hi my child got 260 and Distinction for HMT.
Is it possible for her to get into RGS?

Just try RGS based on your 260, because we won't know whether this year COP still the same as last year, or move up or come down.

Sorry, RGS Non-SAP school, cannot apply your +3 distinction. Your girl has done very well in her Higher Mother tongue ! Congratulations, on her excellent 260 and also on her HMT

My daughter got 259+2. Her first choice is NYGH. Is that a little far-fetched? And her second choice is NJC which is more safe. Should she just put NJC first just to be safe?

[phtthp]

just put NYGH (your 259 +2 = 261) inside your list of 6 schools, because you never know. Can’t recall which year, but NYGH COP dropped to 258. Don’t mean that NYGH will also cut off at 258 this year, but sometimes unexpectation arise.



As long as your National JC is there inside your 6 choices to catch your daughter, she is safe. At 261, she can enter NJC

Anyone can confirm if already successful for DSA CO, can just ignore the S1 option form if DS doesn’t want to take up third language?

Thanks. Yes, Victoria will be far from our place. NJC and SJI are perhaps the options left for IP.

Any inputs on whether the COP for ACS(I) IB going to be higher or lower than 256 this year?

Perhaps, study the past 5 years' trend of COP, for both ACSI (IB) and O-level?

In the event cannot get into ACSI (IB) but got posted by MOE to ACSI (O-level), at end of Sec 2, if students do well, can consider Transfer into IB in Year 3, but that's provided your son is really keen in IB

With 255, if target Non SAP schools,

- Victoria ?
But is it too far from your house ?

- National Junior College ?
Last year NJC COP was 254

- SJI (IB) ?

Frankly, that’s an impossible question to answer.
Just apply and hope for the best.

My DS got 247. Any recommendations? I am considering Bukit Panjang Primary vs SJI O-level.
SJI IP is 4-5 points away.
ACS(I) O level also 5 points away. Any suggestions?

Hello, consider Chung Cheng High School (Main). COP for last year P6s is 244. Campus is big, only school with a natural lake. Many facilities like gym and grand auditorium with more than 2.7k seats. Can give it a shot Be careful, there are 2 Chung Cheng schools, Yishun and Main. Main has higher academic standards, located at dakota.

My daughter gotten 248 and merit for hmt. If she choose the first 4 choices above her aggregate score and crescents girls as her 5th choice. Will it be safe to say she can get in crescents girls even though it is her 5th choice?

Hello, consider Chung Cheng High School *(Main)*. COP for last year P6s is 244. Wiser to put this before crescent girls This is a SAP school, so point will be counted as 250. DD studying at CCHMS and moving on to sec2 next year... v happy

I need to re-study and strategize my son’s school options after getting his result… Question - Is 7 marks out of COP too much for a gamble as 1st and 2nd choice school?
