Assuming both child B and Child C scores AL 7 HMT distinction, same score, then child C will get in first since child C choose NYGH 1st choice and Child B choose NYGH as 2nd Choice. Both child B and child C are SC.

Yes. That is correct.

How about this scenario?


Child A SG AL6 + HCL Merit
1st choice : RGS
2nd : NGYH

Child B PR AL6 + HCL Merit
1st choice : NGYH

If cut off point for RGS is AL5, will child A get priority over B for NYGH since she is a s’porean?

TIA.

Yes. The tie-breakers for SAP school are HCL Grade-Citizenship-Choice Order.

So means even when child A puts NGYH as 2nd choice, she will still get priority over B who puts 1st choice? (both have same AL5 + HCL Merit)

For any PSLE AL Score, SC will rank ahead of PR (regardless of choice order) with the exception of SAP school and the PR having better HCL score.

Within any AL Level and same HCL score, SC will again rank ahead of PR. Ie. AL6(D)-SC-2nd choice is ahead of AL6(D)-PR-1st choice.

Child A SG AL5 + Merit
1st choice : RGS
2nd : NGHY

Child B PR AL4 + Merit
1st choice : NGYH

Will A gets priority for NGYH?

AL score comes first if below COP.

I think B will get in since B has AL4 which is better than A who has AL5.

In fact, AL4 no HCL will beat AL5(D) regardless of citizenship and/or choice. This is the reason to say HCL doesn't matter or not worth it. Of course, dropping HCL does not guarantee the other subjects will score better.
