I don't see why there is a need to do so.
Are we going to stop honoring successful people?
They also do not allow banding of secondary schools now.
How to make an informed decision when applying to secondary schools now?
My gal's sec school don't even tell them their position in class.
They don't even publish the average GPA score.
Everything is thru hearsay.
How to know where your child stands in this kind of situation?
Sometimes one needs a wake up call if one is faring badly.

For both my kids, I went to the school with them.
It was a nail biting experience.
Worse feeling than signing OTP.

yes, it is good to be with them,
this is a very important milestone at this age for them
if they are good, encourage them
if not up to expectation...be by their side

Jobless but still got regular income, so not counted as jobless.
Actually come to think of it, those school mates who were high flyers in school, most of them are earning comfortable salaries but some of those who did average in school are making obscene amount of money now.
I got 246 for PSLE. My mum teared cos I couldn't get into SAP school like my elder siblings. But when I got 8A1s for my O levels, she stopped worrying thereafter. And when it came to work, I always feel i underperform and concluded myself as just a below avg worker. I m better on my own.

I agreed :p
I damn confused.... :confused: u have so many props, u analysed like crazy, u argue very well... And u underperform??:confused: :confused:
The only thing I can see is only the QE portion... If not, how to underperform??

In life or work place there always be one leader , even among the elite , Depend on your playing field as such ... So depend who your competitors are..

Oh.. I think my EQ is alright, haha, otherwise I would have tonnes of issues with my tenants (except for that Indian lady)
What I meant earlier was that a student who excels in sch does not necc mean he will excel in his job. This is becos in sch, he only needs to work hard, study smart, sit for his own exams and his efforts would be largely reflected in his results. But at work, there are many other factors involved besides his own capabilities and efforts ie. joining the right industry, joining the right organization, meeting the right boss, working with the right team mates and TIMING etc. yes u r right EQ is impt but I believe there much more than that...

Bro, I share my humble experience....
1. Understanding the human behavior - when dealing with people, u need to know body language... If u master that art - visual, vocal... U can tell how they think and 'predict' their behavior... This is a very important tool... Next analyse what type of person - driver, analytical, amiable, expressive... This are the 4 quadrants people fall into... There is another field which is flexible, in which a person can switch among the quadrants....
It will take me weeks to share w you... Read up on body language.... Then u can size a person out....
2. Political... Sometimes we get caught in that,.. U need to master this... Play politics for good and not evil... U will be rewarded... Learn when to agree and when to 'disagree' in a diplomatic fashion and still get your point across.
3. Opportunities... Some opportunities are given - size it when it comes. It is an art form to be able to spot opportunities.. With practices, it can be done... And u will hone the skill to be able to see opportunities...some opportunities are made... Demonstrating skills like ability to interact, analytical mind skills, ability to have your boss like u... So when opportunities come, it is yours.
4. Skills - the ability to have skills which your peers do not have which makes u shine above them. At the same time, having them like u... Or this is a fine art....
And the list goes on... But the above to me are key to success both in work and out of work...
TCSS here....
You are already way above your peers.... But work do form a very important part of our lives and it affects us because a main portion of our time awake is spent at work...

Bro, trust me, u will make it in life.... I was fortunate. I was thrown into the deep blue sea at work... When I was started work, whenever I spoke with my boss about a problem, his reply was, "so how". I :confused: , u boss wat, u suppose to provide me solution(that was in my mind)... Than he said, "ok, solve the problem". Then I, huh?:confused: :confused: and left his room and tried to figure out the answer... From then on, I never went to his room with a problem... Went in to TCSS and also a solution to a problem to get his blessings....
That is why I am so analytical..... Serious.... I have made tons of mistake only to learn.. So I am quite a hardened man.... I realized that life is about finding solutions and not bitching about the problem... Because bitching never solves the problem... Hahaha
Working life also requires luck, but u can also make luck... With skills and seizing and making opportunities... We control our destiny... The only thing we cannot control is death.... Be optimistic (people love to be with optimistic people), be different for the better - so u stand out from the crowd. Know what your boss likes - but don't go overboard to be deemed to be tripod...
I am an ordinary person like u.
Wish u best in your job, bro...
Take care !!!!!

thx bro nutnut for again selfless sharing.
i know and practise a lot of what he says. such that i hv often been labelled the blue eyed boy at work, with some jealousy from coworkers both male and female. am popular esp with female bosses and CEOs. they have been known to use the words CUTE, FUNNY and INTERESTING to describe me to other colleagues. Some even go straight to the point I REALLY ENJOY WORKING WITH YOU. so coworkers always ask me to present solutions or proposals in the CEO office. darn sianz. but it also taught me to really be prepared to answer all sorts of question plus dig into how the bosses minds work. so its a good thing.
however, those bitching and red eyes and back stabbing plus credit stealing etc as well as cmi bosses also another reason why i hesitate to rejoin the rat race. if i return, my objective will be two prong. to find value in what i m doing plus to boost up the reserves funds.
fxxk all those office politiking.

From my experience, parents go to the hall, principal announce pass rate and top students ( dunno whether now allowed or not), then instruct us how to apply for sec sch.
Then all proceed to the respective classrooms.
Parents stand outside the classroom and wait.
Teachers will hand the result slip to the kids in the classroom.

Bro, understand... The difficult portion is the peers... And that is anothe art altogether.... Once it is achieved, u move up the ladder, they become ex-peers and u have another set of new peer to adapt and work with but your $ goes up... Now imagine u move up even higher, u have less peers to please. Hahahahaha...
But some people cannot do it, refuse to do it, or even think it is incorrect..
I always say, if the company requires this and u cannot adapt, then move on to another company, because u can never progress.... If u refuse to move on, accept your destiny and Be contented..l but don't bitch, it will bring u sorrow...
Sad but true.... That's life... U need to know what makes u happy...

Now even the teachers are not allowed to tell their fellow teachers who is the top student or their scores. Schools will not longer be allowed to put up honour rolls in their lobbies displaying the list of top students for all the years. No more banners by schools annnouncing their results. What extreme MOE has gone to. If they are really sincere in reducing the pressure then why not do a balloting system for entry to all secondary schools. 4 A's can apply to certain category of schools and then ballot, 4A* another category, etc.

I somehow think that academic excellence may be stifling as the scholar having been at the top is afraid of falling and thus is not willing to take risks.
Those who have failed before are more adventurous and have the "nothing to lose" mentalit˙ so they are more willing to take risks and explore other options.

To share on the allocation of seats
If say, u are 240 and the cut off point is for school A is 242 and B is 238.
U put A as first choice but could not get in, you may not even get into B as well, as
1. all the seats in B could be gone,
2. depends on how many students opt second choice for B and their marks.
The second round for B could be higher.
Find out the school of choice what is their preferred CCA would be a good round for appeal.

u sure ? seen many new employee, with excellent results and yet produce shit work. And yet very proud and over confidents . Ask few questions in their presentation but fumble all the way.
I believe the right and positive attitude and mindset produce excellent worker instead.

It does not work this way any more. Used to be that way. Yours can be 6th choice and say the 6th choice school cut off is 240 and you got 241 you will still get iteven if do not get the first 5 choices.
My daughter got 254 with 3 A* and 1A in mother toungue. The MT score must be a borderline A. If not for MT or exempted can go RGS already. That is why I am a strong proponent of reducing weightage of MT in PSLE score.
T-scores aside, congrats all pupils and parents on clearing PLSE.
Expectations aside, the main goal is to enter the Sec Sch of choice.
Sec Sch aside, learn from experience and look forward to O and A levels!!

What was her second choice?
First choice is TKGS, right?- can still try and appeal.

I can tell u ... Singapore PSLE system really sucks big time
Just like bro radha's case, 3A and 1B is considered very good, if you go to UK or Australia, 3A 1B is to be proud of ... I am sure A* is unheard of in those countries :doh:
It is very unfortunate that even if you have one B ... your overall aggregate will drop significantly .. it is actually not fair because not everybody can be good at everything e.g. MT or Maths but does not mean the students do not have potential in what she/he is good at
The upper middle class migrate simply because of this :doh:

Singapore in 2050
The Singapore bi-lingual education system starts when pregnancy is announced, government funded pre-natal baby training program is fully subsidized to prepare you for KSLE (better known as Kiasu Lemmings Exam) at kindergarten
All parents must also sit for IQ/EQ test shortly after the child is born for early detection and intervention of non-conformance under the elitist parenting program by MOE
:doh:
Siao liao 223....my daughter very upset:doh:
As a dad, no matter what your thoughts are, you have to put up a very strong emotional front for your daughter.
Spend time listening, talking and encouraging your daughter. You don't want her confidence and self-esteem to be diminished by one exam.
You have to face the situation realistically now, so please don't give her false hope. Most probably she can't get to the school of her choice. You may try to appeal but prepare her for rejection.
This is only a suggestion. Talk to her about the other choices of schools and listen to her fears, expectations and concern.
If you can, drive her to a few schools to assess the environment, hear her input and then make an informed decision.
Do tell her that even if she does not like her new school, it's not the end. She can still do her best and if it's good enough, she can move to another school after secondary two.
Scoring 223 means she's weak in 1 or 2 subjects. Maybe she is also emotional and jittery during exams, which can affect scores. Ask her if she wants extra help in her weak subjects in secondary school and if she does, help her find one.
Advise her not to go round comparing PSLE scores as it really doesn't mean anything. People with high PSLE scores normally have more advantages and help in their earlier years but the advantage is not forever. As you go higher and higher, you only can depend on yourself and not tuition.
The basic truth in life is very simple. The road ahead is long and as long as we continually put in hard work and strive to do better, our efforts will never go to waste. Just don't give up on ourselves!

You're right. My daughter got 223, went to a neighborhood sec sch, did well to go JC and did well to go local U. Now in year 3. I can tell you PSLE does not accurately gauge a child. I know of one family, child aced PSLE, went to top Sec sch (those with through train type, bypassing O level). Last year A level and barely secured a placed in local U. The important thing is to keep faith in the Sec sch system, especially the neighborhood schools. Most of the teachers and principals are highly motivated and will go all out to help a child achieve his/her fullest potential.

It is a wonderful school.
My son was all set to apply for VS but he changed his mind when he went to TKSS. At that time he DSA into School of Science and Technology, but he gave it up for TKSS.

I think last time Anglican high got give chance to those express stream students, if they do well in sec 1/2, can jump to SAP stream in sec 3/4...
As i shared yday, i got 246 for PSLE and mom teared, cos i couldnt get into SAP. I also remember my dad 'comforting' my mum "一分钱一分货" , i am not as smart as my elder siblings since young, and he would be more than happy if i can get into poly ... no need to think of uni.
Guess what, i faired much better than my elder siblings in all my subsequent major exams... PSLE is not everything! The real game starts in working life

My daughter when biz ad in poly, scored a few 0.2 points shy of a place in local uni... But she likes it in Melbourne u.... She found out, other students who enrolled in courses that can score high gpa (not biz ad, something else) score 3.6 and entitled a place in commerce in local uni...
So map out the oath early if u don't want to send her overseas.. Do some research please.
Also in poly, the first term is very important. Once u do well in first term, the grade stays around there.

Which one shall I put as first choice? What's the best strategy? We are staying at east
my wife's strategy previously is to put the choices into 3 bands: 2 above, 2 same and 2 below score. so you will definitely hit a school of your choice. for the band above, you can try to appeal if there are suitable reasons / cca / etc.
good luck to all parents here!
1) good psle -> good sec sch with good O level results-> good JC with good A level results -> good uni grades
2) avg psle -> avg sec with avg O level results -> poly -> uni
Somehow i observe around me that those who took route 2 end up doing better than those who took route 1... And my analysis is becos those who took route 1 were living a more guided path .. thinking that as long as they study hard, get good results, go into good schs... they will be rewarded with a good job and career... Butwe all know tt once you are out in the working force you are on your own...
On the other hand, those who took route 2 may realise they need to be flexible and know how to wriggle around in search of their success.. so they end up doing better.

Affiliation is really important at all cross-over levels from P6 to Secondary and Secondary to College. No more models for those P6 students at secondary school. Wonder why do they make maths so completed at primary level. Algebra and calculus is more crucial at higher levels.

That's why I said before that scholars are very well guided and usually don't deviate in their paths. They are in a comfort zone.
Those who are not so academically inclined are more likely to take risks and thus may become more successful financially.
Not really true. Teenagers are different as compared to when they are in primary school. Attitude and change character can affect the performance of students. Have observed this in my son's school.

Could be his son excels in CCA. For top swimmers, many JCs would let them in even with COP in low 200s.
St Joseph vs anligan high, which one better? My son good in argurging :D
If they are still having Open House, suggest you and your son attend the Open House and see which one is a better fit for his interests. If he is good in a particular CCA, can see if either school is strong in it.

Victoria is in the East. Does your son have any CCA/special talents that might get him in on appeal? Worth talking to the principal if he does. Need to prepare the appeal as he would likely not get in because COP is significantly higher than his score (5 points off is a lot). SJI also not guaranteed to get in as his score is just on the COP and there may be many students with score of 242 and it will then go down to the decimal points (I can't remember is it two or three decimal points). You need to prepare another few sch with COP one or two points below 242 in case he doesn't get into SJI then there needs to be some back ups. And get ready the materials for the appeal. The chances of the appeal succeeding are not too bad as quite a few students will appeal for those with higher COP so there are usually some places available for appeal.

On the other hand, those who took route 2 may realise they need to be flexible and know how to wriggle around in search of their success.. so they end up doing better.
uncle, you very observative!

hope to hire more people work under me. :D

Victoria is in the East. Does your son have any CCA/special talents that might get him in on appeal? Worth talking to the principal if he does. Need to prepare the appeal as he would likely not get in because COP is significantly higher than his score (5 points off is a lot). SJI also not guaranteed to get in as his score is just on the COP and there may be many students with score of 242 and it will then go down to the decimal points (I can't remember is it two or three decimal points). You need to prepare another few sch with COP one or two points below 242 in case he doesn't get into SJI then there needs to be some back ups. And get ready the materials for the appeal. The chances of the appeal succeeding are not too bad as quite a few students will appeal for those with higher COP so there are usually some places available for appeal.
Victoria can only appeal online. No form, no seeing.... Ok, I will take the stragtegy Lifeline suggested, 2 higher, 2 near by and 2 below.
Moe system not iPad friendly. I want to see any school between 350 to 240, hard to filter out. Will use notebook to try.
How does first choice play the tole? Put Victoria as first or SJI?

u sure ? seen many new employee, with excellent results and yet produce shit work. And yet very proud and over confidents . Ask few questions in their presentation but fumble all the way.
I believe the right and positive attitude and mindset produce excellent worker instead.
think i need to correct myself: im trying to say tat those with good result r usually doomed to be a worker all their lives.they do not dare to venture out.

As the bros have explained, you can put Victoria as first and then SJI. Even if you don't get Victoria, it does not affect your chances of getting into SJI as the selection is strictly by cut-off point for each sch.
Really? But cop only 233 leh...
I went to anglican high, Victoria and SJI just now, A very Chinese type, V cold, admin everything don't know, can't tell, but in SJI, they are so friendly!
But very far from east.... Maybe change house next year?? :D
Don't look down on TKSS leh. It is in the same Band as SJI (Band 2). Considering that the COP is so much lower than SJI, it is very commendable that it can achieve results similar to SJI. Perhaps it is affiliated students from the SJI feeder sch that drag down their Band.
It is also in a more convenient location for you. The Sec Sch kids spend a lot of time in CCA/remedial classes etc. Don't underestimate the effect of travel time.
The Banding is L1B5 - gives you an indication of the average expectation for O level results from the cohort.

Yup, TKSS has achieved a high standard in recent years.
I also did not think highly of the school until I went there with my son.
Cos when my brother was studying there many years ago (at that time it was still TK tech), it was not a good school.
My son had 245 in his year and could get into VS, but he did not want to be last in the cohort.
He gave up his place at SST which he got into via DSA cos it was too far away.
I think TKSS has provided him a conducive educational environment which may not have been possible elsewhere.
:cheers5: sis buttercarp and her family are very pragmatic. They can see beyond the brand names and have made sensible decisions. A lot of Singaporeans are blinded by the brand names. I think most (perhaps 90% or more) of parents in your situation would have been very very happy to go for Victoria Sch or the SST and not even consider TKSS in their radar at all if they were in your situation.

How does first choice play the tole? Put Victoria as first or SJI?
This practice was in place years ago and it only applied to appeal cases. I don't know if it is still applicable.
If you want to appeal to the school, it will demand that you produce a copy of your school choices. If you list the school as first choice, then your chances of getting a place is higher than the person who list it as a second choice.
If you really like the school and intend to appeal, then first choice is very important.
Since you like Victoria and live in the east, then I would suggest the following.
List Victoria as first choice. High probability that he will not get in but you intend to appeal right? Since he likes to draw and most probably good at it, then try to appeal. What are the chances of appealing through art? Why not go to the school tomorrow and ask, before submitting the school choices.
He is borderline for SJI and may or may not get in with his second choice. Even if he gets in, you can still appeal at Victoria, how is SJI to know? No harm trying for a better option.
I will list Anglican as third choice as your child prefers an english environment.
If you are the type that will not take risk and your child prefers an english environment and really likes SJI, then I will list it as first choice. Even if the cut-off point is 242, a lot of 242 scorers may not get in. Then your chance of appealing successfully to SJI is higher.

Secondary school is a fresh start, so even if the child barely scrapes through the COP, I don't think he will be at a disadvantage.
I left it entirely to my boy to decide.
I brought him to VS, but that day being a Saturday, it was closed.
So I think there is no 缘分 with the school.
TKSS - went there for the first time. Just go and look see cos VS closed on Saturday.
After that, fell in love with the school.
Decided on it.
SST - he was very very keen - DSA first round did not get in, so disappointed, put on waiting list, waited and waited, then finally on 28 dec, the school called and said he was accepted.
By then, he already decided on TKSS, so turned down SST offer.
It was a tough decision.
One major factor was SST at that time was in a holding school for 2 years and did not have facilities.
Phew! Lucky he did not accept SST.
Imagine me driving up and down everyday if he went to SST and paying $300+ of school fees a month.
Thanks!

Sis teenage boys are very volatile. They can change a lot in these years. For some of them, being at the bottom of the cohort can spur them on to try harder with the peer pressure.
Also don't pre-judge Anglican High as being too "Chinese". My girl went to an SAP school and most of them were primarily English speakers anyway. In fact, the Chinese scholars (from China) were disappointed that it was so "English" unlike their expectations. If your kid is going to do Higher Chinese, it's better to be in a "Chinese" environment. He is more likely to pass Higher Chinese and get exempted from MT in JC (big big advantage - no point in struggling for another year for MT when it's not really your MT).

But he has no comfidence. he only expected himself to score around 230... He told me he really put effort in the last 2 weeks! :doh: I told him, if he really put effort for last 2 months instead of 2 weeks, he can archive 250 even 260 :o

Ask most girls who are deciding between TKSS and TKGS, I think they will choose TKSS.
Last time it was different, they would definitely choose TKGS.

Hi Eastlover, the COP for TKSS has been hovering around 233-235.
Networking in this school is also good.
There are a handful of foreign nationals in the school. They are very well behaved and have good family background.
There is only express stream in this school.
Hope this helps in your decision making.
Also for my son's year, I think more than 90% of the students chose TKSS as their first choice.

During my era, the top sec 1 class in TKSS was largely comprised of students with agg 250 and above. They were made up of:
- Chinese (who dont wish to enter SAP sch cos they find them too cheena)
- Malays/indians (who wish to take their MT as 1st Lang cos there was no SAP sch for them)
- Plus a few who didnt but almost made it to SAP (TK becomes their next choice).
I guess I am kinda out-dated cos i cant give any meaningful advice on the sch selection. What's more impt for your son is his own effort and the things & people he encounters along the way .... and the schs you have listed out shld be more or less the same (in standard) imho...
Anyway my JC class comprised students from AHS, DHS, VS, RI, TKGS, MGS, Maris S, Cedars, Pasir Ris Sec, Ping Yi and myself TK. And the top in class was this gal from Ping Yi, who is now doing very well in Shell Petroleum.

If the cut off is say 250 and your buy has 230 then I will say avoid going to the school as the difference will be obvious. But if the cut off is 250 and your boy has 245, let alone 250, go ahead and get into the school even if he is in last class as he will be able to cope and even outperform his peers. Some get high scores because they are particularly strong in one subject and in Sec schools where you have do more subjects, this person may end up doing poorly compared to someone who got 10 points lesser.

Anyway for those who go the 'O' level route , it is easier to score A1/A2 with moderation now because most of the competition has gone on to IP schools.
Yes TKSS is brass band. I would feel adrenaline gushing down my spine whenever i see them performing during national day or other major events. I feel proud being associated with this sec sch, but the feeling isnt even half as strong for my jc (even though it was one of the top jcs). Being in a top/good sch doesn necc give u good memories.
Yes good food is all around katong. Occasionally, i would still pop by the old tk campus (now a food court) for my meals. The authentic thai food is good, better taste but much cheaper than Thai Express.

Both my children went to the schools with the highest cut-off points. My son recently told me that he rather be in a big pound as a small fish and he had benefited from the exposure.
Daughter said that if she had to choose all over again, she would rather go to another school and have more friends. Too much competition, if not balanced properly, can breed aggression and hostility.
Fortunately I didn't influence them on their choice of school so my daughter can't blame me.
So, the answers again depend on the individual and his/her personality.
Different strokes for different folks.
Do present all the pros and cons to your son and listen to him. After all, he will be the one attending school everyday, and it helps if it is his choice.

SJI isn't exactly a "rich man" school.
They have a good mix of children from different backgrounds.
If you ask about ACS, then i would feel abit more worried, not so much about the background of the family, but whether my kid will adapt to the culture there as most are from the affliated school and may have their own clique.

Last time my school transfer problem students to SJI instead of sacking them. Guess its a way of giving 2nd chance but the school i feel should own and fix the problem instead of taking a shortcut out. Some of my schoolmates had cleptomania and were transferred out.

Last time my school transfer problem students to SJI instead of sacking them. Guess its a way of giving 2nd chance but the school i feel should own and fix the problem instead of taking a shortcut out. Some of my schoolmates had cleptomania and were transferred out.
Your school was ACS?
And SJI was willing to accept and give them a second chance ?

I wasn't from ACS. Not sure how SJI accepted them though. Just guessing: maybe cited reasons like cannot cope, performance or stress.
Yup, TKSS has achieved a high standard in recent years.
I also did not think highly of the school until I went there with my son.
Cos when my brother was studying there many years ago (at that time it was still TK tech), it was not a good school.
My son had 245 in his year and could get into VS, but he did not want to be last in the cohort.
He gave up his place at SST which he got into via DSA cos it was too far away.
I think TKSS has provided him a conducive educational environment which may not have been possible elsewhere.
It is not true TK Tech was not a good school, not sure which era you were referring to. My cohort most of the students qualified for the top 5 JCs, the top student attained a perfect score of 9 A1s. Two other students scored 8A1s. Today, that student with 9 A1s is a partner in one of the top legal firms in Spore. One quarter of my class alone made it into Accountancy in NTU, and the Top Accountancy graduate for my year also came from TK. My batch at TK also produced a few doctors, first class honours in Engineering etc etc.
From what I read in this Forum, what is consistent is, whether from the TK Tech or TKSS era, most students who passed through its gates were happy and enjoyed their time there.

In the 1980's I believe it was not so good. My brother was from there.
That's why it is marvellous that the school can transform from a humble neighbourhood school to a band2 school over a short period of time.

Very nice!:)

I was there in the early 90s, and I remember it was always ranked around the 25th position, plus or minus, for those yrs I was in. So not sure that was considered good or not so good .....
But having students with 8A1s and above was not uncommon during my era. And contradictorily, I heard the standard dropped towards the late 90s ...
And at least 2 of the principles during that era eventually held the appointment of Director General in MOE. They were quite aggressive in setting targets and they wanted everyone in the top class to get at least A1 or A2 in English.

I think one went on to become the principal of RI and then promoted to Director General in Moe. Right?
bro zea. principals not principles. :p

Opps thanks unclecarb .. :ashamed1: :ashamed1: :ashamed1:
Yes the one that moved on to RI was Mr Wong Siew Hoong. The other one was Ms Seah Jiak Choo .. His predecessor

I was there in mid 80s, stds were rising every year, and the school made headlines in the Straits Times when it made it to the top 20 secondary schools. Go check out the archives. Currently up and coming Acting Minister Lawrence Wong also old boy from the 80s batch.
I believe Nicole Seah is from much younger batch....
i only went TKTech to take my Technical class
woodworking and plastic 'surgery' and metallogy lol

There are maths, science, english, chinese and higher chinese (depending on P4 results) subjects.
A basic question : what are the subjects (and weightage if any) that contribute to the total 300 marks in PSLE ?

In the past it was (2 x English + 2 x Chinese + 1 x maths + 1 x science) x 0.5
Not sure about now ...

Yup, that was what I heard too.
Languages double weightage.
However if the kid is good in math and science and if the paper is super hard, he will benefit as he will do much better in these 2 papaers than his peers and his scores will be very much to the right of the bell curve.
My son's year the math paper super difficult, scienc i think was also difficult and therefore i think that helped him a lot in pulling his score up despite him not being good in his languages.

cannot stress the importance of languages enough. one, it directly affects the quality and effectiveness of communication in both social and business contexts. two, it also directly impact his or her level of absorption and understanding of all other subjects.

My two nieces scored 260 and 270 for this PSLE. One studying in MGS while the other is far away in sengkang. The one at MGS will be continuing in MGS as home is just a short walk away while the one in sengkang has to take bus and mrt train to get to Nanyang Girls. The morale of the story is to stay in the central area. Otherwise, your child will take more than an hour to get to school everyday.:doh:

English Lang and MT is based on 200 marks unlike Maths and Science is 100 marks each for the examination papers but the weightage is equal (25% for each subject) when computing the T-score. So put equal emphasis on all subjects.

i joked to my hubby, if my son secured Anglican High, we have to buy one unit at Casa Merah, 1.5Mil ; if go Victoria School, then D15 unit, 2 Mill; if go to SJI, then some where around Steven Road, 3Mil very old project :scared-3:
My son said, why must move house??? he can take school bus. worse, 6 years total taxi fee is still much cheaper than the house in D10 hahaha :D :D
My colleague rented a place near Bishan because her son got into RI. :scared-4: It may not be a bad investment as the grandchild may be studying in those good primary school like my niece from MGS. Both my children are from nearby primary school that has affiliation all the way to JC. I have condos near NUS, SMU, and Ngee Ann poly if they choose to go there for tertiary education.

I kinda enjoyed my 4yrs of bus journey to my sec sch. I had to change 2 buses. It's the time I got to socialize and interact with my sch mates outside the classroom, and also finally a breakaway from my own neighborhood. All these form part of my fond memories in my teenage years..

Congrats. Any of those sch would be alright for your son. Ultimately it is down to him to perform.
He is right, more worth it to take taxi than move to D10. or else engage a driver if he's not your only child - this might be a more practical solution. Sch bus would take a long time to get to D10 sch...he would have to wake up very early in the morning. Not all sec sch have sch bus available. You have to check with individual sch.

* ACS Barker accepts affiliated students only
** Cedar Girls' and Victoria School have started accepting Integrated Program (IP) students at secondary 1 level. Cedar's cut-off for the IP is 258, while Victoria's is 255.
The race for brainy students will heat up when 6 other schools start accepting IP students at secondary 1 level, starting in 2013. These schools include St Joseph's Institution, Anglo Chinese School (Independent), Singapore Chinese Girls', Catholic High, St. Nicholas and Methodist Girls'.
The original data provided by MOE came with the median PSLE scores of each school's new cohort, and most of them are basically additions of 2-9 points from the minimum cut-off points as shown above. The definite trend is therefore that the majority of students take cut-off points as one of their main considerations in their school selection.

If your son really wants VS, then put it as first choice.
It will not jeopardize his second choice.
If cannot get VS, can always appeal and see how.
So he not considering TKSS as his top 3 choices?
Actually TKSS students >50% are from well to do families, considering the cars their parents drive and the stuff they own and quite a handful are from our neighbouring countries (in my son's class got Burmese, Vietnamnese, Korean, China, Indonesian, Malaysian).
However, according to my son, his friends are not hao lian. They, or at least his friends don't look down on friends that do not own branded stuff.
