[quote=Anitha_d post_id=2047803 time=1637742456 user_id=122780]With AL6, is it safe to put RI as first choice. Pls advice.

Be very careful as the system has changed. If you miss RI, then you will be disadvantage when you go for your second choice. Those 4 points, 5 points and even 6 points with First choice will be ahead of you. They will enter first as you are choosing the school as second choice. And if you choose a strong school like HCI in your second choice and miss it again; you will be even more disadvantaged in the 3rd choice.

Not only the 4 pointers and 5 pointers are ahead of you; but the 6 pointers with first choice and 6 pointers with second choice will enter first before you. So your 3rd choice school, you must be very sure even with 6 points and choosing school as 3rd choice you can get in else will go to fourth choice........

The system has changed.

First choice must take some care. Second maybe.
Third you are free to let go and whack…
There are very little 6 point COP schools left after the first 2 options, ie what you put as 3rd choice is more or less confirmed your final fallback position.[/quote]
TRUE! But also good for parents to know that COP can change! The cop parents received as indicative guide is based on psle 2020. This year psle 2021, COP can go up or go down...........

Wondering.. if at AL5, I put RGS as first choice and MGS as second and RGS goes for balloting at 5 and MGS at 6, then will they make me ballot for RGS or offer me MGS straightaway. If RGS, and I lose ballot then MGS place will be lost as well? If MGS, then on what basis will they decide who to give their second preference. Sorry I am very confused.🤔

If RGS does balloting at 5 points then you will go through balloting. If you are not successful in the RGS ballot, you will get into MGS if MGS ballot at 6 points. This is because you scored 5 points and even though you will be disadvantage to those who score 5 points and choose MGS as first choice; you are still above the 6 pointers. Thus you will get into MGS ahead of the 6 pointers who will go through balloting at 6 points................

Hi mummies,

My DS scored AL7 (M), HCI as first choice, follows by NJC, Victoria IP, Cath High.
My question here, is it too risky to put hci and njc as first and second choices here ? Since their cop range 4-7?
Given that this cohort has many elite kids according to the distribution poll. Please enlighten me ! TIA

The results is good. But the system this year has changed. If you miss HCI, for the second choice; those with same points as your son but choose NJC as first choice will have advantage over your son. Those 7 points will go in first before your son. And if you miss NJC, then for Victoria IP; those 7 pointers with first choice as Vic IP and second choice will have advantage over your son.

So the 4 pointers, 5 pointers and 6 pointers will go in first. And then the 7 pointers with First choice will go in. And 7 pointers with 2nd choice will go in. And then your son with other 7 pointers with third choice will be considered. And if there are many and not too many places left; your son will go through balloting with the rest of 7 pointers with third choice and see who get in. So the risk increases with each choices that you miss.

Not sure Mean or Median is a better gauge of standard of JCs; as info can guide parents and students’ choices.


Some JCs have Median 84, 85, 86 etc etc


Median 85 means Half of the JC scored 85 points and above. The upper half.

Median 86 means Half of the JC scored 86 points and above. The upper half.

Mean 85 is the Total score of all the students divided by the total number of students; the mean or average score is 85.

For Median of 85 or 86, if the student is in the Top 50% it is good. For Mean of 85, some students could be scoring very high and some not as high resulting in an average score of 85.

Last year Teck ghee psle highest was 271, Anderson was 272. yup, teck ghee does give alot of work to the students. They are trying very hard to do well and be successful, I believe.


Anderson does not focus on marketing actually. Just that parents choose to go there.

Guess one reason could be because they have a IMAS program which might help to aim towards DSA. Also, they are like SAP school - Higher Mother Tongue. Some parents prefer HMT. Anderson tends to focus on other areas of development.

Some schools actually kids do homework till 12am and still can’t finish; parents have to help them do it. Lots and Lots of homework even at P1.

Many are competitive and has to be that way to be successful. Ultimately if school produce Top PSLE, they will be known.

Not sure if it is best.


But Academic quite okay; last year 272.

The only neigbourhood school, the second language is higher Mother tongue; just like SAP school.

It has IMAS, talent development program which somehow also help to zoom kids towards DSA.

On the Day of BALLOTING. principal will read out names of students and put in into the box. 2 Tickets for Singaporean and 1 for PR. And he will then put into the Box and shake it and mix it up.


And draw out 36 names.
