Thanks Swc, in this case, to transfer in secondary schools, it is not based on own school's exam results. There is a need to go to the desired school and take their tests.

thanks for this information. it is helpful as no idea this is how it works.

Express to express, most of the time, it is based on your school exam results, there will be no internal school exam. It is like transferring pri sch.

Hello MerlioninGermany

Thanks for the info. In this case, would it be first come first serve (base on how early you register or higher rank in the waitlist?), or based on your sec 1 results at existing school?

Thanks again.[/quote] it is not first come first served, surely the school will pick someone with good sec 1 results, when they are looking to fill a vacancy in sec 2 of the following year.

Hi all,


Would like to ask your opinions. My DS scores 270 and RI is his dream school. However, we are residing in Jurong and are concern with the travelling time. SAP schools are not possible as he doesn’t take Chinese. And there is a lack of good schools near us. Would you consider RI if you’re in our position? Thank you.

Hi everyone! My friend's boy got 228, can you share your advice on his choice of Sec schools, please? He is staying at Queenstown. Many thanks~

How about considering Gan Eng Seng Sec Sch - 227 cut off point or Queensway Sec Sch - 222?

Go for it! My eldest is in RI and we are staying in the Far East 😂 but my DS loves the school so much. He travels about 1 hr plus to and from school each way, but he does it willingly. Contrary to myths about elitism and selfishness, I find RI students to be very supportive and helpful. My DS friends will share notes, help one another and even go in groups to consult the Teachers when in doubt. The parents support group is excellent too! Parents share information readily too. There’s a big batch chat with more than 250 parents inside.

DS is very glad that he chose RI. Teachers are very dedicated and they treat the students as young adults. No regrets choosing this school for us.

Good luck to you!
