Is PSLE so important?

My DS prelim for oral will be in the last week of July, with LC on 31/7 (Saturday). Main papers scheduled to be on the 2nd week of August, before PSLE Oral.

Based on nature theory, both you and your sister already have 50% of the genes, if not 100%. So don't feel sad, the rest is to bring out your potential. Yes the COP of RGS seems tough but now you can see how the T-score helps to put the numbers only slightly slanted in 2007 for the difficult papers set so it does not skew the number too much until it is unpredictable if a T-score can qualify into a certain school.


Also, I agree with with Lizawa said about clearing round 1 GEP, in fact it is top 6% if you really want to drill down the numbers. I believe if you minus away the boys in the top 6% and those who likes SAP schools, your sis still has a good chance to go to RGS.

I know during your Mum's era, everything is like a blackbox, so do you think now we have more information, is it better? Other than making us worry more....... :lol:

How on Earth did you find out about this? I believed all my life I was only in the top 10%. I hope you are right!

Pandan Cake can try the DSA route.

She may want to consider NUS or join you in Duman High (Top 5, in fact top 4 for last 2 years).

Wish her good luck.

Anyone can tell me when you choose six schools in order of preference, does the schools matter what order you put them?


Example:

Student A puts School X as his first choice and Student B puts School X as his third choice and both of them gets the same aggregate score, will the school see them as equal or will rather choose Student A if there is only 1 place left.

Really need to clarify this so thanks a lot in advance!

It does not matter which order you place. The only thing that matters is the child's T score. Even if you see 2 students having same T score, MOE has internal records which show their exact scores down to many decimal places. Hence the one with higher T score will get the place first.

If I dont remember wrongly placing the school is very important and you have to be sensitive on your first choice. If two same score and only have one place left on that particular school both pupils had choosen. The first choice will go into that school and that the 3rd choice pupils.


To choose a school you want to send your child. Your child marks must at least near within that secondary school entry marks. For security purposes you call up that particular school what is their 2010 minimum entry points before you put in the first choice.

First Choice is very important, if yr child’s mark does not reach the school you want to enter dont put as it is waste of your priority.


All the best!

u have remembered wrongly, the order of the schools is not impt,
what's is impt is the pupils' aggregate, the T-score
as posting is ranked by merit,
unless for affliated sec school, then u must place it as 1 st choice.

there are already many discussions in this forum b4.........
of course, one has to be realistic of the 6 choices

[Nebbermind]

perhaps u guys are looking at diff perspective regarding the order of selection.


1) order is important within the 6 choices for the student himself
he will be allocated the school of HIS highest choice as long as there is a vacancy for him.

2) order is NOT important when comparing between two students.
the student with the higher T-score gets to choose 1st even if the school is his 6th choice when his 1st 5 choices have no more vacancy.
