2019 P1 Registration Exercise for 2020 In-take

[zac's mum]

There’s no point to check MOE website for update today. Past years trends all indicate that there’s no update on the first day of online registration. Update will only be tomorrow evening.

It is difficult to monitor stats from school because I do not think the school gets real time data from online registration. So it's quite a shot in the dark. No point waiting until last day, worst is you do not know how many parents really think they can game the system by registering last day in school, then you appear at a \"choice\" school and see more than a hundred waiting in queue ... and it's also too late to register online then.

this is what i worry too..my friends who executed this withdraw-and-re-register move did it when there was no online registration then so the stats were real-time and updated. Both parents took leave and one plonked themselves at the office of the target school while the other parents waited at the withdrawing school, and executed it within the last hour.

Ok! I’ve taken leave for tomorrow! Hopefully got luck for our first child.

Online registration ends the day before last. You can only register in person on the last day. And on the last day, only schools have the most up to date info. And yes, schools will update / include the registration info from online on the last day.

Register first since already should have a fair idea of which schools you are going for. Can pull out later if balloting odds are really bad. :xedfingers:

How to pull out. Online is register until Wed.. And Thursday for school. Mean now register online. Then Thursday go to the school check the percentage of balloting.. If feel no chance withdraw and go other school to register?

Hi Wanted to check, I was not able to register online today for my daughter - we got an error message that the our record is not there in the database. All three of us (me, my husband and my daughter) are PRs, however we got the PR 6 months after my daughter was born. Is that the reason?

If you are not PR at the point of birth, you need to register in person.

yes. since the rules state that at the time of child's birth both parents must already be SC/PR. To use the online system.
you would need to go to the school of your choice to register.
