Last year, a lot of 23x-24x (relatively easier paper).
Why some 23x schools’ COP jumped as high as +6 ?

This year, also a lot of (22x 23x, 24x).
Will jump too ?

Last year I think the paper was relatively easier. As a results, the T-scores distribution was very flat. Many concentrated in the 23+ to 250 range. So the competition for the 23+ and 24+ schools became very very fierce.

Hi all,

RI produce more president scholars then HCI, can i say that RI is better than HCI? Some comment that RI students are snobbish but in actual fact HCI students are equally or more snobbish. Anyone has any comments?

MOE set the HMTL criteria :


• Ranked among the Top 10% of the entire PSLE cohort, or

• In the Top 11%- 30% band who meet the language criteria (i.e an A* grade in the MTL or at least a Merit in the HMTL)

for this year (2019 Psle),
if a student score 225, is he inside the Top 30 % band, offered Eligibility letter to do HMTL (Sec 1).?

Any idea about cut off point for RI this year?

My prediction is 260. I am just guessing.

Which in this case, has no correlation

There is. There was a drop of ESIS COP (year in P6, 2012 to 2013) of 4 when RV COP (year entering Sec 1, 2013 to 2014) was dropped by 5 pts.

Yes there is correlation , take a look at COP with respect to ESIS

2019 - 252 (-8)
2018 - 250 (-12)

2008 - 254 (-10)
2007 - 253 (-7)[/quote]What correlation is there? That it’s always below ESIS?

The differences are all over the place, from -6 to -12. With a good correlation, you should be able to derive a coefficient that could reasonably predict the behavior of the COP - except that in this case, we can’t. There are simply too many factors at worked beside ESIS. Just for example, ESIS is around the same this year as last (+1), yet many are saying COP will raise by as much as 5 points? Objectively, we should be seeing no changes in most, if not all the school’s COP this year.

Personally, I won’t be surprised if RV COP raise by 1 or even 5, if peasants comment about RV doing a lot of positive things in the west (whatever they are) bears fruit. That said, I would also not be surprised if RV COP drop by 1 or more. Who knows, the East and the North (who always remembers) may have had a nett increase of 250 pointers compared to those living in the West this year. In such a scenario, being the best school in the (Far) West may not be that advantageous.

I think the COP for this year will continue to be in the 25x range. Got president scholar from there leh...... don't play play.....
