2018 P1 registration exercise for 2019 intake

[rennug]

Sorry noon questions for a first time parents whose kid is going to register for 2020 intake?


1. When will balloting statistics for the 2019 P1 intake be out?

2. Only has a 1 in 3 chance of getting into our preferred school (A) under 2C but 90% chance of getting into decent neighbourhood school (B). Both within 1km.

Should we try for A or B in 2C given that the other schools in our area with places remaining in 2C(S) aren’t that great?

This question should have been posted under the 2019 for 2020 thread
The stats will be out WHILE they are still useful. That is, before the P1 Registration this year.

For your 2nd question, you must state the chance of getting into the 2nd school in the last Phase 2C(S). If the chance is very low, I think I would prefer to take the 2nd school earlier in Phase 2C.

Oops, sorry didn’t realise there is already a thread for 2020 intake.

Yup, practically no chance of getting into B under 2C(S). So looks like better to go for the bird in hand (B) than the two in the bush (A).

Bukit Timah Road is smack right in the centre of Singapore. Anywhere is accessible for them :evil:

Hi. Can someone please clarify this: When people say \"BTPS went into a ballot in 2018\" - they mean that it did for phase 2C(S), right? Does this mean that all those who registered for phase 2C - including all PRs - had a straight-forward admission, without any ballot, right? This is important for me to understand.

Also, did schools like BTPS add an extra class only for this year ('dragon' kids), or is it a permanent addition?

Thanks!

Hi all,


May I know if school will make known to us on no.of SC registered (e.g for phase 2b) at the end of each day of the registration? I want to see if the possibility of getting in. If it’s too many ppl registered, I may change the school before the registration is closed (e.g. close on 21 Jul for phase 2b) . Thanks.

You have to ask the school office directly. Nicely. They are not obligated by law to tell us.
