Oh, now i m totally confused. DS's T-score is 235, thot of TKSS as 1st choice, but after reading above, shld i chg to Temasek as 1st choice? :?

Is depends on you and your DS. My son score is 235 (1A* and 3A) as well but I would still want him to go to (tentatively):

1st Choice: Maris Stella
2nd Choice: Chung Cheng High (Main)
3rd Choice: Tanjong Katong Sec Sch
4th Choice: St. Andrew
5th & 6th: Not decided

25hourMaid - Is my choice OK?

Mine also 1A* & 3A. Form teacher strongly recommended TKSS. He doesn't like SAP school, so rule out CCHM.

I notice that there is an obvious trend of choosing schools based on a cold hard number like "COP". And you see dialogue like those below.


A: My child has a t-score of xxx. Should I choose school A or school B or C? My child prefer school B

B: Well…according to your child t-score, he is well eligible for school A which has a 2 points higher COP than school B, Why don’t he choose school A instead?

But really, don’t you think this is really hair-splitting the t-score, 2 points is very small. School is not just represented by their COP. There are many intangible factors that can affect your experience and growth there.

For example, do you know that HCI celebrates mooncake festival every year. It is a big event organised by students themselves. On the day, all students will stay back late into midnight and the entire school campus will be romantically lit up and decorated with light bulbs and campfire. You can’t measure this kind of unforgetable experience. School life is not just about study and academic result. I suspect that is why before the implementation of IP, many RI and RGS students have chosen HCJC over RJC.

[quote=\"loler12\"]I have been seeing alot of people who have gotten 247 to 249, added with +2 or + 3 HCL to get a score around 248 ~ 252

Last year, my boy score 247 + 2, and tried to appeal to RV, however failed.
if im not wrong for that year ( 2009 ) , the COP was 251. so despite a mere 2 marks below the COP, he was still rejected.

My dd classmate had 248 +2 got in after appeal last year.

I am shocked to hear that. Oh well, that's too bad. I have another friend of mine who's daughter score 248 + 2 and tried appealing into RV, but got rejected too. I wonder why ?[/quote]Probably she was one of the lucky one then.

Aiya...most parents are beyond that as they must have done their homework before PSLE. Do they wait until now if they visit KSP?

So now for many it is a case of matching their scores to COP now and see whether they can get in or not. Only in cases where the T-scores surprise them and have to consider other schools, then all the hygiene factors kick in again.

I live @ Woodlands. I went to see the O' levels result and thought that Xinmin is quite okay but I'm also considering about the distance too.

Woodlands? You know something? Ironically, there is a bus from Woodlands to Hougang, SBS 161, and it passes somewhere near Xinmin, but still, I would say Woodlands to Hougang is a bit far, considering at least 5 times a week (assuming no CCAs on Saturday, which is rather rare for Secondary School) for 4 years .... it is indeed far.
