That neighbor that I talked about also wants to choos RVH like me. Her T-score like I said is only 247 including HCL. We stay around the east side. She and I don’t mind the journey. May I ask what are her chances of getting into that school. Btw I got 253 and I think I stand a chance of getting into RVH unless I’m wrong.

[quote=\"Proudparentof2\"]Dear All, kindly ask for your advise please for my dd who scored 223. We live in Mount Faber she is from River Valley PS. Our choices so far is:


1. Chu Cheng Main (cop 208-231)
2. Gan Eng Seng (222-239)
3. Peirce (208-231)

Hoping to get Gan Eng Seng but try to strecth it to get Chu Cheng due to dd would like to go to JC. Is it wise?

Hi, may I clarify? Chu Cheng Main = Chung Cheng High main?
cop 208?

She refers to Chung Cheng High Yishun. COP for the past 4 years were:
2010: 230, 2009: 230, 2008: 231, 2007: 234.

Proudparentof2, if your dd would like to go to JC, wouldn't she stand a better chance at Gan Eng Seng (achieved band 5 in 2010) than Chung Cheng Yishun (achieved band 6 in 2010)?
In fact, CCHY seems to be over-rated, academically.[/quote]Thank you so much for enlightening us. It is very very much appreciated.

You can consider Beatty sec sch, walking distance from Braddell Stn.
They have been very consistent in getting the value-add awards and the banding for 2010 'O' level is 6, one of the best schools to consider for good academic performance.
Good luck in your choices!

Thank you so much for the suggestion, look it up already - there is no international dance for cca. Sigh...

Any advise on putting Chung Cheng as 1st choice?

There is no harm putting Chung Cheng as 1st choice but realistically,
the chance of getting posted to Chung Cheng is low, considering that their COP was even higher in the past years.

I would say your next choices Gan Eng Seng and Mayflower are good choices as both these are value-added schools (whereas Chung Cheng is not!). With your daughter's COP, her chances are very high indeed.[/quote]Thank you kindly for the input. It is much appreciated. May I know what do you mean by value added?

Hi. My daughter has got an agg of 216. She wants to apply for Pasir Ris Crest Secondary School which has an cut off point of 220. Is it a good choice to put? We live in Pasir Ris. Are there any Other good schools in the east as well as hougang sengkang marine parade. Is peya lebar methodist girls a good school for me to choose? It is stated in the book that none were posted from non-affliation last yr. Please help. I need help in choosing sec schools for my daughter.

Kiasuparent1123,


Re Paya Lebar Methodist Girls - My friend just happens to mention to me that her dd now in PLMG Pri will be sitting for PSLE in 2012 and that year will be the year that they would set a score to admit those who are affiliated. So next year’s batch would be the last for PLMG to admit their own. Meanwhile, it shows none posted 'cos all primary school PLMG pupils move up to the secondary school. So no vacancy for non-affiliation. Hope I got that right… Perhaps a PLMG parent can verify. Perhaps it might be good to drop by the school to ask…

Your argument is beginning to sound like a joke.

How many president scholars are there in a year ?

You can count on your figures, It is an average of only 5 a year.

So you are basing that to say \"many\" people from Ri/RGS goes to HCJC ?

Do you realise how ridiculous your claims are ?

I think you don't understand the point. There are 50 president scholars from HCJC over the years. Only around 5 were from TCHS and NYGS school combined. How do you account for the other nearly 3-4 dozens?

My answer is that many were from RGS (maybe not RI)

And I also want to correct your view that 90% of RI and RGS proceed on to RJC. It is simply not true in the older days when the cutoff point of RJC was 7-8 (that is very good score in older days) and the average L1B5 of RI and RGS was 8 or 9. Many simply can't make the score for entry into RJC. Moreover, some that make the score prefer schools like HCJC, NJC or VJC. The size of each cohort of JC in those days were 700-800, not the over 1000 nowaday. RJC and HCJC in those days were really not as monolithic in its student intake as you think.

I really don't want to split hair over scores or number of scholars etc...I don't keep statistics but a simple google gave me this site which shows that HCJC was top in at least 2003 and 2004. But you may complain why based on number of 4 distictions, why not other measures?

http://www.physics.com.sg/jcranking.htm

I am not trying to split hairs here..but I am just trying to correct the impression you are trying to create that MANY students from the Raffles schools goes to HCJC.

If you were honest enough to admit that was a mistake on your part, I would have stop there. but instead you choose to go on and cite other examples which i have clearly refuted.

Now , you are again changing your stand that there are 50 President scholars from HCJC over the years.

My question is then...50 scholars over a duration of HCJC existence, maybe 30 years(?) gives an average of only 1.7 scholar/yr

So that was your 'many\" ? miserable 1.7?


Again you are wrong about many RI/RGS students cannot make it to RJC..RI?RGS students are the cream...if they cannot make it to RJC, who else can ?? and please do not forget.all RI/RGS students also have a extra 2 points whcih gives them an great advantage[/quote]It is not my intention to create an impression that there is a mass migration from the Raffles' schools to HCJC. I just felt that it is worth mentioning that some of the best students from RGS had chosen HCJC in the past. My intention isn't to put down RJC. It is just a casual observation of the visible presence of RGS students in HCJC in the past. There is no statistics to support what is \"many\". If I amend \"many\" to \"some\", is it alright for you?

Again here, I am not trying to say that RI/RGS students isn't the cream. However being the cream, doesn't mean that the entire cohort will make it to RJC. Is it very hard to believe that, say for example, 30% can't make it? I have googled the O level results of the various schools in 1995 for example:

http://www.moe.gov.sg/media/press/1995/pr01895.htm

The mean L1R5 of RGS was RI was 8.8 and 8.9 respectively but the cutoff of RJC, then, was 6. Since mean L1R5 was 8.8-8.9, it is not hard to see that there substantial students with score above 9. Even with the 2 points bonus, they will not make it to RJC. As for your question about who can make it. I'll say that RI/RGS students are not the only schools that can score 6 points. There are pockets of students with 6 points in other less known schools. Maybe in RJC, a few students from each of the other schools to make up the rest of the student population. RI/RGS only make up 2/3. No?

The same reasoning goes to HCJC too.
