the wait is agonising, like a fellow member said, every phone call makes me jump, esp those of unfamiliar nos. received a few but they turned out to be banks promoting their credit cards!


would like to know how long do we have to wait before giving up ? i have yet to buy uniforms and books for ds and school is opening next tuesday.... i heard that some appeal results will only be known in january after school reopens. so the kids have to wear primary school uniforms to school? and what about books? how do they follow what the teachers r saying without books to refer to?

will they send emails to inform that our appeals r unsuccessful?

thks

Some successful appeal cases only come through in Jan. There are usually no classes in the first week of school because of orientation activities. So books aren't really necessary. BUT there's no harm in buying books because booklists aren't that different from school to school. I would also buy one set of uniform for your son otherwise he'll feel really awkard during the first week of school while he waits for his appeal status.

Thanks

Appeal cases for RI completed, thus if you have not hear from RI by now, then it is likely unsuccessful…

His DS scored 263 and my DS 262…mainstream…so siong.

Do you have to go through interview or they call you up to inform you?

So both your son and your son's friend didn't get into RI through appeal, even though their scores were 262 and 263? Must have been lots of people appealing.
