Friend's kid, P6 last year..... She told me tat to hv greater sec sch options (we r talking abt avg n not the better sec sch) need to hv at least a score of 245 & above!!

Score of 245 is very high. Easily can go to the following.

St Nicholas Girls' School
Cedar Girls
Catholic High
Victoria
ACS
Anderson Sec

Score > 250 will land you at

Nanyang Girls' High School
RGS
RI
Dunman High
HCI
RVHS
MGS
SCGS

Got to be realistic and don't stress the kid too much for such a high expectation. If the kid can perform then be it

Think there are also other \"better\" sec sch with score below 245

[/quote]every yr around Sep, all P6 kids will be given a sec school selection guide book from MOE, there will be full descriptions of all the sec schools (eg location, strengths etc). The minimum cut off points for the previous batch of PSLE students admitted the school will be listed to help in selection of sec schools. If you are keen to see what are the scores like for schools on an informal basis, look at the threads in PSLE and Sec school selection, some parents share the cut off pts of the schools their kids get admitted to. Hope this helps

If I may correct some of the above Sch's COP:

2)Cedar shd be 249. Went IP this yr so COP is raised.
3)Catholic High is 247. Likely to go up,going IP next yr.
4)Victoria is 246.
5)SCGS is 248. Likely to go up,going IP next yr.
6)MGS is 250.

Sorry... maybe I should be more specific. Score of more than 245 is very high. Those schools have COP of 245 - 249.

Hello,

Anyone able to recommend a CL tutor ?

[janett]

Is River Valley is a good school? Is it very academic with lots of homework? Noticed that the % pass for Chinese is 95.5% which is below the national average of 97.3%. Are they weak in Chinese?

hi parents…

Just received a letter from school regarding the above…
As such, wanted to know how you are preparing your child for this…
Not sure if the teachers teach the students how to actually do a
proper presentation as the assessment criteria seems quite comprehensive.
I guess the school is expecting either the parents to coach their children?

Thoughts anyone?

What are the criteria?
