Hi bluemom, you can check out the syllabus for HCL and CL from SEAB website which outline the assessment criteria and scope of coverage.

http://www.seab.gov.sg/pages/nationalExaminations/GOL/School_Candidates/2017_GCE_O.asp

I know the assessment criteria differs for HCL and CL as I was doing a similar comparison last year when trying to decide whether my DS should opt for HCL.

Moreover, if your child is in an IP school, the syllabus for HCL will vary from school to school.

Hope the above helps.

Bishan to Dover don't have to go via Jurong.
Circle line to Buena Vista and EW line to Dover. Very doable.

Hi

Like to chk if can appeal to sch of lower choice ranking, if posted to one of higher choice ranking. Eg. If posted to sch of choice no.3, can appeal to sch of choice no.4, assuming 4’s COP is lower than no.3’s.

Just curious why you didn't place the school as your 3rd choice then?
Yes, can appeal since you meet the COP but subject to availability of places in the seats.

DD keep commenting that a lot of her frens going to sch choice no.4, tho’ I convinced her that she would make new frens if posted to sch choice no.3. In case when posting results out that she really feels miserable as one & only in a new sch.

Please note that even if you intend to appeal, you must still report to the school you are posted to on 22 December, 830am.
All the best to your DD!

If School 3 is indeed a \"better\" school to DD in terms of the distance, CCA available, culture etc, other than the number of friends she already knows, I think it is worth giving the school and your DD a chance. Frankly, how many of our good friends are from Primary School? And kids do make friends very easily.
