The remaining 10% of the students probably made their choices without any parental assistance nor consultation with KSP forum. (!!) Likely, they had put all the 6 choices, either above or equals to the T-scores / AL scores they had achieved. And got balloted out of the 6th choice.
…..
“At the 2021 S1 Posting Exercise, the overall proportion of students who underwent computerised balloting was around 1 in 10, and the proportion of students who were posted to one of their six school choices remains at above 90%. These figures are consistent with past years.”
Could you explain what happened to the remaining 10% students whom didn’t get their 6 choices at all and get balloted to any vacant schools anywhere in the island….
(for ex, AL7 got Whitley ;no offense to the school) what went wrong? How to avoid this?
10% is quite big margin, big enough to make a foreign mom like myself not be able to sleep,
since preparing for AEIS then entered SG (unpopular) primary school without affiliation
until now
it sounds like a nightmare :nailbite: :frustrated:
To avoid such a situation of not getting any of the 6 choices, use your 5th and 6th choice as safety nets, by choosing schools that are at least AL+3 / AL +5. (Fluctuations are higher when AL score is more.)
All the best. -

Academic merit comes first
Then which one the school with select AL 10 2nd choice or AL 12 as first choice ?[/quote]
Someone explained like this:
Your kids' results are QUEUE tickets.
The best AL4 kids will get the honour to choose first whatever schools they choose on 1st option
Follows by AL5 kids, AL6 kids and so on
If SAP schools the order will be AL6(D), AL6(M), AL6(P), AL6 then AL7(D), AL7(M), AL7(P) and so on
If there are limited seats for plenty of AL6 kids in one school, let's say RI, tie-breakers will be applied in the following sequence:
Citizenship
Singapore citizens SCs will be sorted first, followed by Permanent Residents PRs, and Foreigners will be the last
So it can be said PRs and foreigners with AL6 may not have a chance.
Next sequence will be \"Order of school choice\"
AL6 kids - SC - chose RI as 1st choice will get priority than who chose it as 2nd choice
Last sequence will be \"Computerised balloting\"
Let say there are still limited seats for plenty of AL6 kids - SC - chose RI as 1st choice, then Computerised balloting will be conducted.
So yes, AL10 kid put as 6th choice will get priority than AL12 kid put as 1st choice
In SAP school, AL9 kid without HCL put as last choice will come first than AL10(D) kid put as 1st choice -

Based on last year COP, balloting at AL6. You stand a better chance as you’re a Singaporean. All the best! -

Lucky I’m here 🥹🥹🥹
Sorry may I know what does it mean balloted out on 1st choice and why? And where do these students go? (Usually super top schools like top 10?) thanks a lot -

I heard that rumour too last year,BUT whatever calculation I made, it didn't make sense.
Let say a girl with AL7 w/o HCL made this order
1. RGS AL6
2. NYGH AL7(D)
3. SNGS IP AL7(P)
4. MGS IB AL7
5. NJC AL7
6. DHS AL8(D)
The girl would have been posted to DHS
The most possible scenario could be if a girl with AL8(D) chose the above scenario. As she put DHS as last order and DHS might have already closed door for kids with AL8(D) who put as 2nd choice
After Sec1-posting results was received, she could appeal DHS as she had the same AL as its COP
BUT DHS might decline her as she put as 6th choice. It might be only kids chose as 2nd & 3rd only who got the chance for appeal
Choose the option wisely, gamble 1 school with -1AL from your kid result is okay but make sure put at least 1school with +2 or +3AL.
Only 1 school +1AL as a safety net is not enough, as COP can change and your kid may not get any school of his/her choices. -

Wow this is easier to digest thank you so much

What happened with this scenario:
Foreigner AL8 with no HCL (eligibility HTML) going to SAP school O lvl (within 1km from home) with COP 4(M)-9(M) put as 1st choice chance? -
If I may, analogy of the selection process:
On the 1st selection day, only AL4 students can come out of their house. At 9am, only singaporean will report to their 1st choice school. They will stand outside the school gates. Each school will check whether its has enough space to let in all Singaporean at its gate. Any schools that has enough space, it will let in all Singaporean at its gate. Those schools that do not have enough space to let in all Singaporean at its gate, all Singaporean at its gate will ballot, to get in. Those student that are still left standing outside the gates after balloting will report to their 2nd choice school.
They will stand outside the gates again. Each school will again check whether it has enough space to let in all Singaporean at its gate. If have , all Singaporean will get in. Those schools don’t not have enough space to let in all Singaporean at its gate, all Singaporean at its gate will ballot to get in. Those students still left outside the school after balloting, will report to their 3rd choice school. The same letting in process repeat again. Until all Singaporean enter a school.
In the afternoon, only AL 4 PR student will report to their 1st choice school. And go through same letting in process as the Singaporean in the morning session. Until all PR students enter a school.
At night , only AL 4 foreigner students will go report to their 1st choice school. And go through the same letting in process as the Singaporean and PR students. Until all foreigner students enter a school.
Come the next day. Only AL5 students will come out of their house. At 9am, only AL 5 Singaporean report to their 1st school. And go through same process as the Singaporean in previous day.
In the afternoon, only AL 5 PR students will come out and report to their 1st choice schools. And go through the same process as the PR in the previous day.
At night only AL 5 foreigner students will come out of their house and report to their 1 choice school. And go through same process as the foreigner in the previous day.
On next day, same process for all students in AL 6 group. And next day , for all students in AL 7 groups. Repeat daily until all students get into a school. -

m3i_m3i explained it very well! It could also be a foreigner who made these similar choices and was balloted out on the 6th choice. These kids end up going to any school that the computerized system allocate them.

The question is how many SC students scores 4-7 and put our dream schools as their 1st choices 🫣🫣🫣

Those schools that do not have enough space to let in all Singaporean at its gate, all Singaporean at its gate will ballot, to get in. Those student that are left standing outside the gates , will report to their 2nd choice school.
They will stand outside the gates again. Each school will again check whether it has enough space to let in all Singaporean at its gate. If have , all Singaporean will get in. Those schools don’t not have enough space to let in all Singaporean at its gate, all Singaporean at its gate will ballot to get in.

On next day, same process for all students in AL 6 group. And next day , for all students in AL 7 groups. Repeat daily until all students get into a school.
