Thank you yongjianrong ! thanks once again for this..


ACS(I) cut-off is 251 which worries me. that is 5 points higher..

how much RV would be for this year ..? Confused..confused.. :?:

Hmm, last year RV COP was 251 too. RV is one of the preferred secondary schools in my class.

Just a side note, RV only offers Chinese and Higher Mother Tongue is compulsory.

On the other hand, ACS offers Chinese/Malay/Tamil.

Hi


What if my child was not offer to take higher chinese, can he still apply Nan Hua?

He can apply for nan hua provided he meet the COP, there are students who do not take HCL in nan hua.

girl. So HCI would be out of the question. Am wondering which others besides NJC since am hoping to get into IP program.

If you are only targetting IP schools and are restricting to schools in that area, then I am afraid your choices are very limited, but if you are willing to travel a bit, you might want to consider Dunman High and River Valley High with you score. Both are SAP schools and you can make use of your HMT points.

On the other hand, if you are open to good schools in the area, you can try MGS or SCGS. Both are good schools and you would have no problem entering either of them with your score.

Another consideration if you are willing to travel a bit, is to consider Cedar since they are one of the 7 new IP schools in the future, though of course, you are not affected when you enter next year.

Hope that helps.

THKS ! Much appreciated. Am already DSA-ed into MGS, just hoping for a shot at IP.[/quote]If you're DSA'd into MGS, I assume you're in the Sophia Blackmore class? Although it's not DSA, SBC will stand you in good stead if you intend to do IB at ACSI.

Anybody who is current or old students or have a daughter or friends from Singapore Chinese Girls or Cedar girls, can you give me more information regarding these 2 schools? Be it positive or negative views. Cos open house is always full of good views but never the negative sides. Just want to look at these 2 schools from a more objective perspectives. Thanks

[quote=\"candycan\"]I'm very disappointed with my results.


I got 230 + 2 (HCL)...can I put the choices as below:

1. Nan Hua (COP 09:242)
2. Commonwealth (COP 09: 236)
3. Swiss Cottage (COP 09: 234)
4. Clementi Town (COP 09: 230)
5. Fuhua (COP 09: 229)
6. Kranji (COP 09: 229)

or should i give up Nan Hua and put COmmonwealth as my first choice and my last choice be Jurong (COP 226)

thanks in advance.

Don't be disappointed. 230 is not a bad result.

My advice is to give up Nan Hua. The COP is too far and beyond reach. And your current last two choices do not give you enough safety net. So it will be good to put Jurong as your last choice.

Thanks for the advice. After consulting my form teacher, i've decided to drop Nan Hua. My teacher actually told me that COP may increase cos the papers were easy. If that's the case, should i put in Jurong (5th choice: COP 226) and Bukit Batok Sec (6th choice: COP 221) instead? Then take out either Fuhua or Kranji??

Any other schools in the West that i can select? Also If i'm willing to travel, can i put Chung Cheng High (Yishun)?

I'm so confused now.....If you are me, what will your 6 choices be? Thanks all in advance![/quote]Chung Cheng High (Yishun) is also a good choice if you don't mind to travel.

DS has a few friends who are appealing to go RI even though they have secured a place at other IP sch via DSA. Their t-score is 260+.

I feel there might be more boys out there with other DSA offer now appealing to go RI.
I wonder how does this affect the available vacancies for S1 posting?
If these boys are successful in their appeal & transfer to RI, would the number of vacancies at RI be reduced for S1 posting? If so, does this mean that those with t-score that just meet COP or 2 points below COP might be at risk if they plan to put RI as their 1st choice for S1 posting?

Hi Cascada,

Thank you very much for your inputs. It is true that RI is a sought-after school and competition will be stiff. But this year the PSLE cohort size has shrunk to about 45,000+ while the number of seats available in RI (or in other schools) has not shrunk.

That is why my son's teacher says that the CoP of RI is most likely to fall by 2 marks (from 259 last year to 257). So in her view, there is not much risk in putting RI as first choice for scores of 258 or 257.

For those who are comtemplating btwn NYGH vs RGS, or HCI vs RI, pls keep a few things in mind: 1.distance (you dont want to choose a schl too far away) 2. siblings (but this only applies to some cases) 3. culture/environment (chinese - based vs chinese - based) 4. CCAs (its best to choose a school that offers a CCA that is suitable for your child) 5. the JCs (RJC vs HJC) 6. if your child can cope (one psle top scorer was a mainstreamer and achieved gd results so he went to RI, but as he cannot cope with the fast paced curriculum there, he dropped out after 10 mths) thats all for now. in terms of academics, the schls are all roughly the same, but there are always other impt factors
