      [quote=\"Only272\"]To the parent whose son score 263, if another guy with 263 put HCI as his first choice, he will get it over your son/


      Only272, thank you for your clarification. So only those that score the same 263 will get consideration first with the school of their first choice, right?

      This is wrong. Who has the priority will depend on who has higher score and not on the choice. If both score 263, there are still decimal points behind 263 (but not made known to students) and whoever has higher scores will get higher priority.[/quote]Thanks AZwildcat. That's was my first understanding too! Should I try for RI first then and put Hwa Chong as second choice?

        This information is wrong. Allocation is by merit, not order of choice. The exact details of how allocation is done in event of same score can be found in the grey guide book[/quote]Thank you Dreamgear, i thought i understand it that way too!

            Janet,


            what done is done. Don’t look back. Life don’t stop short at 203. No parents on earth wants to see their children doing badly. There will be plenty of opportunities in life, and maybe excel in his future secondary school. I am sure you have heard of Adam Khoo success story. His is a living example. So never give up. continue the fighting spirit with your son. take this as another test paper, have to move on in life. In the next few days, you may need to strategies what best fit your DS in sec school selection. Make the best out of it. And who knows, your DS may score straight As in his O Level? Cheers!

              Guys, I am extremely disappointed with my daughter's results. She only got 272 marks this year! I heard that a large number of people got 280 and above. I am so sad right now. What can you do with 272? Sigh. I'm not trying to make other people with terrible scores like say, 260 feel sad, but this is really annoying. Especially since the average score in singapore is like what, 275? Sigh.

              260s are not terrible scores and are not SAD at all ! 272 is a good score and you should be glad and humble about it.

                you are greedy! 272 is already above average! Your daughter can choose alot of schools already! what do you expect? a perfect 300?! Can you score 272?

                it is parents like you that is causing the stress in the education system!

                  Do take note that whether or not your younger brother will have a place there is subjected to school sec1 intake size and the number of pupils who are eligible to apply to that same school.

                    I think \"Only272\" is a child and not a parent... BTW Only272, if 275's the average, does that mean that even top schools like RGS/RI are admitting people below average? Let's be real here.

                      Are you really a parent with a child taking PSLE this yr? Or are you trolling here trying to stir unpleasantness?
