Hi my DD got 249+3, is she able to get into RV? If not what are the chances of her getting in via appeal?



Is difficult to guage yr chances thru appeal. However, place RV as yr top choice pending appeal and Nan Hua as nxt choice. Nothing to lose.

But Nanhua's COP is 243 and rather low, wont it be better if she chose MGS/SCGS as a better choice? Pls advise thank you :)[/quote]It depends on where u stay, that's my personal benchmark. All these schs RV, MGS, SCGS and NH prepare their students well for the all impt A-level exam.

Personally, cop should not be used as a primary benchmark in yr selection.

It is not gender dependent. It is based on the type of schools you want to choose in secondary. If you want to opt for a SAP school, then you can add the points to T-score to better the score for SAP school entry.
+3 points - Distinction
+2 points - Merit
+1 point - Pass

What is score of each grade? 85/75/60?

Distinction (+3) : 80-100
Merit (+2) : 65-79
Pass (+1) : 50-64
Ungraded: <50

Place RV as yr top choice follow by SCGS as no 2 if she is prepared to travel and NH as her third choice. U need to prepare her appeals to both RV and SCGS. Explain to the latter that RV has been placed as top due to its proximity to yr hse.

Hi Edureach,

Pls check if 259+3 put NYGH for my DD 1st choice, RGS 2nd choice, NJC 3rd choice, ok or not? any advice, thanks!

Yr top choice is correct. Move up NJC as 2nd choice and drop RGS as u are merely wasting yr shot. My assessment is that yr dd's chance of getting in to NYGH is 70%. She will never go below NJC. No worries.

Thanks for your reply! If my DD put Raffles as her first choice, will she stand a lower chance to get in compared to NYGH? I live in AMK. What about Dunman High? Is it okay to put it as the third choice? :please: By the way, what's Cedar Girls' COP for IP? Is it okay to put it as the fourth choice? :thankyou: for your patience!
