Asking on behalf of a friend. Her DS scored 17. He is a PR. Below are the choices. Risky? If 1st to 5th choices not able to get, 6th shd be quite safe right?

1) Queensway /17/Margaret Drive
2) St Gabriel / 17/ Serangoon
3) Mayflower /17/ AMK
4) Deyi Sec / 18/ AMK
5) Kent Ridge / 18/ West Coast
6) Pierce Sec / 19/ Bishan

A bit risky. There is no guarantee that the COP will not change from 19 to 17 this year. Better to be conservative for 5th and 6th choice.

All the best.

Can I ask if my boy scored 11 and chung cheng main cop is 11M, its a wasted choice?

Want to place
1. Maris Stella cop 12
2. Chung cheng Main 11M
3. Zhonghua sec 13
4. Kuo Chuan Pres

And I don't know what to do with the other choices, would appreciate input, thank u so much!

It is not a wasted choice if it is a school that he wants/likes. Who knows, the COP may change from 11M to 12X this year.

All the best.

Hi

My Boy scored AL13 , HTL ( Higher Tamil = Merit ) and he can choose 3rd Language selection either Malay/Chinese /Indonesia.
I am not able to choose secondary school. Can you please advise , what is the best school for my son.
I was thinking, he will to go to VS - O level by scoring AL10 at least. But now he got only AL13…
and it seems to be very difficult.

My Order :
1. Victoria School - O level (COB : AL9)
2. Kuo Chuan Presbyterian Secondary School (COB: AL12)
3. Temasek Secondary (COP : AL13)
4. Tanjong Katong Secondary School (COB: AL14)
5. Bowen Sec Sch (COB: AL16)
6. Dunman Sec Sch (COB: AL14)

Currently staying in Ang Mo Kio (rental) and work is at Bedok…

Kindly help to advise my choice is correct. Or Do you have any better O-level school. ( His elder brother is VS -IP sec3) …

Please help to advise…

Thanks you so much parents…

Thanks & Regards
Shan

Hi,

DD has AL16. I’m not sure if I Jurong Sec will be a wasted choice as DD AL is 1 point more than their COP. Will I have better chance for Hua Yi if I put as first choice?

Jurong Sec (COP 15)
Hua Yi (COP 16)
West Spring (COP 17) - but further
Yuan Ching (COP 19)
Jurong West (COP 18)
Juying (COP 21)

Another question which I’m curious is, if a student with AL10 choose JSS as second choice and another one with AL12 choose JSS as first choice, who will be considered first?

Does anyone know if there was ballloting out of first choice in River Valley High and Nanhua last year?


Is it rather risky to put RVHS as 1st choice if we only have a 10(P)?

AL10 all the time - all those tie-breakers only apply to students with same AL.

Academic merit (PSLE AL Score) comes first. So yes.

I am a bit confused with the school ranking now. If school has filled up the vacancy for the students listed as top 3 choices, then those students selected as 4, 5,6 will not be able to go in even with a much higher AL results. Am I right ? Thanks in advance for the reply.

Then which one the school with select AL 10 2nd choice or AL 12 as first choice ?

Child achieved AL17 and living in the west.

Dream school was Hua Yi COP16.

Choices now as follows BUT in no order yet
Boon Lay Secondary School COP 22
Bukit View Secondary School COP 19
Hillgrove Secondary School COP 19
Jurong West Secondary School COP 18
Jurongville Secondary School COP 20
West Spring Secondary School COP 17
Westwood Secondary School COP 22
Yuan Ching Secondary COP 19

Highly likely 1st choice is West Spring then 2nd choice is Jurongville.

Location and cca is equally important for child.

Question 1 - should we even consider including hua yi? Based on some suggestions to consider for variance ± 1-2points.

Question 2 - any comments on the lists of school? How would you suggest the order?

Many thanks in advance!!
