atutor2001:

During my kids' time the system is like that :


Top 290 get to choose first (definitely get her 1st choice)
2nd 287 turn to choose (if her 1st choice school has only 1 place and is already taken by the 290, then he/she gets her 2nd choice)
3rd 287 turn to choose (there are decimal places behind 287 that we don't get to see) - (if her 1st choice is not the same as that of the front 2 kids, then he/she gets her first choice)

So actually for those with high score, but miss the COP of TOP favourite schools, there is no harm putting them as first choice and their more realistic option as 2nd choice but I would say no point, sure cannot get one. (Unless the top 600 students somehow decide against RI & RGS)

The system is fair because the queue in awarding the choice is based on the aggregate.

However, for those in the \"mid-range aggregates\" where there are many with same score, don't play play. Your choice will decide who get the school.

E.g Ah Beng and Ah Seng both got exactly 230 and wish to go to Sure Good Sec (SSS). Ah Beng put RI as first choice (for fun) and SSS as 2nd Choice while Ah Seng put SSS as 1st choice. When it reaches their turn, there is only 1 place left in SSS. That place will go to Ah Seng because he put it as first choice.

I think it's not like that. If ah beng is 230.11111 and ah seng is 230.2333, ah seng will get to choose first. Nobody will have the exact score ie 230.000. So ah seng 1st choice SSS if COP is 230, ah seng will be given SSS. When ah beng turn, he'll get 3rd choice since ah seng got the last seat for SSS.

Hi


Anyone know of appeal for results review returned out to be with better results?

VitoRelax:

Though I do not really agree about the prestigious part (as compared to RJC or RI or HCI), I agree with mathsparks about the \"guinea pigs\" things. Don't think they have much experience running it.


Based on my friend's comments, he told me that his daughter complained that the IP course is quite haphazardly organized.

Yes, pls go in with eyes open. My opinion is that with 263, better go RI or HCI.

Cheers

What about the students who go to NUS High and the new science and technology high school ?
They are more or less guinea pigs too right ?
These schools don't offer A levels or IB but their own exam right ?

You're right, they're guinea pigs too! But the BIG difference is that they dont take A levels (NUSH) and hence, can't be compared with the masses who take the A levels. If comparison can't be made, it's anyone's guess how selection for limited U places are done. However, seeing how NUSH is \"affiliated\" to NUS, I somehow get a feeling that those kids would get priority. :?
