[quote=kaisuparents post_id=2003979 time=1606298469 user_id=35019]Hi All,
My DD got 266. She is deciding between RGS n CEDAR. Any pros/cons, your suggestions/experiences pls.
Thanks.

Think you got no reply because this question is kind of unbelievable.

Not really.

I think people naturally assumed high scorers should pick RGS because it’s a R school. However, some people might prefer Cedar - last year’s highest scorer for Cedar was actually a 270 pointer.

At the end of the day, it’s a personal choice and both schools are very good schools.[/quote]In no reflection of cedar as a good school, but it is kind of extreme between the 2 and at the end of it all it is still IP towards A's. Maybe it is a big pond vs small pond dilemma by the poster

My DS has 251 + 2

Our choice is
1) RVHS 253
2) Catholic high IP 252
3) or 4) ACS I O level 252
4) or 3) Catholic high O level 249
5) Fairfield 243
6) Nan Hua high 246

Any chance for NUS high?

Any advise for these choices? We staying in Jurong East.

Thanks first.

Is the SIE open or were all spaces taken by CO/WL? NUSH targets 250+ and A* in Math/Science so I think it depends on the subject scores.

I heard of a girl in my son’s school getting 282. Wonder what the top PSLE score is this year but 282 is already a very high score by any standard! Anyone heard of higher scores?

My daughter got 259+2. Her first choice is NYGH. Is that a little far-fetched? And her second choice is NJC which is more safe. Should she just put NJC first just to be safe?

Can share if she got ESIS?

Didn’t get any letter or anything to state that she got.

Nope. Know of 1 case years back. High 26X, but chose Cedar. Her Personal choice and to avoid being ‘typecast’ (in the negative sense). 🤣

NUS HIGH is only open for DSA I believe. Your girl has a chance for RV but if that does not happen, Nanhua and Commonwealth are nice options that are relatively near your house.
