Hello


I just came across this forum today. Thank you for keeping this forum and provide valuable inputs.


My daughter who scored 257 and she is from non affiliated school from Jurong)

I would like to enroll in Secondary school. I live in the West (Jurong west extension).

I am totally confused on selecting secondary school. I was thinking Methodist Girls secondary school. Some suggested Crescent Girls school. One of my relatives suggested Raffles Girls school. I am bit confused.

Please provide your inputs I appreciate.

Thanks

257 can easily get in to RVHS for IP, u may want to consider as it is nearer to your home

Thank you Noob. I thought RVHS but my husband prefers to go to Girl's only school.

I don't think your chances of getting into RGS is good as COP last year was 260. MGS is a good school and with your aggregate you can consider joining their Sophia Blackmore programme which is a school-based gifted education programme. Furthermore, you'll enjoy bonus points for entry into ACJC.

Thank you jtoh. In RGS 2008 COP was 263. In 2009 it came down to 260.
How did overall Score in Singapore this year?
Another main concern I have is, RGS most students will be high score (270 etc). My daughter is at the lower end so in school she may be pressed hard and compete with high achievers. This is one of my concern.
Any advise?

Thanks

Thanks[/quote]Hi nancy,

My guess is that COP for RGS this year will be around 259/260. I don't think it'll go lower than that but there's no harm in your dd trying out for it.

It is true that RGS has a lot of high achievers and girls scoring >270. How your dd copes depends on her character. I have seen girls come in at the lower end of the COP and rise to the occasion, doing reasonably well in their exams. I have also seen girls who come in with mid-270 who perform dismally at the exams.

So if your dd is confident, a go-getter and isn't hung up about comparing herself to others, then she can give RGS a shot. She should put MGS as 2nd choice because of the reasons I mentioned earlier. She should be able to get into MGS, no problem.

normally COP for affiliated primary school tends to be lower. so when you say COP of 225, is it for affiliated or non-affiliated primary schools?

if your ds's score is 200, then i think you should not consider those with cop >205. Although COP may drop, but I doubt it will drop so much.

My advise is to make your 6 choices very carefully as you will be posted to any other school by MOE in the event that all 6 choices don't meet.
