2022 P1 Registration Exercise for 2023 In-take

It’s just a matter of simple maths.
(1) if the remainder number is divisible by 3, no rounding required
(2) if there is a remainder of 1 after division by 3, 2B will round down (0.333…) and get 0 more and 2C will round up (0.666…) and get 1 more seat
- compared to old system, if there is 1 remainder seat left after dividing by 2, it goes to 2B (you can say 0.5 round up can go to either phase but it seems that MOE decided the first phase that takes place gets to do the round up first) > i.e. 2B is worse off than before
(3) if there is a remainder of 2 after devision by 3, 2B will round up (0.666…) and get 1 more seat and 2C will round down (1.333…) and get 1 more seat as well
- compared to old system, if there were 2 seats, 1 each goes to phase B and C as the denominator was 2 (2/2 = 1) thus no differenceStylomum\" post_id=\"2075338\" time=\"1658294829\" user_id=\"143725:
For the schools I’m targeting, it is a round UP. So in your example, Phase 2B gets 29 and Phase 2 C gets 56. The missing 1 place in some schools might be due to twins instead of the the rounding.

Hi all, any insights/thoughts on NYPS for phase 2c? I am currently living within 1km, and unfortunately it’s the only option we have as we have a 2016 boy. And would Bukit Timah Pri be a safe 2cs option? It seems like it would likely go into balloting for >2km. Thanks in advance

It has been and will always been competitive. There are twice as many seats this year in 2C (20->40) but there will be a lot more applicants. I have personally heard of quite a few people moving to 1km to have a try once they heard about the news on increase in reserved seats. It will probably still be better odds than last year (1:3) maybe 1:2 but still fierce.
But there is not much point in all these discussion above because you don’t have much other choice nearby anyway and it costs nothing to try. Unless you are thinking of applying on 2C to a school much further away but does not require balloting. I don’t see much value in giving up a chance at nyps and go straight to say Bukit Timah Primary School or Queenstown Primary School in 2C for more certainty but I don’t know maybe some would consider it.
BTPS is shoo in ar 2C but probably requires balloting for more than 2KM for 2CS, if you fail to secure a seat at NYPS in 2C you can risk balloting again in 2CS for BTPS, or go for New Town Primary School which had never filled up in 2CS so far, it is also nearer to you than BTPS.Ct502\" post_id=\"2075392\" time=\"1658311356\" user_id=\"198805:

Thank you, this is really helpful! Yes we will probably give it a shot. Good luck to everyone!

Ah I see, thank you. I have previously thought the extra seat always goes to 2B!

Admiralty Primary School - Balloting will be conducted for Singapore Citizen children residing within 1km of the school.
Ai Tong School - Balloting will be conducted for Singapore Citizen children residing within 1km of the school.
Anglo Chinese School (Junior) - Balloting will be conducted for Singapore Citizen children residing within 1km of the school.
Anglo Chinese School (Primary) - Balloting will be conducted for Singapore Citizen children residing within 1km of the school.
MOE should consider listing in reverse alphabetical order... maybe not so depressing. -
I’ve always wanted some search functionality by ballot range, most oversubscribed, etc…
I guess RGPS 2B applicants didn’t fall but still enough space for people to get in.
The 1/3 - 2/3 split has hit SCGS. 2C odds may be better, not sure how many more spillover/repeat applicants from 2B failure vs the past. -
Pasir Ris Primary School
Vacancy: 21
Applicants: 22
Balloting for SC < 1km
This one is really WTF?! -

Ya. Saw that - very unlucky to have the coming weekend, living with anxiety because of that last applicant.
