mummy OnABudget:
oki so after 2nd choice can anyhow put le hor lol
I learnt so much from the mummies here. This is their advice on school selection and I think it is important all parents take note :
1st two are schools that you are hoping to get into and may be 2 or 3 points below their cutoff.
Next two are schools that you should be able to get in with your T score
Last 2 choices are schools that you should have no problem at all where the cutoff score is 2 points below yours.
I didn't follow the advice above and altho I was quite confident of dd getting into our first or second choices, I sweated it out the day before school posting as I simply filled in the 3rd choice onwards. Really stupid of me. -

That is provided your child's score is higher than his 1st & 2nd choice, or else it is safer to choose the rest of them wisely. I only chose 2 schools for my boy instead of 6. It is not compulsory to choose 6 schools. -

When I took my psle I had 254. Put scgs as my first choice, the cop for the previous year was 256 I think. My second choice was chij st nicks cop I think was 252 or 251 the previous year. Then 3rd choice cedar was my safety cop was 24something. The rest left blank.

oki so will mainly depend on his results praying hard he will do well enough and from now start waking up now hes in his own land aka xmas land dreaming of what presents hes going to get.
As for me is now see no evil hear no evil talk no evil as dh has step in to push this lazy snake forward.
below will be the 3 choices i will be making so is best to aim for at least 260 to get in base on this yr cop right?
DHS\t 255
CHS \t 252
SJI \t 251 -
mummy OnABudget:
Getting at least 260 SHOULD be quite safe. If your son has special talent, try DSA. My friend successfully applied for DSA(basketball) at DHS this year. He scored only 219 but he still can go there. He also said as long as he get at least 200, he can go DHS. Lucky....oki so will mainly depend on his results praying hard he will do well enough and from now start waking up now hes in his own land aka xmas land dreaming of what presents hes going to get.

Seriously, DSA and getting in with a 219 score is not a good option.....the kid will have a hard time catching up in the school, and he is also expected to contribute to the CCA which will be even more time consuming for him. If his score is in the 240s, I would say it is ok as he probably can still catch up if he works hard. 21x is too far off from the cohort (if you look at the median, it is probably ~258?). As DHS is a IP school, there is minimal cut-off to maintain yearly, else he cannot be promoted to next year.

By the way, is it Dunman High School or is it Dunman Secondary? Is your friend's kid performing way below his usual standard or is he at this standard all the while in Pri school? I am surprised IP school accepting kids via DSA Sports at this standard which is so far off from the school's standard. Usually, they will still take into consideration the kid's academic to ensure they are able to catch up and cope with the rest of the cohort! -

Though I think some ip schools require at least 250?
