[quote=tyne post_id=2048108 time=1637807153 user_id=16028]Hi All

Having a hard time deciding on schools. My son scored AL9(M) and we are tossing around a few options. He is attracted to the idea of skipping another major exam in 4 years but not exactly fixated about getting into IP and he has an affiliated secondary school with cut off at AL12 (for non-affiliates). Given these considerations, we are thinking of:
1.\tCatholic High – IP (AL8)
2.\tCatholic High – O’levels (AL9M)
3.\tACSI – O’levels (AL9)
4.\tSJI – O’levels (AL10)
5.\tAffiliated School (AL12)

For #1 and #2 scenario – our hypothesis is that if he can’t get into Catholic High IP and Catholic High O’levels goes into tiebreaker, given that he is Singaporean and had chosen the same school in #1 and #2, the system still views his choice of Catholic High as first choice. Can I pls affirm this understanding?

Given that we have SJI and affiliated school as #4 and #5 and there is a 1–2-point buffer here, this should be a safe fall-back strategy to at least get into either one of these schools if he fails to get into the schools ranked ahead?

Appreciate any feedback and advice.

Indicative IP CHS is 8(M) so it's unlikely your son will get it, there still AL8(P), AL8 & AL9(D) above his score.
If COP CHS is exactly the same with the indicative 9(M), it's disadvantage to put it in the 2nd order because kids put it in 1st order will get in first.
It's also the same disadvantage to put ACSI in 3rd order.
As there's possibility this year COP not exactly the same with indicative (means can be higher or lower) so if that order is your son's best choice of preference, then you can go with it.

From MOE website: https://www.moe.gov.sg/secondary/s1-posting/school-choices/complete-option-form
\"For priority admission to the affiliated secondary school, your child must indicate that school as the first choice. However, admission is still subject to the availability of places. Some schools may also have additional qualifying criteria for their affiliated primary school students.\"

You need another safety net to replace the affiliated school.[/quote]Thanks for the quick reply. The affiliated school cut-off for affiliates is 16 and for non-affiliates is 12. So my choice #5 should be a really safe fall-back? :xedfingers:

Thanks for your quick reply. Really headache. For tie-breakers using choice of school, it was not clear to me from MOE's communication if they consider choice of program or choice of school for dual-track schools.
