Maryg, Kuo Chuan historically ballots at 1-2km. Last two years, no chance for ballot at 1-2km as <1km fills up the seats exactly. See history here:

However, the take up rate for tiger babies from earlier phases is lower this year. Guess you have the monitor the stats for these two schools and decide on the last day? Teck ghee <1 km should be quite safe.

Hi MOM2ij,

which means we can only monitor on the first two days right? Then on the third day we have to decide whether in the morning or afternoon theres no difference right ? because the system doesn't show updates on the 3rd day, am i right? Thanks.

Hi Ruhuasee,

On the 3rd day, you will need to go to the schools personally and ask for the no. of SC applicants <1km and 1-2km. MOE website will not tell you the distance breakdown for day 1 and day 2 update. You can go to Bishan Primary school thread (http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum ... start=1720). Lexy has given his prelim thoughts on KCCPS balloting history. Hope this helps!

need advice!! in a dilema whether to try register at Poi Ching or just register and ballot at St hilda’s.


Poi Ching - 1-2KM from my house, left 101 seats
St Hilda’s Primary - Within 1km, left 50 ( confirm need balloting for SC within 1km)

Hi MOM2ij,

thanks for replying, i aiming for jurong east 2 schools actually, but want to see which has a higher chance to get in. i am just not sure about how people monitor the system and decide on the 3rd day... can i ask you by end of 2nd day, what useful indication will we get from the MOE website to help us make decision? On third day, we still need to go down to the 2 schools which we aiming for to see which has the higher chance right?

THanks a million. :rahrah:

Hi Ruhuasee,


MOE website will tell you no. of applicants vs available seats. Guess it can give you an indication of how oversubscribed or undersubscribed a school is. But ppl could be watching stats and applying only on 3rd day morning. That’s why P1 registration is such a stressful event!

Does anyone know if registration through P1-IS can be withdrawn online on Friday?

No, unfortunately withdrawal and reapplication will have to be done in person. And make sure you give yourself enough time and have all the necessary documents on hand ( both parents IC and child's BC). You will need to register at a school by 4.30pm, otherwise the school may not count your application.

From the FAQ on the website, it seems that withdrawal can be done online, however, re-registration will have to be done in person at the school of your choice.
