schools are not evil, you can get them to look at your results from your previous school, im sure you are not the first simillar case, they should take your results into consideration, after all, they also need to come up with a valid excuse to satisfy your parents should they anyhow place you, and telling mum and dad that your results frm the previous school dont count... well... i dont think mum and dad can take it lying down lol(unless they can!)in cases like this, an letter to MOE ought to fix it, or many many letters till they fix it

furthermore, you realise that you would lose all your cca points?, although im not sure its "cca" sub category or all your points, im, sure its gonna be a pain in the ass for you to get it back, cus there is like 2 points for participation, dunnow how many for achievement, bla bla bla
i've had friends who are transfers tell me their horror story, and only like one and two out of many managed a A2 for their CCA grade, so if you choose to change school now, you stand a chance to lose that -2 from your o level grade...well unless some trouble is brewing in your school and you really really want out or you are really really smart to not care about -2 points, you should seriously consider changing schools,
one of my class mates changed during sec2, and the last thing i saw was that new school started a "dillon haters club" on facebook, that d00d was quite awwrite with us, then he whined and his parents bribed and he ended up in ACS independent

Does all schools do that to all students that want to transfer? If the result does not count, is that possible the school will provide tests whether the student reach the requirement of the school in order to transfer to that school?

not all schools behave simmilarly, because im from a private school which recives partial funding, it tend to behave
differently from government schools on certain things due to the different management style adopted by the school

for all i know, unless you came from overseas, or missed every single exam if your current school, there is no reason to not have results from this year, because i believe one test does not neccesariliy represent your entire year's worth of academic results, for example, a normally slackish student constantly failing his exams might just buck up for this one, and hence get good results, thus schools would need results on which to backup your choice of subjects. which is most commonly found in your report book, no school is stupid enough to generate trouble for themselves
on the entrance exam thing, im afraid i dare not make assumptions, all my transfer friends have their sec1 ,sec2 results, even the scholars from china, whom i belive have the results from their school in xi'an, you would have to ask the particular school which you want to transfer to, just be sure to get an adult to do it, an average office staff does not take students too seriously, i've had bad experiences...
lastly, even if they place you in the lousiest combination possible, you still have Additional,elemantry maths, combined humanities, which is geography and social studies
mother tounge , english, and one combined sciences, chem-bio, bio-phy, phy-chem, unless your a humanities freak, you can otherwise use your combined science to apply for probation into pure sciences classes, you only need to score well for your CA1 if im correct, although im not sure of the works for humanities, never heard of a pure geography probation before



ps- sorry for late reply, im studying for my o lvls, which is next week, and i hardly touch anything related to computers nowadays

pps, i saw some PRC students taking exams when i finished my eng paper dis monday, and im sure that is how they get arranged into classes, so maybe the school you want to go to has this system as well?

you shld make a trip down personally to the sch which you intend to transfer to. bring along your report book and any other certs which might be useful eg.those that can showcase your talents etc

last time my fren wanted to transfer to a sch super near to her hse after sec 2 and she went to see the sch's principal tgt with her mum. The principal was willing to accept her after reviewing her results and her reasons for transfer. regarding the choosing of subjects, you may not be able to get your ideal subject combi due to reasons like class size alrdy full and that u're a transfer student.

so it will be good if u can request to speak to the principal or alternatively the HODs...
