      Cedar IP will be safe but in case not, yr dc very likely 100% get TJC IP.
      Sadly, there has been many -ve feedback on TJC IP especially JC level such as super super strict rules ,
      average A level results ( last among IP JCs), no school spirit.
      Im referring to JC Level which yr dc goes in after 4 yrs.

      Why not opt St Nicholas IP, as 3rd choice?

      based on Timmei13 choices, i think she stay east, hence St Nick is very far for her daughter in Ang Mo Kio.
      Thus, she didn't choose St Nick (IP)

      hi Timmei13,

      you can consider swap your order, around
      Put SCGS (IP), before TJC

      Once your girl enter SCGS (IP) successfully, no need to select St Nick (IP) anymore, because come Year 5,
      whether come from SCGS or from St Nick, all will join the same Eunoia JC

      unless you are saying that, u feel more comfortable with Temasek JC (IP), because no matter what, TJC A-level curriculum had been there existing for many years, while EJC only gone through first-maiden batch A-level last year (2018), hence more prudent

      And

      TJC is much nearer your house, more convenient, perhaps u stay opposite TJC

      hey... I didn't say those things that appeared that I said so... so I'm correcting it here....[/quote]Thks phtthp, mommyNg, winsomelosesome!
      Yes I’m staying in tampines. At first, we also consider SNGS but after taking mrt, still needs to take bus abt 30-40 min, too long ride. Thus we choose SCGS, more convenient after mrt, just walk abt 5 min?erhmmm but now I’m a bit hesitant to put TJC after heard the comments😂
      Btw, for 3rd lang can we change to ..let say Malay fr German after 2 terms if can’t cope?
      Thks so much parents!!

      My dd got 253+2, she prefers IP.
      Is our choices too risky?
      Nanyang 258
      DHS 256
      Cedar IP 253
      TJC 250
      SCGS IP 252
      Cedar O 250

      I would suggest that you include a school with a past year COP of about 5-7 points below your dd (253+2) as the 6th choice. This is for safety purpose, although unlikely, in case somehow the COP of the schools that you listed go up by 3 to 4 points, you still have one to \"catch\" your dd.

      Thks for the advice👍

      There are some schools that will ask for your 6 choices during appeal. However, not sure if they only entertain appeal cases where the school is one of the 6 choices.

      Yes, know what u mean.

      Is like, u did not even choose me, inside your 6 choices from the beginning. Now then, u come to my school to appeal ...

      Sorry 1 more thing ask silly qn, can we appeal to 2 schools? In case the other no more vacancy😂

      For appeal,
      the minimum Tscore required is the Cut off point, itself

      Are we only allowed to appeal our 1st choice? What happen if actually I meet the cut off point for 2nd choice, can we appeal? Thks.

      You can appeal to any school whose COP you have met, even schools that you did not apply for (as part of your 6 choices).[/quote]I see , Thks so much for the info👍

      Cutoff point... Can only know after posting results are out and i think one may need to call up the school to check what min T-score is allowed for appeal cases.

      Hi

      For those who may want to know whether RGS sends out rejection emails if DD is not shortlisted, the answer is Yes, they do, at least for the English domain. I have just received the rejection email 😞

      All the best to your DD's and DS's.
      Apparently tomorrow is the test for English, DD’s friend is going tomorrow

      Got DSA for my DD Math and Science from NYGH, 5 minutes gap and different venue. Challenging!

      I think the teachers will be understanding. And I imagine they are aware some kids are there for more than one domain's interview. So don't worry too much about being on time. The school is big, but not that big either.

      I think more importantly, let your DD have a good rest the night before and relax. Will be a tough Saturday with back to back selection tests.

      All the best.

      Thanks cutepandabear for the advice. Yes I do think good rest is important. I have not started to ask how to prepare for the NYGH math and science test yet 😄[/quote]Hihi... let me know how to prepare the science test ya, for next Saturday rite?
