Hmm? We have been using percentages for so long that I've forgotten when we used numbers, if we ever did. The numbers for the current Phase are given on MOE's site, so we see no point in repeating them in KiasuParents.com. What we want to show in KiasuParents.com is the average historical trends of schools, and the deviation of the current P1 registration exercise from the schools' historical trend. In our opinion, that is probably the best gauge parents can have based on public info.

In any case, it should be quite easy for you to translate the cumulative TUR into the actual numbers simply by multiplying the TUR with the total number of vacancies.

Try Maha Bohdi or Geylang Methodhist is they are within 1km of you. If you stay more towards the south, go for Tao Nan or Ngee Ann.
