          but pple usually accept CO first safer is because they won't know if child going to perform well or not in PSLE.


          if din perform well, then accept CO is the answer.
          if perform well, then S1 posting is the answer.

          but before PSLE, nobody knows the answer. Who can tell what's in store for you ...
          That's why you don't DSA for schools you have no intention of going to or will not be happy going to. Just DSA for the schools that you want to get into. So even if you don't get your first choice school, you'll be happy in your second choice school. Once you've accepted your CO, close your eyes to secondary school selection and look forward to going to the school that you have selected. Yes, the school YOU have selected via CO.

          The pitfalls of being too kiasu and having too many back-up plans... You might not like the final outcome.

              Thks for this Ah Beng & Ah Seng story. Enjoyed it a lot. 😉 But like what strparent has said, you never know what's going to happen, so better to accept the CO first. If really can't get in, then bobian, fated lor. Have to tell Ah Beng to accept it... afterall, the other boy sch is also a good sch. Only Ah Beng can get in leh... :rotflmao:

              Back to my question, am I right to say COP is just a guide? not necessary can get in even if score > 259? Depending on vacancies & number of students applying right?

                    Yes, it's just a guide based on historical COPs.

                      With all the naming of Ah Beng, Ah Seng, Ah Huay, Ah Lian, Ah Mei .... It looks like watching Taiwanese Drama, but on KSP channel. :lovesite:
