[quote=\"ttlkbs\"]25hourMaid, with same T-score (235), is TKSS as 1st choice wise? Thx.

I have friends whose kids are at TKSS and they are happy there. Also there are some very good feedback in the TKSS thread in this forum. You might want to go and read some of the comments there.

Thank-you so much for your reply. I called TKSS on open hse but the reply was there isn't any! Anyway, in order not to hv too many grey hairs overnight, i think will hv TKSS as 1st choice & Temasek as 2nd.[/quote]My son score 230, can I try TKSS(234) as first choice also?

[quote=\"ttlkbs\"]Hi, juz went to look at the forum on TKSS & feel so relief! OK, set for TKSS & hope their COP do not go up too many points.

That's the beauty about this Forum. Useful info and advice at every corner! Someone calls it a BIG FOREST, just have to know which TREE to climb for the right info! :celebrate: :lovesite:

25hourmaid, oh dear, DS is so flicker minded! One moment said wanted to try for CCHM but gave up after realized is a SAP as he's pretty weak in Chinese. Then after lunch, said afraid it may be too competitive in TKSS and is now thinking of Temasek as 1st choice! :stupid:
Need another piece of advice from you again, can i agree with him? :?:[/quote]Sorry for the late reply. Been busy.

Haha, your son flicker, but my advice is to go with his thoughts. Don' forget that he is going to be the one to spend his next 4 years in the school. I forgot what was his score, read too many threads and have answered too many questions, so pardon me. :oops:

Yes, some people are put off by SAPs schools especially if they do not like Chinese to begin with, :lol: so I really don't blame him for chickening out at the last minute.

TKSS - Thought it was within his reach, so why is he feeling stressed out now? Did you visit the schools today? What's his feel? My advice is to go with his gut feelings, let him have a say. What is important is that he must feel comfortable wherever he is going to.

Mad-Eye Moody:

I was calculating my DS's ranking in Singapore... Just to confirm that Top 10% of the cohort are being offered 3rd category in the third Language or are they offered third language?

:udaman:

Dear Mad-Eye Moody

While all of us are proud of our kids' performance, results, etc, I would suggest that you do not show your support by inserting hundreds and thousands of :udaman: in the forum.

Thank you.

On Cedar and SCGS


Academically, they are both on par. Perhaps, one should decide base on ccas, distance and school fees. In the area on academic, Cedar has maintained its consistency thru many years . Generally, its girls are well-behaved, intelligent and hard working. My son takes notice of these positive traits(JC). School is pretty strong in atheletics.

SCGS seems to have brighten up lately base on their last yr O-LEVEL results. Is amongst the tops nationwide in english, literature and maths. Generally the girls hve a high command of english. Due to their exposure to different styles of writing, its girls hve performed well both in A-level and IB. Its niche ccas are dance, squash and gymnastic.

So btw these two schools, is a very close call.

If yr dd likes SCGS, can place the school as top choice and prepares her for appeal. Make sure yr second choice is marginally below her T-score.

wheee grats, I had 251 at first but 256 after appeal. Being sick sucks )';<


And just realised BPJ - BNL takes at least 30 mins :stupid:

Hi Snowman.697!

OMG, I had fever for the science paper too! It has quite high- 38.7
Should I go appeal too? Just call up MOE right?
But the thing is, I lost my MC! Can I tell MOE to call up my school and talk to my vice-principle? (who witness me taking my temperature and showing that it was 38.7) And would they just add 5 marks or see your past exam marks?

I would really, really appreciate it if you could answer my questions~! ^^

my girl does ballet grade 5 and squash , but her t score 247 , cop for scgs is 251, risky to put as 1st choice and appeal?

In yr case you can try and place Cresent Girls as second choice.

Go to SCGS’ office and register yr dd’s interest. Yr case is special as yr dd has strong dance foundation and plays squash-traits that SCGS is looking for. Anw, Crecent is aslo pretty good.
