With a score of 190 for psle .. which will u opt for? Express stream for a not so ideal sch or Normal Academic for a better school?

I agree with Anonymous above. I was one of those who had the option to go to Express and Normal Academic, and at the advice of the principal, I went to Express. I was glad I did that because I went on to improve and topped the class. In fact, later on I had another similar situation - to choose between JC and polytechnic. I chose polytechnic and till now, I regretted my choice. I now strongly believe in going for the best education to the best of your ability.
