      [quote=\"kamom\"]What about TKGS (233). I think you should put in school with COP 230-ish in option 3, then move down the rest. JMHO πŸ˜„


      ya thought of TKGS too.
      cop 230-ish school kinda hard to filter imho
      still very confused

      i've heard that students who enter tkgs/tkss like the school a lot, perhaps due to the warm environment. also, the students they produce are pretty good as well. πŸ™‚ it's worth considering. if i'm not wrong, they produce good o level results too.[/quote]ya that made me think of tkgs too but cop235
      now looks like i need more cop 220 choices

                With regards to distance, you need to talk to your child. I was in your situation. As a mum, I want my kid to have enough rest but my kid told me that he would rather prefer a bit far but a better school. He will be disciplined to wake up early. I have to trust him and let him make his own decision, it is all part of growing up and taking charge of one's life. πŸ˜„

                      Congrats!
                      Ask yr DD whether she wants Girls' Sch or Co Edu?
                      For Girls' sch, if u are consideting Katong Convent, might as well choose TKGS (COP 235).
                      Check out their O Level results. ( but far if u don't mind ).
                      N u hv to put it as lst or 2nd choice. If not, cannot appeal.
                      COP is close to yr DD score, so success rate is higher. Plus CCA n others can help too.

                      If Co Edu sch, then can stick to yr original option.
                      Hope won't confuse u further.

                        TKGS will be good choice too but cop too close to DD's agrregate of 234
                        will be risky,, since alr have some choices for cop 234 ish alr
                        maybe have to filter more between the choices
                        if there's more \"good\" school choices for cop 210 - 220 will be good
