ksraja69:

Just wanted to clarify

SJI (IB) and SJI (Express) are two different options correct?

Yes it is indeed. The school codes will be different for each of this option

Thanks Hari

MeMyselfAndI:

With a aggregate of 263+2, RGS or NYGH?

Do you prefer:
Chicken Rice or Nasi Lemak?

Chanel or LV?

Man U or Liverpool (or others)?

Those are questions that can't be answered by anyone else other than yourself

MeMyselfAndI:

With a aggregate of 263+2, RGS or NYGH?

Although we are not sure whether COP will go up or come down this year, proceed to put both NYGH & RGS inside your choice of 6 schools, as long as your last two choices in your list are able to \"catch\" your child.

For NYGH (SAP) school, u can apply your +2 Higher Mother Tongue.

For RGS (Non-SAP), cannot apply +2, so will fall back on 263 T-score.
If 263 is above RGS cut-off-point this year, your daughter will be able to enter RGS successfully.

Chicken rice and nasi lamak again, sorry!!!


What are the pros & cons of RI and HCI? Please share your thoughts.

My boy hit 255 this year. I am still fretting whether to aim for ACS (I) ... Stressed out.

Can also consider other IP schools like SJI, Victoria, Catholic High, River Valley and TJC.

What are the pros & cons of RI and HCI? Please share your thoughts.

Pros and cons:
H comes before R. Helpful if a listing is going by alphabetical order based on school names. RI, however, has less alphabets in both the long and short form - useful if you need to speed write.

RI uniform is white (and white) - unless the student is a female. Could cost you a bit more in washing powder / detergent and bleach over 6 years. P/S: I’m allergic to whiter than white, so HCI FTW.

HCI is closer to the MRT while RI is further. Nonetheless, umbrella is a must for both schools.

Seriously, what are you expecting? Both schools have different culture which may or may not suit your child. Beyond the culture aspects, both schools are among the top schools in Singapore academically where the difference between them is hair-splitting.

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: Funniest response I've read. But I believe there is sheltered walkway from RI to Marymount Station. :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

In that case, RI win lor.

P/S: if you are choosing HCI or RI based on MRT sheltered walkway, I think you are really in trouble :evil:
