I’d also like to ask experienced parents, is the allocation process controlled by MOE or the respective secondary schools? I heard the school principal say that if you’re coming from an affiliated primary school but do not place the affiliated secondary school as FIRST CHOICE, you will definitely not get a place in that school regardless how high your score is. Meaning to say for example if aggregate score was 260 and I choose another school as first choice, and place my affiliated secondary school which has a cut-off point of only 240 as second choice, if I don’t make it to my first choice school, I will also lose out to another candidate with lower score than me just because the other candidate put the affiliated school as first choice and I didn’t - is this true or is the school principal just trying to scare us into putting the school as first choice to boost the take-up rate? Is the allocation totally by merit or by order of preference of choice position? If my score is 260, will even my 6th choice take priority over another person’s first choice who has a score of a lower 250? Really appreciate any guidance!

Hi did anyone notice that in the colourful MOE brochure named 'What's Next' inside the result pack, it states that CHIJ St Nicholas has both IP and IB programme? Since when did this school have an IB offer? How can MOE make such a major blunder or am I the one who is uninformed?
