Just wondering... Most mention distance as a factor in school selection...any parents here of older kids who travel to school?
Or anyone who does not mind the travel time and is considering a school that requires travel?
What would you consider as an OK traveling time?

My boy went to VS, very far from home.
He had a choice of SJI (10-15 mins), ACSI (minimum 50 mins), CHS (10-15 mins) and VS (minimum 50 mins) but chose the furthest.
But he was never late. He didn’t mind travelling, spent his time napping on the bus. No impact on his grades in VS and VJ too.
He got used to waking up early to study and planning his journeys.
There are boys staying in Boon Lay, Sembawang, Woodlands, Clementi, Pasir Ris etc who goes VS. Some were head prefects and student leaders.
The principal of VJ joked that the students who are always late stays next door : )

If based on Prelim results (Total aggregate x 0.75), How far is the PSLE results compared to Prelim? Can someone share some statistic? Mine is +14

My youngest child is +40.
I find it strange that teachers like to use this predictor. It does no good whether prediction is high or low.
Thankfully his older sibs were all +30-+40
Otherwise he wld be so demoralised.

Generally, most students would benefit if their score is close to the median, i.e. they are not too strong and not too weak relative to their cohort. Since schools typically set their pace according to the strength of their cohort, the student is unlikely to have to slow down considerably for their weaker school mates or to speed up to catch up with their stronger mates.

Agree. Very important consideration.
In sec/JC, it’s not only academics that a child needs to handle.

Mine is very accurate tho, I got the same score as when I calculated my prelim times 0.75

Mine is very closed, 0.75+2.

Are they in the same Pri sch?
Does it mean this Pri sch set tough prelim papers?

Both my boys prelims to psle were 0.72.

Heng suay, if choice school is near then good, if it is far, then bite it. Distance is never a deterrent. Both dc, one is far, more than an hour. The other is near.

Bcuz I believe in pacing n then sprinting at the final lap for all major exams.
There’s so much more in life to see, experience and do than just mugging and mugging.
