Hi all,


I am new to this forum but found it stunningly informative, especially with awesome contributors like 25hourmaid.

For a boy living in west with PSLE aggregate of 258, what school choices would you suggest? He is non-chinese. So no SAP schools please.

Thank you very much.

If he want IP, then it is ACSI or SJI. I think he can even try RI. NJC too

What do you think of following choice for 260 +2


1) RGS
2) NJC
3) St Nicholas
4) Cedar
5) Crescent
6) CHIJ TP

do u think the chances of RGS is very slim? Definitely prefer my Dd to go to a girls school but she wants to try the IP.

What about Nanyang Girls' High School [IP]?

262 is above COP for RGS. I'm sure she'll be accepted for RGS. Congrats :celebrate:

Getting into RI with 266 - shouldn't be a problem. I think.

Being a student myself, i feel that he should not limit yourself to schools in one zone of the country as there are many other areas and schools which this boy could qualify for.
The elite schools in that area include the SAP school river valley(not an option) and a school for girls, MGS(also unthinkable)
I think it would be best for this boy to go to other schools in other areas of the country. (Just as long as it's not extremely far)
I would try ACS independent. It is not a SAP school. It is quite far though so you might want to consider other equally good schools instead

You can consider Commonwealth Secondary Sch. A friend's daughter is studying there and she is always singing praises about the sch. You can also try NUS high but a bit risky.

My friend's son scored 232 living at Bukit timah area. She headache where to choose. His son learning lab teacher ask him to try SJI


1. SJI 241
2. Maris Stellar 232
3. CTSS 230

then clueless what to put for the last 3

Can help?

Hi
I cannot believe the learning lab teacher actually asked your friend's son to try SJI at 232 (knowing well that the cut off is 241 last year). Even with affiliation, the COP for SJI last year was 238 ! So, this is as good as \"throwing the first choice away\".

I would advise your friend's son to switch Maris Stella to first choice instead & forget SJI.
This does not guarantee a confirm slot in MS unless COP this year is still 232 or less for MS. If so, your friend's son stands a \"higher chance\" than others with the same score assuming the other candidates with 232 had put MS as second choice (ie for putting MS as 1st choice, he has comparative advantage over others with same score but had put MS as 2nd choice )

Just came back from TKSS with my son.


Quite like the school but a bit too far. Is it a waste if I apply TKSS as 1st choice? Moreover, my son is not good in CCA.

As for Hai Sing, I'm afraid that the students there will be a bad influence to my son as the newspaper has reported many cases about them.

Thank you 25hourmaids & Augmum so much for the useful advice from both of you.

Sall,


What is your girl t-score?

ahque:

need some good advices.


my ds had fever during psle, with special consideration of 4 points, he has 232. goin to appeal for sst as he didnt manage to clear e 2nd around. now, we are struggling as to which schools to choose. seems like too risky to put sji as 1st choice, but we can only appeal if we put sji as 1st choice rite? our choices :-

1st choice - sji
2nd choice - maris stella / nan chiau
3rd choice - clementi town
4th choice - ?
5th choice - ?
6th choice - ?

we are staying at bt timah.

Hi ahque
You seem to be in the same situation as Parentof3's friend. (or are you the friend he/she is talking about)?

My advice for your son is to forget SJI.
232 is 9 points away from last year's COP for SJI (241). Even with affiliation, SJI's COP last year was 238. Don't waste your 1st choice in this manner.

Your son can consider MS as his 1st choice instead since his Tscore meets last year COP for MS. This would be a more realistic approach. Hope this helps.

PS: Besides MS, there's also St Andrew's (233). In fact, St Andrew's would be a better choice than SJI (241). Do consider.

3) Nan Chiau High
4) Tanjong Katong Sec
5) Ngee Ann Sec
6) Dunman Sec

Dear all parents and friends, your advice is much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
