Puffer:

My DS got a 259 and I know the chance to HCI would be higher since he got distinction for Higher Mother Tongue . Is it wise for him to place RI as his 1st choice, followed by HCI? We went to RI today and the admissions officer advised us to place HCI as 1st choice but appeal for RI when posting is out.

Does anyone know what the school look for in appeal cases? DS took part in RI's Maths World contest and in Raffles Science Olympiad. He also tried DSA but didn't qualify. Will these be taken into considerations?
Thank you.

I think that it will be taken into consideration. You should secure a place in HCI than appeal for RI. :goodpost:

Hi gifted,


Personally I hope he can take and at least know what is GEP (so that next time he can tell his children ... too far right :lol: )

I was discussing with my son when he brought back the notice from school, he was asking me what would it be like in the GEP, so I started saying first round testing english and maths and 2nd round maths , english and general paper. He asked what is general paper? I answered should be testing general views and creativity. So he answer me \" I am creative cause my classmates always find my ideas interesting!\" Then I said but you must go through the first round which will be slightly more difficult than school exams. He answered \"then I am not going.\"

So what should I do? :roll:

I think that you should let your son have his own choice.

between Zhonghua Secondary School and Anglican High, which Sec school is better ?

I feel that Anglican High is better as it SAP, and have a high COP.

what is my chance of getting into catholice high ip ps share tks

Chances fairly good. U can also consider Victoria IP if distance is not a concern.

Also, you may want to consider HCI and DHS.[/quote]I think that you have a quite a high chance of getting into chs ip if they are not too many people applying for it. But, I still find your choices are good.
I do not think you should consider HCI and DHS unless your score is 255+3.

[quote=\"Rain7630\"]Hi... I am new here. please help? Thank you!

My PSLE score is 252+2
Here are my choices... give your opinions? ( I live in central and am a SAP student.)

1)St Nics' IP
2)St Nics' O'level
3)SCGS O'level
4)Cedar O'level
5)Chung Cheng High School(Main)
6)Zhonghua Secondary School

Please give me your opinion asap. I have to submit my choices very soon! Thank you so much!

Your choices are OK. You will not end up choice 5 or 6. Chance of getting into St Nick O level is very high. Can't use +2 for IP.

What about DHS?[/quote]Personally, I feel that dhs cop too high and popular - little chance to get in.

Hi all


I am new to this forum. My DD has scored 235 in her PSLE this year. I am staying in West and was in confused state to list the schools.
Could you please help if this list will work out?

1. Crescent (COP - 243) - as my DD is longing for this school, I want to give a try for it..
2. Swiss cottage (COP - 235)
3. Common wealth (COP - 236)
4. Clementi Town (229)

Although I am new and have not sat for psle, I feel that crescent should not be the 1 choice as the cop is so much higher - low chance of getting in.
I would advice you to put it as 4 choice and move up the other 3 choices.

I would approve of your choice, but I do not think that your 5 & 6 choice are very good - low cop.
