2011 P1 Registration Exercise for 2012 In-Take

Castle House:
I do know some will turn up agan tomorrow as I overheard some did not bring in complete documents.. so were asked to come back tomorrow..
Relax! Maybe these people already went back to the school in the afternoon to register again. No worries ok! :hugs: -
For parents worrying about having to ballot in Phase 2A2, relax. That's not going to happen.
Traditionally, the hotter the school, the more likely is the bulk of the people eligible for Phase 2A2 to be registered on the FIRST day. Popular schools like Nanyang Primary will only have between 10-30% more registrants on the 2nd day, with respect to the entire Phase 2A2.
So if you want to predict the total number of registrants for a particular school, just take the first day's number and multiply by 150%. That will give you the upper bound for that school.
Of course, for the less popular schools with 0 registrants on the 1st day, that single registrant on the 2nd day will be 100%
That doesn't count.
So, just relax... -

looking at the fig in Ai Tong, it may happen one day that parents need to ballot at P2A2...can't imagine if AT reduces the enrolment by 1 class in future....sc88:

Gosh! Just checked the vacancies left after 1st day of 2A2 registration...and I'm beginning to panic!!! :nailbite:

I think many parents are playing it safe by registering at Phase 2A and monitoring their chances at 2B and 2C in other schools. We may see an increase in 2A numbers for many schools going ahead, with more parents doing whatever they can to maximize their chances by covering all bases… So while birth rates remain low, it will be even harder getting into the popular schools…
