FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN CHOOSING THE 6 SCHOOLS


1) Choose schools that are comparable to your child’s academic ability

Reference

- Child’s academic performance in school - Secondary schools’ cut-off scores in previous year

• Include a range of schools in the selection

Rank order of choices School

1st & 2nd choices Cut-off above her T-score (no more than 5 points)

3rd – 4th choices Cut-off within her T-score

5th – 6th choices Cut-off below her T-score (5 – 10 points below)


• Note the cut-off points will change depending on demand for places & vacancies

• If your child’s PSLE T-score is near the school’s 2015 cut-off, her chance in being admitted to the school is slimmer compared to those whose T-score is much higher


2) Child’s personality / character 3) Distance 4) School programmes & school culture 5) Affiliated schools
