hi chenmama, your choices is very near to many parents. 1st choice higher COP, 2nd choices and above, within the range. From your list, I can say he stands a high chance to be posted to 2nd choice.


Last year, we did the same thing and my dd was posted to her 2nd option.

I know its like too late to change my decision now but i still wanna know more abt my daughter’s future school. is RVHS a good school? My daughter scored a 260 inclusive of the 3 points from HMT. would it be stressful? What if she fails her "a" lvls and cnt make it to the university? Can she retake the A levels?

Hi Linda, there is a thread about RVHS. You can find more details there

Generally, its just a transition period to get use. More subjects, longer hours, new friends, new environment. Once they are settle down, I don't see any big problem arise. I see your daughter is good in Chinese (with a 3 points from HCL). Its not easy to get 3 for HCL. Most probably, your daugher would be in 1C next year.

My girl is in RVHS, year 2 next year.

Hi Daisyt,
My DD COP is 8 points below RV COP, do u think there's a chance appealing a place for her in RV? What niche/CCA they r looking for?
thanks in advance.

hi,


as a tutor, I have taught many students from various schools. And I have to say I am really impressed with the students from Bukit Panjang Govt High. This year, I had about 7 boys from that school.All are in Normal Academic (sec 5). However, their ability to grasp concepts is far better than my ‘O’ Levels students. Also, looking through many prelim papers, I feel that Bukit Panjang’s paper is among the most difficult papers and many students still achieving fair results. Therefore, if you have to choose a government school in the west, i should think Bukit Panjang.
