2010 PSLE Discussion
-
atutor2001:
Totally Agreed with U.I feel that it is most important for your DS to work hard in Sec 1 & 2 and remain in the top class (even if the school may have lower COP) so that there is no/less notorious kids in his class. I know someone who managed to get into St And, got into big trouble because he mixed with wrong companies. Sec 1 & 2 are very important years for boys where they follow friends more than parents.
My Boy did Not Perform Well in PSLE, Got Less Than 200 ....
And We Let Him Go Into a NeighbourHood Normal Acad School ....
He's Perfectly Happy There - Mixing with His Own Group of Similar Minded Classmates Who Wish to DO Well And Improve Academically ....
However, there R Other Students in His Class (Even Though It is Top Class) .... Who Smokes, Who \"Ponteng\" Class, ....
Even His Form Teachers, During Every Year's Meet-the Parents Session, R Cautioning Us to Look Out for Our Boy, and Not to Mix with the \"WRONG\" Company in His Own Class ....
Relieved to Say That My Boy Perform Academically Well, And Remain in the Top Class ....
and He Has Just Finished His \"O-Level\" this Month and R Waiting for His Results Now ....
He Assures This Mummy He Has Done Well in His Exam, And Is Looking Forward to Enrol in His Favourite \"Animation\" Course in Poly Next Year ....
So, I DO Agree that Sec 1 and 2 R Crucial Year ....
And Our Kids Follow Friends .... More than Parents ....

yaya totally agree with u that discipline & distance shld b the main consideration. unfortunately we are stayin in bt timah & all the elite schs are nearby but beyond our reach. so near yet so far. hv a feelin tat he wont make it to nan chiau.
I think appealing for SJI through normal channel is difficult because the COP is 241. Therefore, there is no real advantage in putting it as the 1st choice.atutor2001:
[quote=\"ahque\"]
as he had fever during psle, with special consideration of 4 points, he has 232. goin to appeal for sst as our ds didnt manage to clear e 2nd around. now, we are struggling as to which schools to choose. seems like to risky to put sji as 1st choice, but we can only appeal if we put sji as 1st choice rite? our choices :-
1st choice - sji
2nd choice - maris stella
3rd choice - clementi town
4th choice - ?
5th choice - ?
6th choice - ?
:?: :?: :?: pls advise.
My personal consideration for Sec school is discipline and distance. I think Maris stella is a good choice. Maybe you would also like to consider Nan Chiau (231) and Presbyterian High (229). The 4th, 5th ... choices are not important if we are realistic with our first 3 choices.
now more like :-
1. maris stella cop 232 band 3
2. clementi town cop 230 band 4
hv selected few schs but dunno how to place
fuhua cop 229 band 4
presbyterian cop 229 band 5
st andrew cop 233 band 7
gan eng seng cop 222 band 5
bt batok cop 221 band 5
what do u advise? heard of fuhua?[/quote]Your DS got extra 4 points due to fever? How to get the points? I had fever oso but dunno how...? -
hi,
can someone please advise.
my dd has 247+1(HCL) applying:
1. CHIJ St Nic
2. Cedar
3. TKGS
do you think the selection is risky since my first and second choice are borderline??(vs COP 247 and 246 respectively)
thank you -

2 of my nieces are from Fuhua. If you are streamed into the best class, it's actually quite good. Both my nieces are well disciplined, and do well academically also in the school.

My wife called MOE regarding this and they agreed there will be a very small percentage that will have same T-score even they have many dec pl. In such cases, they said the person with 1st choice have an advantage.
No, choice does not matter. There are many decimal places behind the 224 that you see on the result slip, in the database. So the one with the higher \"224\" will have priority over the one with the lower \"224\".Adetan:
If happens both pupils get 224, first pupil put his 1st choice as Fuhua and second pupil put as 2nd choice. You think second pupil will get into Fuhua? Will first pupil get the first priority? Pls comment...thks

That's true. It's because if you read the book carefully, you can only get into a school if you can displace the lowest person in the queue. If somebody with the same T-score got there first, you cannot displace that person.
It's all on their website. http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/admissions/secondary-one-posting/ -

Interesting. Then it depends on how the students are sorted when they are ranked. not the choice also. For example, if the students are sorted by T-score, then, by name. Then, the student whose name appears first will be allocated place first. If this person gets into his 2nd choice school, the next person with exactly the same score (even up to decimal place), but chose the school as 1st choice, won't be able to displace this last person !ganchiong:

Oh, sorry, maybe there is also a sorting by school choice. then it makes sense that the person who chooses the school as first choice gets priority. In any case, it will affect those who have exactly the same score and when there is only 1 place left. Tough luck ! -

Otherwise you'll find loads of kiasu parents naming their children Aaron.
Ay, but kiasu might as well name Aaron just in case. hahahah!
