, is there a difference between registering in day 1 n day 3? I have seen some thread that ppl register in day 1, then by day 3 when the balloting risk are high they withdraw n register in another school. Why not wait till day 3 to see the odds then register once n for all? Just curious?
