Understand the differences Timmy21. Im more concerned about the academics strength which school is better also what are the chances if selected in o-level MGS and later transfer to IP in MGS may be in sec3.

academic strength wise, i think u might be splitting hairs between these 2 schools. As for transferring fr O-level track to IP track, my understanding is that it's tough to do it in any dual-track sch becos u usually would need to be the top few students to be considered for the transfer.

Thanks Timmy21! Appreciate it greatly.

I was told , student still report to the allocated sec sch n after that go to the desired sch to appeal, but does anyone know what is the waiting time to know your appeal is successful or not?

Very fast. Less than 30 minutes.
You can even appeal to schools that are not in yr 6 choices.
Provided you are above cop.

I live in the west, yew tee, cck area, and going to rgs next year through dsa. What is the most convenient way to get to rgs? We wanted to alight from bradell mrt, but we had to walk in an estate as a short cut to get to rgs, and quite ulu area, dunno if it’s safe in the morning or not, so don’t know what other way to get there that is faster and safer?

The MGS P said before that only a handful of MGS O level girls are selected to transfer to the IB track. These girls are usually the TOP few students and they have to have teachers’ recommendations plus must go through interviews. MGS usually takes in about 20+ more in Sec 3. They accept TOP students transferring from other schools, overseas scholars, and a handful of their own MGS students from O level track.

School bus in the morning most fuss free, but have to wake up real early. Your area no need to transfer train, furthermore there bound to be other kids heading to RGS as well as RI from Braddell mrt.

Don't worry. Once school re open, many rg students will be taking the same route from bradell mrt to the gate.

Just for knowledge, may I ask how does affiliation for Fairfield Methodist School (FMS) to ACJC work? FMS does not have IP so does it mean students have to take O-levels and based on COP to be allocated? I check ACJC COP is 9 for outsiders but slightly higher for affiliated students?
