Hi Experts here, someone mentioned that MOE/schools would kind of refer to the order of listing as reference should child request for transfer sometime down the road of 4 years due to whatever reasons, is this true?

I'm trying to be as realistic as possible.... my child had done well for this ONE time assessment. It could be just a fluke due to some last minute booster classes he had attended resulting in induced/inflated result, thought he's quite hard working.  Well, there is a possibility that he cmi in a challenging environment as he came from a holistic neighborhood school.

Hehehe... I may be worrying too much but would greatly greatly greatly appreciate adv from some experts here🙏🏻

Ps: DC tscore 270+2, putting HCI as 1st choice
[ Talk to your child, listen to how motivated they are.

270+2 will put your child around top 1 % I think. Talk to your child, if your child is also driven, and able handle work load well, then shouldn’t be a problem in HCI

I know of 2 person in HCI and RI. Both are “relax” bcos they are not competing to be top student.

So if there is no intention to be top student in HCI, then should not be problem too. If the aim is to be top, then will be making thing difficult for your child in HCI. Or for that matter, any school you choose

:?
What’s with the question marks? If you already prefer Kranji after Swiss Cottage, that should be 2nd after Swiss Cottage. No need to engineer an in-between choice if you don’t want to.

My suggestion:
1) Swiss cottage 242 (-4)
2) Kranji 234 (4)
3) Clementi 235(3)
4) West spring 225(13)
5) Raffles Girls School
6) Nanyang Girls High

The ?? are meant for any other school recommendation and choices 5 & 6 are not funny at all. You can choose not to reply is you find that it is meaningless for you.

You miss the point completely.

A school choice is entirely an individual’s decision and one man’s meat is another man’s poison. Hence, if you have already decided that these are the 4 choices, you can just go ahead with it. Filling it with someone else’s recommendation because the “COP fits”, is going about doing it the wrong way. What if the school posted to is Heng-Heng (or suay-suay) the other person’s recommendation and it turns out that the child hates it? Who bears the blame and who has to face the consequences?

Given that your 2nd, 3rd and 4th will most definitely accept the child, 5th and 6th choice is redundant. You can fill in with anything you want and it won’t make a difference.

No one is gonna blame anyone. We just want to see anymore choices that we can consider.
