Secondary School Selection 2012

[Dreamgear]

Bonnie:

I see, which means that I can put in a schools that have COP more than 225 in the first two choices, then followed by a school of 225 COP in the 3rd choice, his chance will not be affected, right? His chance will still be exactly the same as if he had put the 225 school in the first choice?


AM I right?

Yes

My daughter score 238 + 1 . Any chance of getting into Nan Hua (COP 243 last year) if I appeal for her?

Miss by 4 pts (2011 COP:243), do you have anything to back you up. e.g. performing arts or sports. You may want to go down to the school and talk to the P/VP abt your chances.

The 6 choices of the school will be as follow:
1. Nan hua
2. Bukit pangjang
3. Commonwealth
4. Swiss cottage
5. Clementi town
6. Crescent girl

Advise pls

Hi! I am a 12 year old girl. Scored 241+2. I want 2 try to get in Cedar or St Nicks.

Do not Know which to put as first choice. Any advice ?? Tks

Maybe u might like to consider anglican high, tkgs and nan chiau or chung cheng high main as well?

Your chance of getting into Cedar & St Nick is low. Make sure your next few choices are within 235 to 240. Can consider Nan Chiau, Anglican, Anderson & Chung Cheng.

Cedar Girls give you a chance to mix with other races within the school but not St Nicks.

Advise pls[/quote]You are wasting your choice 6 and 2.

Base on last year COP, I would have my 6 choices:
1. Bukit panjang -6
2. Crescent girl -5
3. Nan hua (SAP) -4
4. Commonwealth +2
5. Fairfield +3
6. Swiss cottage +3

Unless you really wish to go NHHS, then you may remove no 1 and 2. and add another 2 choices.

I really envy those parents with problem that dont know which school to select when their child got 235, 249 and more etc. This is a problem I wish to have but mine is more headache, its like survival.


At 218, she cannot go to her brother school TKSS with COP of 233 - 256. That means this single father has to get used to 2 different school ystem.

I will still try TKSS as first choice hoping that all the smart children will fill up the top ones and leaving some slots for the 210+.

A gap of 20 aggregate, Am I crazy? My case is very similar to another parent Lim Siew Ha. My girl also from YZPS and we stayed in Sernagoon Central.

Any kind advise for a pathetic father here?

My ds scored 232. My 1st 4 choices as follows:


1. TKSS (COP: 233) - Nearer to home, so near yet so far.
What’s the chances of appeal?
2/3/4 Random Dunman Sec (COP:229) / Temasek Sec (COP: 230) & Hai Sing Cat (COP:225).

Which sch should I place for 2nd, 3rd & 4th based on the school?

I’m looking at Pasir Ris Crest also. What about 6th choice?

I hope to hear more comments and recommendations on the above schools.

Hey,

I honestly don't feel that you should do that. This is because if you do not meet the COP, and the spaces for your second choice have been filled up (even though your daughter did meet the COP), your daughter may end up in a school that is of a lower standard/she doesn't like. Also, it's almost impossible for a school to dip 20 marks.

Good luck

You are wasting your choice 6 and 2.

Base on last year COP, I would have my 6 choices:
1. Bukit panjang -6
2. Crescent girl -5
3. Nan hua (SAP) -4
4. Commonwealth +2
5. Fairfield +3
6. Swiss cottage +3

Unless you really wish to go NHHS, then you may remove no 1 and 2. and add another 2 choices.

I put Nan Hua as 1st choice as my DD reaaly wish to go to that school.

As for Bukit Pangjang and Crescent, i am hoping that COP will drop so that i can still appeal as it is in her choice of school. Why you put Fairfield above Swiss Cottage? Is it a better school?
