Choose Secondary school for 2010

[rains]

peakpeak,


Thanks for the input! Wow, so it’s really tough to decide what school to choose and how to place them in the choice list. I can only hope that my kid will do well enough not to be caught in such a dilemma.

Hi,


I would like to ask the experts here on the following matter:

I overheard a child with T-score of 247 trying to decide which school she could go last year.

She's from nyps, and the COP for nygh was 250 for her due to affiliation. However, her mother discouraged her from putting nygh as the first choice. She asked her to put Crescent Girls as first choice instead as according to her, the COP was 24-something and if the child put Crescent Girls as first choice, she would definitely get a place there. But if she put nygh as first choice and Crescent Girls as 2nd choice, she would be at risk of not getting Crescent Girls if she's rejected by nygh.

How true is that?

It is indeed true that there is a possibility that she would not get in2 Crescent Girls if she gets rejected by nygh... as there would b little vacancies after those who put CG as their first choice gets in... If her score is a lot higher than the cut-off point then she should hav a higher possibility of getting in..

I don't think what you say is very accurate. As long as her score is higher than another kid regardless of whether that kid put CG as first choice, she will take up the spot in CG first. I don't think the COP is pre-defined.

From MOE:
All pupils will be ranked by merit according to their PSLE results. In general, a pupil would be considered for admission to his choice of schools before another pupil who has not performed as well in the PSLE, subject to the availability of vacancies in the school.

Hi vvwil,
I would go for cedar. Girls' school, less distraction. Moreover:
Level Two Award
● SAA (Academic Value-added) (Special/Express)
Level One Award
● AA (Academic Value-added) (Special/Express) - Gold

whereas for Anderson:
Level One Award
● AA (Academic Value-added) (Normal) - Bronze
● AA (Academic Value-added) (Special/Express) - Bronze


Check your pm.

Nanhua cop is 243. Some forummers speculate that this year’s cop will reduce, while some say will increase, so I’m also clueless. Sori.
