Happy on PH results and most importantly, my son's too !!!
:congrats: -
Jennifer:
How about NYGH vs RGS? Always think that NYGH more chi-na.Scary:
However one thing to consider, HCI more chi-na and ACSI is a total opposite.
HCI is definitely not chi-na. -
Scary:
Always find that there are not as many choices for boys (vs girls) when it comes to choosing of schools. Find that it's hard to get into a good school with ard 245. Girls can still go for Crescent and if lucky, MGS. During my era, 245 could get into RGS and 252 into NYGH. These can only appear in dreams now.
I agree that boys seem to have fewer choices for those with results slightly above average yet not the cream ones, especially in the West side. My concern for my son is to get those neither-here-nor-there results, go to the 'lower T-score' schools you will feel a bit 'wasted', but yet very risky to try the 'higher T-score' ones, or else the 'just-nice T-score' schools are far away, tuck at either the central (ie Toa Payoh) or East ... then will really be a big headache :slapshead: -
JRLam:
That's why I'm hoping that in time to come, my ds can at least get 245 which will allow him to choose NHHS, BPGHS or SST equivalent types of school.

No need to go to RI-HCI-NJC (aka tier 1 schs), but hopefully can qualify for a tier 2 one. -

Ya, we had the same concern then.Scary:

What is SST? -
Congrats to Funx3 and Mum1113 for the good results.
Getting above 260 is no mean feat…i read somewhere this translates to top 3% in SG. -
markfch:
NHHS and BPGHS are good schools. I won't mind my son going there at all if he cannot get to the school of his choice.

In fact, I understand Commonwealth Sec is also not too bad, last yr's requirement was 241 or 242. I thought SST requires higher scores? Or at least consistent good results in Science and Maths from P5? The problem is if he get between 230 - 240, which to me its still decent results, but yet no appropriate school nearby ... I will faint ..
