I would just like to report that we GOT IN !!!!
I was so happy that I cried
The school is not very popular. The top PSLE score for this year was 160 I think (best this year overall was 180 something and best ever was 194). I'm anxious to see how my son will fare. He is very bright and understands most things well, but he is a terrible test taker, he makes a lot of careless mistakes.
I'm so glad I don't have to home-school him anymore since English is not my first language and we have reached the point where I had to either look online for some help or my son would correct me, how embarrassing is that?!? He would often say, "That's OK mom, parents can make mistakes too. " How could I lecture him about his careless mistakes after that?
So anyway, yay for us
As for everyone else who is still waiting, we just just got in and there were some other people coming in after us too. So it is not over just yet, there is still more time. Talk to the front desk person, ask how many kids there are on the waiting list, get friendly and try to find out if you stand a chance. Some were very talkative, so I have found out that you have the most chance at the less popular school closest to your home.
