Thanks! So 7 weeks later will be just tally DD2 results with the COP range of those schools and list the choices out in preferral order. Short and sharp, no need jjww speculating too many irregulated variables of individual schools.

Since many find the PSLE Maths paper easy this year, that means overall, many tend to do very well.

After moderation -

does it mean that in order to secure an A *, one need at least a minimum of above 95 marks (Raw score) , instead of just hitting 91, on the dot (boundary) ?

If Raw score is just 91, could end up with an A, instead of A *, since many tend to do well for Maths ?

I have compiled in table form here to make it easier for parents. Sorted in descending order of COP. You just need to eliminate those schools that are not for your child’s gender, not in your travel zone etc, and you will have a shortlist of 6 choices. https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=91634&start=10

This is one of my concerns too. Easy papers benefit the average-ability students. High ability ones tend to be overly confident, complete the papers too fast and make careless mistakes. In the end, they are the ones who end up getting an A whereas average-ability students getting an A*. For HA students, it is better to have a few difficult heuristic questions.

Later will just let DD2 \"handle the truth\".

Should we shortlist the schools based on their prelim results?[/quote]Yes it’s a good practise/trial run. Then you can also plan to attend those schools’ Open House to look see + ask questions.
