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

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:

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?

Maris stella?

Is it advisable to put MS under which choice? I prefer ds in a mixed school for ds.

Does anyone have any comments on ST Patrick, Geylang Methodist, Bowen and Mayflower. Are they good schools?

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

Congrats to yr DD result!
O Level track COP will go up as almost half of the places are reserved for IP Track. SCGS COP is 248, so will likely increase.

Yr DD has 248( can't use Bonus point), to get into SCGS is not confirmed.
Since yr DD scored Distinction for HMT, show her competency in her Mother Tongue. Well done!

Shd use 3 Bonus points. Yr DD will get into St Nicks.
FYI, most premier Schs only allow appeal if u put their Schs as First Choice.
Even if DD doesn't get into St Nicks, with 251 ( new COP will b quite close to 251) is easier to appeal compare to SCGS with 248 ( new COP may b a few points away fr 248).

Most likely get into HCI. But no harm putting RI as first choice. Posting is by merit & not by choice, therefore chance of getting into HCI will not get affected. You can put Dunman High as your 4th choice follow by NCHS & ASC. Btw, what is ASC or it is ACS?

Bonnie:

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

You should put the one with higher COP first. It will not affect your chance of getting into MS. Try to choose schools not more than 2 points above your child's score. Make sure than the last 2 choices are at least 2 points below your child's score.
