hi


sorry, what i meant was, NJC does not conduct the HCL lessons in the campus (according to the school booklet) and students have to attend hcl lessons elsewhere. qtn is , where?

thks

Oh yah - 255 for NJC might be tricky. Cannot use the bonus points.

But the HCL is conducted in school itself - nowhere else, bc the school only teaches Higher Mother Tongue (chinese, malay, etc). Even if the child does not qualify to take HMT, it is compulsory in NJC to take HMT. Don't have to go anywhere else to do this subject - it is part of the curriculum. You only have to outside to do 3rd Language.

If both student having the same T score, the school vacancy can only accept one of them.

One student put first choice, the other one put 2nd choice, who will get it?

It's nearly impossible for 2 persons to have the same T-score as MOE calculates the T-score to many decimal places.

Thanks for the speedy reply,

My dd got 256+2
So is it advisable for me to try my luck on
1st choice NANYANG GS
2nd choice RAFFLES GS
3rd choice DUNMAN High
4rd choice NJC
Knowing first 2 choices chances would be slim.
Will I lose out to those put DUNMAN as first choice.
Thanks much much

You will lose out only in terms of results as MOE ranks students in order of merit. The 3rd choice means that only IF your first 2 school choices failed, you may have a chance to get into DHS.

:celebrate: in that case, I shall stick to this 4 choices, either one success would be a blessing to me. Hopefully:) thank you and good night to u.

I think you're taking a risk putting both NY and RGS as your first two choices as your COP is about 4-5 off from last year's COP. My concern is if Dunman's COP and NJC's COPs go up this year, you're not likely to get any of your 4 choices. If I remember correctly, last year's COP for Dunman was 258 and NJC's was 257/258(?). Better to choose either NY or RGS as 1st choice and move Dunman to 2nd choice so that you stand a better chance at Dunman in the event that you don't get your 1st choice.

Just call MOE hotline this morning. Reply is no student will have the same T score becos all T scores are in few decimal point. Therefore u would not lose out in term of choices, only lose out in merit (t score) which is fair.the choice is only your preference.meaning,if u cannot go into Dunman by t score, by putting it first choice, u won’t go in either.

Actually, I don't really \"agree with MOE\" that no 2 students will have the same T-score. If both score exactly the same marks for all subjects, won't they end up with exactly the same T-score ? Maybe there is a remote chance, but surely, it's not impossible.
