For MOE to say \"All Schools Are Good Schools\", I beg to differ as far as academic results are concerned. It is like saying \"All Principals Are Good Principals\" - if they are not good, then how can they be promoted to be principal. But is it a fact that all of them are competent?? -

My son is still very playful...he is thinking of ACS I, bcos neighbour's son is there. 255 (2 A* 2As). I would love for him to go there too, seriously.
Wah, acsi...so yr son is not as jailat as u portray hor.janet_lee88:
Son hoping for ACS I...I am looking at SJI.
But I am looking at SJI bcos some friends whose sons are there told me environment is good, not too academic driven. But I don't mean to say SJI is not good. It is. -

That's my understanding of the allocation system too. What I did with my daughter last year was to select 2 'hopeful' schools, 2 'reasonable chance' schools, and another 2 'sure' schools. This way, we got to choose all the 6 schools and not have the possibility that she got sent to a school we didn't select because all the choices aimed too high.[/quote]Oh! This is really helpful to me!! :udawoman:
If the policy hasn't over the last 2 yrs, then it doesn't matter, ie, if your T-score is higher than the other fellow while yours is 2nd choice and his is 1st, the seat still goes to you.Nebbermind:
[quote=\"anneshirleygilbert\"]Hi everyone,
My daughter brought home the Choosing Sec Sch Book yesterday. It's the grey one. I think most of you would probably have seen your children's.
I have a question as I'm not familiar with the system here. Would she stand a good chance of getting her second choice if she doesn't get her first choice? I mean, would all the first choice applicants get preference over those who put the same school as their second choice? even if her score is higher than those who had chosen that school as their first choice?
I realize there must be some strategy even in the choosing of schools... I've heard of cases where students, even relatively good students end up with Choice 6, simply because they were ill-informed. Any advice would be appreciated.
TIA

So in that sense, u donch have to worry about the other people...just place your choices according to your preference.
For school selection, you should get hold of the past 3 yrs' COP. Shortlist 2~3 schools for each 5-pt interval, say 240~245 choice 3 schools, 246~250 choice 3 schools.
So assume you get 245, you have already shortlisted 6 schools from 240~250. -

No affiliation for IP programme but only for \"O\" level programme. This is the same for all IP programmes in the other schools. -

Wah. Both Sch dun play play. Not that easy. Assuming non-affiliation also must ~248 to be safe. Can aim this kind of Sch means standard around there. -
