Yes, I realize its VERY risky too and am in deep dilemma, that's why seeking advice out here! and thanks for confirming that!


PS. I forgot to mention she has Merit in HMT (add 2 pts) if SAP sch

Staying in Serangoon. Chung Cheng is not a problem in terms of traveling (via CC line) --- is this the next best option?

With 2 points for HMT, that would give her 241. Can try Anglican High too. Also a SAP school, so the HMT points would be useful. AHS's COP last year was 240, so I think your girl stands a good chance.

And since you are at Serangoon area, Xinmin can be considered too.

Tell her it is not the end of the world that she's not able to get into her dream school. There are other good schools around.

Just to mention to those parents or existing students that are interested in taking up third language , if you’re going to be in an IP school , it’s not really advisable cos the workload is much heavier than that in primary school and you have to spend almost 4 hours in the MOELC centre once everyweek! And not to forget the homework that would add on to the tonnes of existing work. And when you want to quit it , you really have to survive to the window periods [ maybe that’s only for my school in that case ] and the commitments are huge!

Yep , i know some people are still surviving through third lang although they’re sec 4s but try comparing the number of sec 1 entrances and sec 4s left in the same batch and you would realsie that the drop out rate is SUPER. since the start of sec 1 till now , almost half of my third lang class dropped out ._.

My son was on RI wait list. He score 253 and got rejected. He got a GE status. Now comtemplating whether to stick to GE/IP sch. Shd I try DH and NJC too? RI says can appeal if want to. Should I?

Of course you should appeal to RI. There's no harm right? At the same time, put DHS / NJC as your 1st and 2nd choice schools. Your son should do alright in the GE/IP schools. 253 is a very decent aggregate.

thanks for your encouragement. I think of that too. Cat High is not a IP school. I thought of ACS(I) which within his reach. Any comment on the sch?

Puzzled about the Bonus Point of Higher Chinese for SAP schools: will the 1-3 Bonus Point be added in the score directly or it only works when the candidates' score are same? For example, my aughter got 260+3, will her score be 263 when she apply NYHS? or still 260 but the 3 will be added only when other candidates are also 260? in other words, if there is one 260+3 and one 262, who has the chance?

The HMT can only be used for application to SAP schools, so in your eg, if there is one seat left at NYGH, the one with 260+3 would have priority over the one with 262. Hope that helps.

So for your girl's case, if she wants to apply to NYGH, her T-score is 263, but if she wants to try Cedar, for eg, her T-score is 260.

Choose those schools that can really add value to your kid’s 0-level score. The details can be found in the secondary posting booklet. As for choices if your kid T-score is 242, the cop of first choice should not be higher than 244, second choice should be within your kid’s T-score.

For SAP schools, they will grab 260+ 3 1st, then 263 + 0 , this is their rules.

Thanks for your explanation. It's really useful.

Cedar COP most likely to increase this year (2010: 246) due to the new joint IP with VJC. Chung Cheng Main would be a less risky choice in my opinion.

But most importantly, it depends on where you stay. No point going to a good school that is too far away. Time spent on travelling can be put to better use.

25hourmaid:

Cedar is good but a bit risky considering that their COP was 246 last year and I can forsee a lot of girls would try to get into Cedar considering their soon-to-be IP status.

CCHM is quite safe for a score of 244.

thanks for the advices..

maybe CCHMS is not a bad idea... :love:

My DD got 239 ...am thinking if we should risk putting CEDAR as her first choice? She was really upset and cried so bad this morning as she was so hopeful about making it to CEDAR...


Currently other options under consideration are :
Chung Cheng High Main
Xin Min
Nan Chiau
Presbyterian High

Any advice?????? :?

My preference:
Nan Chiau (solid school leader and the school just got the SAP status) - shd be able to get into Nan Chiau but their COP may increase this year because of the SAP status.
Xin Min (proven track record)
Chung Cheng High (Main) (another good school)
PHS (not too sure but heard some negative feedback in KSP forum)
