Appeal Secondary One Posting

[Notuitionmum]

Heard from my son ex-classmate that one boy with 226 just got accepted by AHS. My son result was better then the boy. Why?

I believe ur DS friend entered the sch thru DSA.

[Just relax]

Not necessary through DSA, this is at the appeal stage where the school will look at a number of factors before deciding which child to accept. As both child do not meet the CO point and there will be other appeal children as well, the school will review the merits of each child and decide which child can be accepted.

Hey gals I am currently a sec 1 girl. I finished my PSLE but I did not do very well. I got 244+3 and I can't go NJC or Nanyang even though I score A* for my CL and distinction for my HCL.


I am very depressed and sad everyday as I badly want to get into Nanyang and NJC. A lot of my friends are there now. I would like to appeal at the end of the year but what am I supposed to do?

People who take the test before, it is very hard? What must I score for my year end results? And will I be able to appeal? I need your help and comment!! Your help will be appreciated. Thanks a lot

Hey there. I’m a student awaiting JC1 school posting. When I was sec 2, I was pushed to appeal to Nanyang by my parents. We paid about $100, and then I had to sit tests for English, Chinese, Science and Math. I wasn’t successful. One of my friends who also tried, wasn’t successful as well. She’s was the top girl in my school’s cohort for sec 2 and 3 (and for O levels she scored 9A1s and 1A2) but she was rejected by Nanyang at sec 2. Her father called up the school to ask how was it possible that his daughter got rejected, and was informed that there was only 1 vancancy, which went to a china scholar. If I had known there was only 1 vacancy I wouldn’t have even paid to sit the test. Btw, there were at least 50 people taking the entry tests. If you try for Nanyang, I would say chances are slim to impossible.

Does your DS have HMT? Some SAP schools do not take in HMT bonus points into consideration during appeal. They only take in T-score which is quite unfair. I have the same encounter for a SAP school too.

Well, it's up to the school. Although MOE posting is by merit, when it comes to appeal it's the school's decision.

Just enjoy yourself in the current school you are in. Do well for O levels and you can go HC/RJ.

Please don't be depressed.
You scored 247, that's a good score. Don't undermine yourself.
With your score, I'm sure you are in a much sought after school, right?
You shd enjoy Yrself in the new school.
