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?

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?

Is this year T-scores dropped? I didn’t hear any 270+. My DS neighbourhood school didn’t have many students scoring above 250s (around 5-8 out of 240 students). Just curious!!

Din hear of any 270+ but there were many who got 260+ and 250+

I think that the psle scores this year has been affected by covid and online classes, and yes. Since attention spans are reduced during online classes, students wouldn’t have been able to absorb information as well as they could in face-to-face lessons. This would have resulted in not-as-high-as-expected psle scores for most of the students. That and the reduced time for lessons. We’ve been through a lot this year, so cut them some slack. Schools also have to lower their expectations as if they don’t, they will have only a few students taking secondary 1 next year.

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?

Can share if she got ESIS?

My DS has been given eligibility to apply for Third language (Chinese or Malay). Which one is easiest? I guess we can get 2 bonus points if we complete the special programe right?
