Appeal Secondary One Posting
-
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.

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. -

And if I may add on, PSLE is hardly a reliable gauge for how you will do at Os. My school have students who entered by affiliation is 210,220 and got 6points for O levels, yet we have students with 26x and 25x for PSLE getting double digit scores for Os.

Haha I don't feel much anticipation over it - most likely TJC (like 95% confirm). Unless by some freak of nature I get VJC LOL. (highly unlikely)
