I think this is the best explanation of the process so far. Well done!
Students with the same AL score will be categorised into sub-groupings and the sub group will arrange in the order of
Singapore/PR/Foreigners, follow by choice order of school. Balloting will be done for the last subgroup which contains more students than available vacancies.
e.g. for illustration, if there are 15 vacancies for AL6 and there are 30 applicants, the 30 applicants will be arranged according to subgroup.
Subgroup 1 ( AL6 + SG + Choice 1) 8 students
Subgroup 2 (AL6 + PR + Choice 1) 2 students
Subgroup 3 (AL6 + IS + Choice 1) 10 students
Subgroup 4 (AL6 + SG + Choice 2) 2 student
Subgroup 5 (AL6 + PR + Choice 2) 5 students
Subgroup 6 (AL6 + IS + Choice 2) 3 students
Since there are 15 vacancies left, only subgroup 3 will have balloting because all student in subgroup 1 and 2 has given priority, while subgroup 4 5 and 6 have no chance even with same AL6 scores.

This is not correct because citizenship trumps choice order.

Subgroup 1 gets first priority.
Subgroup 4 get second priority. SG citizens rank ahead of PRs and foreigners irrespective of choice order.
In this example, where there are 15 places:
8 get in from subgroup 1 (SG + 1st choice)
then 2 from subgroup 4 (SG + 2nd choice)
then 2 from subgroup 2 (PR + 1st choice)
then the remaining 3 spots are balloted among the 10 students in subgroup 3 (IS + 1st choice) -

I don't think the flow is correct, because citizenship status is at a higher priority than the order of choice. So, group 4 will be taken first before group 2. But I might be mistaken.

So for RI and RGS, I reckon there will be a large pool of AL6 students who apply RI/RGS as the first choice and they are all Singaporeans. MOE will likely use the same balloting approach as primary school enrollment. Doesn't need to be anything fancy. -

Yes, sorry. That's right
NJC and St Nicks are also AL7 schools -

According to MOE website.
S1 Posting Tie-Breakers (in order of priority)
1) Citizenship (priority given to Singapore Citizens, followed by Permanent Residents and International Students)
2) Choice order of schools [NEW]
3) Computerised balloting

My interpretation of the above is that SG will be given the priority if they select the same choice.
MOE tie-breaker illustration is also not conclusive.

Oh yes! You are right. But I like that way he explained the process.

All SCs will be given priority before PRs, regardless their order

AL6 SC order 6 will get the priority before AL6 PR order 1. -

Maybe this is the part.
All SCs will be given priority before PRs, regardless their order
AL6 SC order 6 will get the priority before AL6 PR order 1.
Citizenship status will be the first tie-breaker, followed by school choice order. Students will only be balloted when those vying for the last place(s) in the same school have the same PSLE Score, citizenship and choice order of schools. -
