:rahrah: Thank You Mummies & Daddies who have shared a thing or two in this forum. We have benefited in many ways from all the contributions given. My DD has managed to maintain her record as being the Top Scorer in her school with an aggregate of 272 (incl. HMT) :love: Thank You Once Again! :rahrah:

:congrats: that's really a great result.

Interestingly the GE Branch requires everyone who has no CO to name your top 3 choices on the spot, the teacher will take down the choices, key in a laptop and submit to the GE branch.

Will that make any difference in getting your first choice ?
If you have no choices the teacher will suggest schools that they think you have a good chance.
Everyone is required to submit the 3 choices before they are allowed to go home.

that sounds like good news for GE students. They may get priority in school postings. Good for them.

Rosyth top 7 scorers range from 270-274.

Top GEP student from ACS(P) with T-score 282.
Top Eurasian student from ACS(P) with T-score 270

My DS admitted to ACS(I) with T-score 256 with pass for HMT. No chance to appeal to RI and HCI. However, DS is happy, at least he can go to ACS(I).

Thank you

My DD also managed an aggregate of 272 (incl. HMT)...I think she's a little disappointed still...haha not the top 10 scorers in her school.

DD's school top score exclude HMT, 274 (tied by many for that spot) all 10 top scores 270 & above...and about 45% achieved above 250 (!!!!) quite impressive despite no single high top scorer

GE has done reasonably well in her school... 8/9 out of the top 10 from GE...and for her class of 25 students, all achieved A* for Maths, 23 got A* for Sc, 2 got A, 20 got A* for El, 5 got A and 20 got A* for CL, 5 got A.

I was like
:scared: = :skeptical: = :shock: = :siam:
:congrats: YOU ARE TOO PRO.!!!!!!

This PSLE is quite strange eh...

I expect : I got
A : B (english)
A* : A (chinese)
B : A (math)
B : A* <-------i really couldn't believe (science)
Merit : Merit (Higher Chinese)
230 : 238
Anyways, i am happy that i could qualify for some good schools

Our schools' prelim top scorer dropped to top 10 for PSLE. So :shock:

It's strange indeed :scratchhead: it is my DS's first time getting 4A* !!
He never scores more than 90 marks for his language subjects since p4 .
