If you stay near Beauty World MRT station I doubt you need more than 30mins to get from your door step to RGS. It’s within walking distance from Braddell MRT station (and in 5 years time when she goes to JC, RI is right next to Marymount MRT station.

Seeing the list above, I think my DS t-score 255 doesn’t stands a chance at all for RI. With 255+3 HCL, Can I try HCI as first choice? He wanted to try 1st RI, 2nd HCI. 3rd Dunman High / NJC.coast\" post_id=\"2003948\" time=\"1606295368\" user_id=\"38933:

He has a good chance to enter RI based on his 259 score (refer past 5 years COP below). However, as COP fluctuates from year to year, there is a chance that RI COP is higher or equal than 259 for 2021 intake.
Should have no issue qualifying for Dunman High based on his 261 (259+2) score (refer past 5 years COP below). Dunman High COP has never reach 261 (based on COP since 2007).
All the best! :rahrah:

Appreciate advices. Thanks!
There is no harm putting RI as first choice even though the chance is very low (RI lowest COP is 256 in 2015).
Can put HCI as 2nd choice. His chance for HCI is about 40% based on his 258 (255+3) score (refer past 5 years COP below).
Almost a certainty that he can get into Dunman High based on his 258 (255+3) score (refer past 5 years COP below).
His chance for NJC is low based on his 255 score (refer past 5 years COP below). However, if he prefers NJC than Dunman High, he should put NJC as 3rd and Dunman as 4th.
As COP fluctuates from year to year, please put very safe choices for the 5th and 6th.
All the best!

Schools located, in the east
1) go Chung Cheng High (Main), if want affliation to Nanyang Junior College
But in CCH (Main), they are concerned over Chinese.
All students study HCL, from Sec 1. This is wonderful, of course !
But,
at Sec 3 after sit for O-level (Standard Chinese)
a) if you clinched a minimum (A1 or A2 or B3) in your O-level (Standard Chinese), then proceed in the immediate following year Sec 4 to take O-level (Higher Chinese).
b) But in Sec 3, if you scored (B4 or C5 or C6) in your O-level (Standard Chinese), considered not an ideal grade, school will request you to re-sit for Standard Chinese one more time, give you a a second chance to improve your grade
, in the following year Sec 4, in case you need Standard Chinese as one of your subjects to compute your L1R5, for admission into Junior Colleges.
However, you are not allowed to take O-level (Higher Chinese) in Sec 4.
2) go Victoria (O-level), if want affliation to VJC.
All Sec 4 O-level Victoria students, are affliated to VJC.
3) go Anglican High, if want affliation to St Andrew Junior College. -

Mrt Stn to stn, beauty world to braddell 30min is about right. Add 15-20min to get from her hm to BW stn, wait/transfer time n from Brad stn to Rgs, so 45min for a reasonable estimate.

My Boy got 246. If he choose a school with cop 248, is it risky?

He may risk starting the next world war, or creating the next super virus, or causing Singapore to sink.
Or he may have just expended one of his six choices and the system will just move on to his other five. -

Jokes aside, it is actually good strategy to try a school with COP 1 or 2 points above your t score. It fluctuates every year you never know if it’s your turn to hit jackpot. -
Hi, my dd has the same 260 with HMT distinction, she also would like to choose RGS, BUT the COP 2020 is 261, she is concerned if she would waste her first choice. Other choice of school are NYGH, St Nicholas Girls. Any advise for her?
