Thank u vy much Livewith_vanila.

further clarification needed.. pls help..

What should the 2nd & 3rd, 4th choice be ? if cant get in the 1st choice and COP is sure in for 2nd choice (eg. School C), will the child be queuing
behind those children with lower COP but opted school C as the 1st choice?
Does it mean that the second choice school acceptance COP has to alot lower, so to ensure acceptance? I just want to know the selection process so not to end up with the school with vacancies nearest to my house.

Hi Penjuin,

The allocation of schools is purely by merit, as livewith vanilla explained. So let's say your child has an aggregate of 251 and puts School A as first choice and School B as 2nd choice. If he doesn't get into his first choice but his aggregate is enough to get him into his 2nd choice, he will be allocated his 2nd choice. It doesn't matter whether the person after him (say Person B with score 250) placed School B as 1st choice because your child is ranked higher than Person B. So the computer will finish your child's allocation before moving onto Person B.

So what if Person B has the same score as your child? Although you both may have 251, MOE recognises the t-score up to MANY decimals, ie 251.xxxxxxxxxxx. MOE has said that it is very unlikely that two children will have the exact same score down to the last decimal. In the very unlikely scenario that it does happen, then yes, the person who put School B as 1st choice will be given that last remaining vacancy.

Thank You vy much both... i'm clearer now. Thanks for the advise and help.[/quote]My I know how does +2HMT chinese for SAP school count into MOE ranking?

How does +2HMT was taken into account in MOE ranking of students according to their aggregate score?

I have a query. My son scored 258 +2 for HigherMT Chinese. He wants to put RI as the first choice and HC as the 2nd choice. Let's say, RI seats are all filled up. I understand that MOE will ranks students according to their aggregate score. So he will be ranked below student A who scored 259. Student's A first choice is HC. If student A fill up the last vacancy of HC, when my son's turn come he will have no more place in HC. How does +2 help in this case? :? please enlighten me.

My son scored 258+2 HMT. My dream choices are RI and HCI. Which one should I put first? We are not chinese family. My third choice may be ACSI (IP).
