Hi parents, I got 265(+2 HCL) for PSLE, and now I'm not very sure which school to go to. I'm living in Sengkang and what I'm thinking is either Dunman, Hwa Chong, Raffles or Catholic High. Anyone has any suggestions for me? It would be helpful, thanks!

Your score of 265(+2 HCL), whether inclusive of +2 HCL or excluding +2 HCL, will be high enough for entering any of the top schools. Considering your address, DHS is a very good school, but a bit far. RI or HCI will be a good choice, CHS is also a very good school. There are lots of discussions on choosing RI or HCI. I suggest you go to visit the schools some more times and feel yourself the school environment before making final decision.

Most important thing is that you feel happy in the school. Good luck.

hi,
my girl scored 257. Was hoping she can make it above 260 for RGS. Any good choices for IP , near novena side ?

:congrats:

There is no harm putting RGS as first choice if this is her dream school.

RGS (last 5 years COP range 259 to 261)
MGS IP (last 5 years COP range 257 to 261)
NJC (last 5 years COP range 254 to 258)
CHIJ St Nicholas Girls' IP (last 5 years COP range 255 to 258)
Singapore Chinese Girls' IP (last 5 years COP range 252 to 253)

All the best! :rahrah:

with 257, she can try St Nicks (AMK), MGS (BT), SCGS (BT), NJC (BT) Maybe Dunman High too ?

If your girl has Higher Chinese pts, can use for St Nicks and Dunman High
