DD surprised us with AL4 and HCL Merit.

With that score she can go for RGS, Nanyang, MGS.

May I have ask which will you choose? I am noob at this. Daughter said RGS environment is very toixc. Nanyang CL is extremely tough. So the next best thing is MGS.

We did attended the open houses. Frankly speaking I was impressed with the physical schools of RGS and Nanyang.

Congrats! Based on feedback from other parents and some of my daughter’s classmates who have been in each school, I think RGS is a competitive environment where everyone is striving to study harder and do well while Nanyang is slightly more relaxed and the ties with HCI are quite strong. However MGS IB will allow your DS to spend 2 years in ACS(I) which could be beneficial and has the most interaction with opposite genders. However there is minimal interaction during the first 4 years while Nanyang and HCI regularly organise sports meets and other events together. Overall I would pick MGS IB as I really like the curriculum becoz it equips these youths better for real world situations and increased interaction with classmates as there are many group projects

Every year, we see parents and students choosing MGS IB, maybe the ministry could look into providing more vacancies for this option?

Hi,


Does anyone know about the cut-off for MGS for 2022 and 2021? Does it ever touches to 7?

Thanks a lot.

Hi, i would like to check if the PSLE score don’t meet the score require for the school that kids prefer. Can we still put as first choice and second choice. Then the third choice will be the school that match with the psle marks? If anyone can guide me and advise me ? Thank you.

[gis]

if you put the school they prefer they may get in because the cut-off may change

like for example in 2021 TJC cut-off was 8(M) but in 2022 it increased to 9(M)
so you still have a chance

good day!


my kid got the PSLE total score of 9.
Math 1
Sci 2
Eng 2
Chi 4

we thinking to apply following options at the north east area:
1. Nan Chiau High School
2. Edgefield Sec School
3. Yusof Ishak Secondary School

the kid likes to play chess… but actually spending most of his time on phone, seems no stress at all even before PSLE exams. sigh

Qs:
what are the chances of getting into Nan Chiau?
any other suitable schools could recommend?

thanks much
