Secondary School Selection 2012

[Dreamgear]

sanie:

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.

Maris stella?

Thanks for answering my question on MOE selection process. Now I have a better idea on how to rank my choices

Jasmy:

For score of 248+3

Will it be risky to put SCGS (o level) as 1st choice?
Am worried now as I read some where that cop for O level track for new ip school will be increased.
I need some advice please for my choice as follows
1) SCGS o level
2) St nick o level
3) Cedar o level
4) Anderson
5) Nan Chiau
6) Xinmin

TIA

At st nick, u can enjoy the 3 bonus points.

Hi, need some advise on selecting sec. school. My ds has 252 +2. . We are staying in hougang area, and he is unable to decide between vs and cath high. He prefers vs a little over cath high, however distance is important too, which I guess it takes another 15 mins further for vs. Anybody can share any advise or experiences in these 2 schools? Appreciate so much.

Are u looking at ip or o level?

I place Hai Sing as first choice to guarantee him a place in a school. Also, in case the COP gets raised to 226 then he wont make it, but at least that will make my appeal easier. I am considering appealing to MS based on his CCA-Band. As for my 6th choice, do you know which is better Bowen or Mayflower.? Both are very far, not ideal, but I dont have better ones near my house

[Bonnie]

Putting MS as 2nd choice and HS as first choice - is this strategy a wise one? Sigh, such a tough decision

I will put both school ip as the choice first, follow by o level. The chances for ip could be slim. Seems to me vs more all rounder while cath more academic focus. Also not sure what it mean for cath. High that they have the flex. to choose their subject for sec 3 while vs side say their adv. is they go for pure science while other school is combi.

Yes, I know for St nick, I can add the 3 pts for better chance. However my dd prefer scgs and we are just at the cop based on last year. Hence now worried that she might not be able to get in.

You have make your choices very wisely. COP for dual track schools will go
up by 1 or 2 points. Top O level track students may switch to IP track in
year 3 & 4.

Thanks, mummy so kiasu, but how do u think of my chances of getting into scgs? Do you think I will need to appeal? :nailbite:
