If the results are like last 2 yrs, the cut off should not change much. The new IP schools may have a cutoff around 255 i guess. Not sure abt tjc. I wonder if the no appeal rule imposed last yr will affect the cutoff

Had been reading through this thread and the individual RGS and NYGH threads. No nearer to coming to a decision.


Is that right? My dd wants to go RGS and DH and I want her to go NYGH, but we don't want to force her. Spoke to my friend whose dd is in sec 1 NYGH this year. She said she can tell me with great certainty that the teachers in NY are very good and caring.

I am sure the teachers at NY are good and caring. So are teachers at RGS. Both are good schools. One is a SAP school other is not. As simple as that. If you prefer a SAP school, go for NYGH.

[quote=\"dimsum\"]During my time (i was born in mid 70s), The PSLE cut off point for RGS was ALWAYS higher than NYGH. It's the no. 1 girl's school. So I was quite surprised when I read that for last year, NYGH's COP was the highest. Seems like there's a shift?

last year my friend with a dd who had a score of 252 got into NYGH a day after the PSLE postings were released. No sports dsa.just based on psle score.

Is she from NYPS?[/quote]The cut-off for Nanyangprimary school girls is even lower. You will be posted in the PSLE posting exercise itself. This girl was from other school.

U mean more kaisu = better ?? :scratchhead:

I meant \"in that sense\". Having KS parents, it's not necessarily bad thing, as long as parents know when to draw a line. There seems a correlation between how KS the parents are and how well the child perform in school. :roll:

It seems to me RGS's parents are more involved in their dd's school than those of NYGH's. Hope that will prompt more NYGH parents to share :boogie: .

My neighbor's DD reports the same. As for RGS, I am bit sad to read about one forum letter from the Straits Time regarding the teachers's sarcastic remarks to students . Just hope that was isolated case.[/quote]Isolated case.. Most teachers are very approachable.
