When comparing the different schools, I think we should compare the % of pupils with 250+ and the mean scores of the schools. We also should exclude the GEP students of the school since they are originally from different schools and they should be 250+ in any way. Including these factors, maybe you will find many schools may not be that good as it appears. I think Rulang or Aitong is better than NY or Nan Hua, after all if you child can enter GEP, she/he can get high score in any school.

I am totally agreed with you. :rahrah:

Me sencond!

No. NY didn't reveal the % scoring 240 and above. Do you have the stats? But in any case, I am more concerned about 250 and above which suits me fine.

Nobody to answer our questions. Don't know where to find the answers.Very stunned n puzzled.
My daughter was in the top 10 range in her school. Now the others who were far behind has overtaken her.
Now I know how the hare, in the tortoise and hare story, felt after the tortoise had won(though we did not fell asleep like the tortoise).

Same goes to my boy. His good friends who were far behind have overtaken him by 8 to 9 points. I think sometime luck plays a part.

hearsay that this year got 40% scoring between 240 to 249

so got 87.7% scoring from 240 or higher ! now which school comes close this this ?

Hi everyone.


My son’s aggregate for psle is 244 and we chose St Joseph’s Institution for the first choice. Does anyone have any idea what are the chances of him getting into the school?
If he is not able to get into SJI, he will be very upset as he has been aiming for that school since he was in primary 5.

I read with empathy for those who did not score as expected. I just wonder could it be something like what I don't expect to see in my DS1 P2 math paper http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=45257?


But after this, I hope all will think positively and move on. All the best in your secondary school life. I am not very good in words. In short, jia-you in your next stage of education and don't give up.
