Yewniffler171:
Does anybody know how many vacancies are there for Japanese (third lan)?

And RV vs NYGH, which one is better?
No idea on the number of vacancies for third lang. Although I have heard of people being rejected on their choice before.

Between RV and NYGH, I say NYGH.

Desperate mother:
Hi, my son scored 216 for his PSLE. We currently stay near old airport road. There are not many schools that he can apply for. Would appreciate your advice. Thanks.

Hi, have you considered St Gabriel's Sec?

[quote=\"Yewniffler171\"]Besides, RV does have character development.

I have a question: How did the NYGH girls , later at HCI do for their A levels?
Generally, how did HCI students do for their A levels?

HCI has always been second just behind RI in terms of A level performance.
The rest didn't really come close .

Actually depends on where do you stay as well.

That is for the overall performance? As in the average of all the students there?[/quote]This is based on :
University Admission Scores,
Number of 3A / 4A students,
% of A in each subject, etc 😄

I'm not too sure of the east but I seem to recall there's Mountbatten Primary School?

Zhuge:
I prefer all-rounded development than scoring straight As.

So you prefer what school?

But RV produces quite good A level students.

Ya true, it produces very good results for its FIRST batch last year.

[quote=\"Yewniffler171\"]Oh. Ok:) Thanks for the great advice.

However, I am still pondering over something.
I should have this.
1st: NYGH
2ND :NJC
3RD: RV.
(not sure for order of rv and njc tho)

then what about the rest? Should I fill the other 3 choices? Because I think RV should be able to get in. But then also should I include RGS in? Their COP is 260.

And for 3rd lan, I am definitely choosing Jap. Should I choose others for the 2nd and 3rd choice?

For third language, if you choose Japanese as first choice, you can't put German/French as 2nd and 3rd choices. You'll have to choose from Malay/Arabic. If you're not keen on taking those as third lang just leave blank.

Ok thanks. But I went to the RV open house today and I found that their programmes are quite good. Next question: NYGH or RV?[/quote]If distance is not a problem, I would go for NYGH. It leads to a more mature and established JC, HCI.
So if you are interested in RV, you gotta put RV as 2nd choice.
