Hi 226 in Bedok Area, like no schools this range? Not many choices it seems as mine is a boy. need some feedback. thanks.

If willing to travel a bit, can consider St Gabriel (225). Bedok View (218) might be the most logical choice?

Thanks Timmy. was looking at Hai Sing but it appears to be very far as well. For schools these range, really not worth travelling time isn't it? So distance most impt or the school?

Anyone has any feedback on Bedok View Sec Sch?

Thanks

261 as of now. Until someone with 260 (or below) qualifies.

:congrats:

My dd got 260 and do not have ESIS!!! $2.4K x 6yrs = $14.4K gone! So near yet so far!!! Urgghhhhh

No worries, getting her to a desired / dream school is more important than S14.4K, haha, so make a wise choice now.

So ESIS COP this year is confirmed 261.[/quote] Yes, confirm ESIS COP is 261 as she has friends got 261 got it!

DD already got an entry ticket to NYGH via academic DSA. So, it's just the mom feeling a little bitter not having that subsidy of $2.4K per year... To feel better, i just gotta remind myself that i didn't really give her any tuition except chinese over the past 6 years, so save quite a fair bit here also!

Congrats to your DD for such good results :rahrah:

Do note that there is a ESIS (Sec 3) at end of Sec 2. If awarded, it will be 2 years (O-Level Programme) or 4 years (IP Programme).

All the best![/quote]Hey thanks! I guess the ESIS Test will be tougher to get than to score 261 lor... Anyways, I just gotta work and earn more for her fees if she dun get it!

On of my daughters friend got 263+2 and is living in bukit timah area. Any advice?

I'm going to be a stereotypical robot here.
With this kind of score plus the home geographical location, no need to waste brain cells, simply choose HCI or NYGH, depending on the gender.

So ESIS COP this year is confirmed 261.

Yes, confirm ESIS COP is 261 as she has friends got 261 got it!

At least she secured the place via DSA. If this year the COP is 261 or 262, then your DD would have missed it!
