Thks pen [/quote]You're welcomed, Ms Tay. I guess there will be lots of appeal after posting results are out. As usual, some \"change mind\" / \"must make last effort to try\" cases. Like I always say, do what you think is for the benefit of the kid: Try if you must; Let go and move on if you must.

psle sad mum, I know you are very worried now and looking for some assurance. However no one can guess the COp of TKGS at the moment. The appeal chance will be partly dependent on the COP. For eg. if this yr COP is 233 / 234, and your DD didn't manage to get in, the possibility of success for the appeal is higher as she is very near the COP. If this year's COP increase to 236, then the success rate of your DD's appeal will be affected too.

I wish I can give you more assurance, but since we have already done our part and put in our choice, we just have to wait till Wed to know the outcome, before we decide on the next step. Try not to worry too much, go shopping, go spa, watch a drama, etc. Relax and let's not think of things beyond our control.

Hi, will we know what’s the school’s COP on posting results release day? If we know, then maybe it is easier to decide on that day whether to appeal or not, maybe?

But if we don’t, then it’s probably better to just go ahead and appeal and hope for the best.

Bbee, yes you can know when you asked the sch. It will not be published in any form, but individual schools will know their own COP and inform parents when they ask about appeal. Last year, a fren tried to appeal and the sch admin actually told him COP and inform him too far off COP, no chance so don't waste time and effort.
