Nope. If this is the same book that I recall browsing thru before at a bookstore, it is way outdated.

Look at the back cover blurb: tips on GAT (no longer used by any school), personal statement (only used by RI and RGS currently, I believe). This was for the era pre-MOE portal.

If this is an online purchase from Carousell, ask the seller to snapshot the year of publication. And also the chapter on personal statement to see if relevant for your target school.[/quote]

Thank you for sharing! I think the book was published in 2016. Will check the book out if i can find it in a bookstore.

Thought your child is in some niche sport so likelihood is everyone knows everybody so you should know your chance ya? Anyways if no chance why waste time hahaha 🤣

No lah, my eldest is in a team sport where she is the super sub, best water carrier and ultimate cheerleader. Unfortunately (or fortunately), the school didn’t list them down and only reflect the medals / placing (the team is quite good though)

She didn’t choose those popular top tier schools so I think she will probably do ok (in the land of the blind, I hope the one eye is king).

For the non-acad achievements, I list down things like achieved highest score in HK Disneyland Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, stay awake for 24hr watching YouTube in aid of her brother’s charity drive (to buy himself a toy) etc to show that she’s also an equally well rounded person.

Hi,


Anyone knows how is NUS High shortlisting done?

And what is the format of exams… similar to PSLE?

Thanks in advance.

Wow great teamwork exhibited in her team sport…..and therefore manifested in the medal glory.
What extraordinary non-acad achievements!! You sure know how to capture eyeballs for her!

Sports, it's the easiest domain to apply for.
Have, have. Don't have, don't have.

Daddy's KSP credentials count for zilch leh, but daddy is a huge influencer on YouTube with 10 followers. Maybe that one can?

Only 10 … or do you mean 10 thousands? Hmm sure, I’m sure it’ll help if u add that in! Shows you’re fully supportive of your child’s sport!

Hi , I would like to ask the parents with past experience, does anyone have a situation where they receive 2 COs or one CO and one WL?

Yes, you can get 2 COs or even 3 COs etc. OR a combination of COs and WLs.

When the selection date comes, you'll need to decide on which CO you'd like to pursue. Once you lock that in, that's it. It's final irrespective of your child's PSLE score (provided that you meet the requirement for Express Stream, I believe).

If you have a CO and a WL, selecting the CO will negate/discard the WL. If you select the WL, you can still keep the CO (as your 2nd choice) where if the WL does not materialize into a CO, then the original CO (that 2nd choice) will be used. (Thanks to @zac's mum for the clarification.)

I hope I'm correct but if not, my apologies for the confusion.

It is possible to rank as follows:


1. CO

Or

1. WL
2. CO

I believe those are the only 2 workable submissions.
