Thanks for the info! We were unlucky in the ballot then.

I called the school and they confirmed that the COP is 6. Appeal is unlikely to succeed since chances of accepted students leaving are next to none. Oh well...

Appealed (with AL6) and got called up for interview, which was yesterday and 2 hours later received SMS --> Successful.

Sorry, one more last question. To which school she was posted to during s1 posting before her appeal.
Thank you.

A neighbourhood school in the western part of Singapore.

By the way, she didn't apply for RGS during S1 posting? Is RGS is her one of the choice?

RGS was not one of her choices.

I am checking for a Friend what is the criteria to get the prestigious Prime Minister Book Prize Award which is given to about 10 outstanding bilingual pupils who completed PSLE and based on the Eng/ MT results and/or based on overall results? Can anyone help to answer? This award seems to require teacher’s nomination to submit to MOE. How does this work ? Anyone can shed some light ?

Sharing from my own personal experience. The potential Prime Minister's Book Prize candidates are selected by the MOE itself, no nomination from schools or teachers. Main selection criteria is primarily good results for both English and MT. Since the award is for bilingualism, any additional awards/accomplishments/achievements for both the English and MT domain would attract the attention of the selection committee.

Selected students will then be required to attend an interview (at MOE Grange Road), and prior to the actual interview, a short reflection, together with submissions of the student's achievements/accomplishments/awards/etc will need to be submitted through an online platform. That is all that needs to be done on the student's end.

As for the interview, it will be done in both English and MT, in front of a panel of interviewers. Interview slots are by strict appointment time and limited to a ½ hour block for each student. Questions asked are rather broad based, which I believe to be just a GTKY (Get To Know You) session. Then it's the waiting game...........for the coveted brown Manila envelope with the words On Government Service emblazoned in front.

Hope that helps and clarifys.

Does any one get in RI via appeal? I received an email yesterday from RI said our appeal is unsuccessful. My DS's sore is 257 , as sam as COP of RI.:(

The decimal part of the aggregate score, which is not made known, determines the success or not of the appeal.
