Hi there..I'm new here but I hope you all can help. My son scored 226 for his psle. What schools would you recommend? We're staying near the east coast. Would really appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks.

Hello :rahrah:
Maybe St.Patrick? :imcool:

Was thinking of that too. But really knows nothing about that school. Anyone has any info on St.Patrick?

Anyone knows why not the full range of 3rd lang is offered to some pupils? My ds has only, Msp, Arabic and Indonesian under the choices offered. None from the 03 category.

Bc the child is not within Top 10%. Only students who are within Top 10% are offered the full range of 3rd Lang.

Not too sure, I thought 3rd lang option depends on your language results only, and not science and math?

But my mum after reading all the kiasuparents buying uniform, then she also want to buy..

You should be able to get into RGS with your score. If you're that concerned, give Bibi & Baba a call regarding their exchange policy before buying.

The rest of the students are all eligible for the other 3rd Lang like Malay, Chinese (for non-malay), Arabic, Indonesian.

1st-NJC/RGS
2nd-Cedar IP
3rd-cedar o level
4th- SCGS
5th- st.nicks
6th- ??
IM REALLY NOT SURE. PLS HELP THIS POOR GURL HERE!!! (desperate O.O)

Your results are good. If you want you can try placing RGS or NYGH as your first choice if you really want to go to these schools. Chances are you might not get RGS or NYGH though. Based on past COPs, you should be able to get into NJC. Other alternatives for you to consider are DHS if you don't mind a SAP school. And MGS because they'll be opening up the IB programme for top Year 3s in 2013 (your batch). So depending on which you prefer, place Cedar or NJC as your third choice, and the rest according to your preference.
