Hi Leanne,

Which sch will your DS choose?

I believe so too. It's on MOE website.

Yes both of you are correct. And some senior expert KSPs have worked out that it also translates to roughly top 3% of PSLE cohort.

Oh, is that based on the assumption that top 10% goes to independent sch?

Kid:

Can anyone advise on third languages? Should I choose French or Japanese? Can anyone tell me the pros and cons of learning these two languages? I'm still deciding which language should I learn as I'm totally foreign to these two languages though I know some basic Japanese (not much).

Just choose whichever interests you. You should know the dropout rate is pretty high because of the curriculum and time demands, which is why interest and self-motivation are impt.

Snow crystal, I attended RI open house and the principal had this to say;STUDENTS admitted from non-GEP schools will be placed in separate classes for year 1 &2. ONLY in year 3 will GEP and non-GEP students will be allowed to be mixed according to their results.

[quote=\"chatterbox321\"]Hi, I would to ask, do you know what is the highest COP for RGS in the recent years?

263 - 2009 Sec 1 intake
260 - 2010 Sec 1 intake
260 - 2011 Sec 1 intake

I do not know previous to that, sorry. But there could be others here who might know.

BTW, there are a few people missing this year, esp 25hourmaid. Last year I was a silent reader and remember her advising and guiding a lot of students and parents. Also where are Vanilla_cake, brenda10, lizawa, verykiasu2010... :boogie:

But as I scored 265 excluding hmt, do you think it is a safe score? Based on the ksp threads, 1358 people scored 260 and above for 2011 psle. so do u have any idea wat is the number of vacancies available on average for rgs and nygh? thanks!! :lovesite:[/quote]Not to worry, there are boys and dsa ppl in the 1358 ppl. Rgs takes around 450 students inclusive of dsa n gep so not to worry. I am typing this on my hp. Not a good idea at all took me forever. Not trying it again!

Hi Tinklebelle, congrats first, but I actually missed your post. How did your DD do? She's also going to RGS right? Bought uniform already?


As for 3rd lang, luckily still got a few more days to mull over, but I think DH and I will respect DD's decision, whatever it may be.

Hi MummySTay,

Sorry for the late reply...had problems logging in and the thread was moving super fast so I lost track of the pages I've read.

Firstly, congrats to you & your DD for her achievements. :rahrah:
DD got 26x and yes, she's going to RGS.

Haha...we are very KS....went to buy uniform straight after we got the PSLE results. Have you bought yours yet?

Indeed, we still have 2 more days to decide on 3rd language. Yes, I agree with you, whatever choice DD makes, we will respect & support her.

phankao, my sincere feedback, 258 need not appeal, RGS will reject, you can imagine the long Q. My DD is in RGS. Last year, S1 posting, her best friend got 266, she made a mistake & chose DHS as 1st choice. Of course she got DHS, guess what? After posting results confirmed, she immediately went to RGS to appeal. It was not successful. My sincere sharing, please make sure the choice is right, there is no room for error! Don't waste the 1st choice,

:yikes: Make a mistake as in key in wrong code in system? Aiyo, the mum and dad never do four eye check?! :stupid: :slapshead: what a twist of fate!

Not that keyed-in wrong code, she wanted & chose DHS nearer to her home . While my DD & DW advised her parents repeatedly (not to let her decide). Posting day,all her top classmates 266 & above went RGS & NYG , she changed her mind during reporting day at DHS . The boys went RI & HCI, She cried buckets, her parents & she appealed but still got rejected! :stupid: That's the price of some parents being too democratic , quote RGS's sch authority! :?
