Sorry, I be frank, hope u don't mind
Hi, need opinion on the schools being rank as below orders is it risky for score 246 + 3 ? Thanks
1) Anglican High
Or 2) Dunman High
2) Chung Cheng High
3) Dunman High
Or 3) Temasek JC
4) Temasek JC
5) St Anonthy Cannosian Sec
6) Paya Lebar Methodist
Dunman High is out, because DHS being a single-track IP school, will never drop below 250.
Unlikely that Temasek JC drop to 246, but can still put it in if u want to try for an IP school
At 249 (your 246 +3),
you will be posted to Anglican High & Chung Cheng High (Main), so is a matter of which one u prefer. Is your preferred choice
Naturally, students & parents who prefer Chinese orientated environment, will prefer CCH (Main), because of the affliation to Nanyang Junior College. The name \"Nanyang\" sounds Chinesey, whereas Anglican High is affliated to St Andrew JC, which some people may not like SAJC because some people associate SAJC as a \"fun-loving \" JC
For your #5 and #6 last 2 choices, can swap your Paya Lebar Methodist school before St Anthony Cannosian, unless you are saying that PLMGS is far from your house or inconvenient to reach there ?
Because
PLMGS, this Girls school itself, the Express stream, is a far much better school, compared to St Anthony Cannosian.
Furthermore,
PLMGS is affliated to Anglo-Chinese Junior College, which to me is a better JC, compared to Catholic Junior College, which St Anthony Cannosian is being affliated to.
For me, I don't even want to put St Anthony Cannosian as #6 last choice. Instead, I would rather substitute it by TKGS becsuse in my personal opinion, TKGS is a much better school than St Anthony Cannosian , even though TKGS doesn't have any affliation at all to any JC whereas St Anthony Cannosian still have. But that's my own opinion only. However if u think that having an affliated JC is still safer than not having any affliation at all, then stick back to St Anthony Cannosian as your last choice
But at this point, let me alert u one important thing -
Since you have done exceedingly well in your Psle HCL, warmest Congratulations : distinction, 3 points, definitely no mean feat, not easy. Certainly, you have demonstrated a masterly level of primary school Higher Chinese!
I assume you have received your MOE Eligibility letter, to pursue HCL from Sec 1.
What happen to St Anthony Cannosian Sec HCL students ?
All Sec 1 HCL students, in this year 2020, need to travel to Ngee Ann Secondary for HCL lessons AFTER school dismissed. Can't recall is it travel once or travel twice a week, to Ngee Ann Secondary, just to attend HCL lessons. Is this what u want ?
Any way, by all means clarify and confirm with the Chinese HOD (St Anthony Cannosian) about this travelling thing, for HCL students -
For those scoring 234 and above.
Will strongly recommend Xinmin Secondary (XMS).
Especially for those staying north east area.
Serangoon,Hougang ,sengkang and punggol.
Smaller cohort of only 4 Express class which is 130-150 students.
As compare to full Express stream school of 240-300 students per cohort.
Xinmin secondary is an autonomous school.
High % eligible for JC.
2019 90.36%
2018 93.8 %
2017 91.7%
2016 93.8%
Which compute into 9 in 10 Express stream students qualify for JC.
Another significant factor is XMS offers triple science class. Which greatly enhanced
Students chances entering JC science stream.
Note: XMS is among few autonomous schools that offers triple science. -

I think we need to put away the misconception that triple science class is for the cream of the crop. It's quite different now. And you can't take trip sci in JC anyway. In fact, taking 2 science, 2 math, 2 humans is a safer route for L1R5.

Agree. In fact most of our leaders are humanity major, not science.

My nephew chosen a secondary school that only
offer 1 elective humanity option (history) for triple science class during Sec 3 subject combination selection. He is not good in history, so he is stuck with that weak subject for his L1R5 for JC application. My kids Seconday school offer 4 elective humanity subject options for triple
Science class to choose from in Sec 3, so they have the luxury to select the one most comfortable with. My advise for parents/ students when choosing Seconday school, may want to keep in mind the number of humanity options available during Sec 3 subject combination selection and what they are. -
DD score 241+2, we are staying in Jurong. Hope to have some advises.
The 6 choices as follows:
1. Nan Hua (246) had told that chances very slim but she insist on trying…haiz
2. Crescent Girl (243)
3. Commenwealth (239)
4. Fairfield (243)
5. Fuhua (236)
6. Jurong sec (228) -

Hi, can share where to find 10 years cut off point?
i think dunman high is risky. their cop is like 255, and even though it's a SAP school and your hcl points will be added (246 + 3 = 249) and 255 is kind of far from 249. and their cop has never dropped below 250 (for the past 13 years)ning78\" post_id=\"2005354\" time=\"1606557497\" user_id=\"59547:

it's usually 255+, so i dont think you can get into dunman high with 249. but if you really want to go there, then just put it there.

There are some of the ones you are looking for in the following link. There were some changes with the DSA intake a few years ago so I think people generally trust the recent data more (I think the intro of various IP programmes may have changed things too but this should not matter for the last few years).

Caveat is that all of these COPs can change for reasons that don't seem obvious (or at least obviously predictable ahead of time).

I’ll pick the school with 240 to 300 express students per cohort. The main advantage is choice / variety.
...
Smaller cohort of only 4 Express class which is 130-150 students.
As compare to full Express stream school of 240-300 students per cohort.

These schools may offer triple science with any humanity subject if that’s your fancy (although you probably have to join another class if you are the minority), or double sciences in a number of combo (lit + history, history + geo, lit + geo, physics + Chem, Chem + bio etc). As a result , you can pick something you desire or is very good in. -

3: schools with both express/normal streams
have limited subject combination offering.
Maybe others can validate this assumption
