Holychild72:

My child scored 252, whats the chances of him getting into IB programme at SJI

Whats the T-score for SJIJ and CHIJ Toa Payoh?

CHIJ is girls' school. You can put SJI IB as first choice & O level track as 2nd choice.

:thankyou:

Is appeal useful???

Sad Person:

Is appeal useful???

it might be useful if its a diff of 1 or 2 points but not too sure if its useful for the top schools, they tend to stick to their cut off points

Sad person, I also have the same query as you. I think if 1-3 points, should be ok bah, I could be wrong.

My dd is short of 2 pts from this school s cop, I called the sch admin this morn to ask about appeal. She told me, "don"t put our school as your first 2 choices, and we always have 100 over appeals", in my heart, I was thinking, wah, the way she talks v very yah yah leh. This school is the high 22x school

I’m still headache which school to finalize and the sequence to put

Snow Crystal:

Janet, fifiyeo and parents who feel down about PSLE results:

PSLE is over and done with. Don't look back, choose a suitable school and focus on secondary school. You have been great parents and your DC will grow up to remember that you journeyed with them in PSLE. Your reaction will determine their level of self worth. So give them smiles and involve them in pros and cons of the 6choices to show that life goes on. 15 years later, this phase is but a memory. *Hugs to all*

I think you are quite right. After I got through the nightmare of my son's unexpected results, I realized that part of my anguish was becos it put a dent in my self worth. Here I was, top student in my primary school, distinctions in O and Level and post graduate degrees but could not ensure that my son got a high PSLE T Score? Was I so worthless as a tutor to my own DS?

Now that the dust has settled I have given myself a pep talk and told myself to look forward, my DS looks a bit happier. Don't let the poor 12 year old carry the burden of our shattered dreams ! All will be well!

Some of these schools are very yah, yah. Best part not even in the top tier. Don't know what to say.

Don't be sadden by their remarks.

Dont worry, I'm sure the admin is not the decision maker..... However its a reflection on the school...

Hi yukilei,

I think you were thinking of another parent...I didn't plan any holiday.

Gosh, can't imagine so much has happened this year 2012...madness put together is enough adventure for a while...next year, I need a break, mentally...but again, it won't be possible bcos my younger one in P3 needs that attention.

Can go for a short break. Recharge and work hard for Sec 1. I brought my kids to Legoland a few weeks ago. Was good for a one day trip.
