Bentan:

Students from NT (Normal Tech) can go as low as 70. So you have to do a lot more homework if you decide to let her join the NT class. May I suggest the following considerations:

1) You should assess your niece carefully and ask her what she wants. If your niece is not ready for Poly or JC, NT is probably the better choice as NT students are destined for ITE. Whereas if she is keen to do better than ITE, NA should be the choice for her.

2) PLMS is a good school. Check with them what is their lowest for NT. The higher the better since your niece is at the high range. Check also with them what is the criteria of converting your niece to NA at Sec 2. Some school such as ACS Barker allows good students to be converted at Sec-2.

Hope the suggestions are acceptable. Drop me a note at http://singapore.math-chinese-tutor.com/contact-us/ if you need more assistance.

I understand it is possible to convert from NT to NA. Is it applicable to all schools or only for some schools?

Personally, I feel going to NA at neighbourhood schools is better since NA has a chance to go to express if she can perform extremely well. I took this route then. Also, this year, most of top psle performers are from neighbourhood schools too.

Thanks to Bentan and jazzie69 for your views on my niece's case. Will discuss with my sis and niece

Hi parents, would like to hear your views on my niece's case. She scored only 163 for her psle and now my sis and I are in a dilemma - to try to put her in some neighbourhood schools in Normal Acad stream or try Paya Lebar Med or CHIJ SJC but in Normal Technical stream? Which option would be better?


Appreciate your advice.

My son is under phase 2B as well You're right, maybe we should arrange a meet up during orientation. I realise that the MSH thread is very active as compared to other threads in this forum :celebrate: Hope it'll stay this way

Hi mummies,


I’m so happy to find a support group for MSH here. My son is also going to P1 next year.

Hi, I'm wondering what are the chances (for 2009 regn) to get into SJI if we're not within 2km and under Phase 2B?
