Sorry, not by luck of draw at play here. [Refer to the official news link provided by the other contributor]. => It's determined by the decimals.... The last seat goes to the ranked highest.[/quote]PSLE changes: Choice of school and balloting may play bigger role https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/education/choice-of-school-and-balloting-may-play-bigger-role?&utm_source=whatsapp&utm_medium=social-media&utm_campaign=addtoany
That' what exactly I mentioned. If comes to the COP, the vacancies is less than the SG citizen applicants, then the system will draw lots among the citizens. Some of the unlucky citizens will not be successful.pengpeng\" post_id=\"2004455\" time=\"1606374313\" user_id=\"77520:

Sorry, but got to disagree. We know firsthand of a recent case. Local nationality and T-score exactly at the cut-off of stream A (Choice 1 in ranked order). She was placed into stream B instead (Choice 2 in ranked order). -

Putting njc as first choice versus second choice doesn't give u a better chance. Let's say your child is the 1500th ranked student. After posting the 1499th student to a school, the computer will look at ur child's 1st choice. If there's still vacancy, he goes there. If no vacancy, the computer looks at his second choice n makes the posting decision, so on and so forth.[/quote]Ahh I see. Thank you for enlightening.
Thks. So choices 2-6 safe for our case? Seems like we have a lot more 250+ scorers this year. My DS’ class has at least 4 including him with same score.Rainee_mom\" post_id=\"2004462\" time=\"1606374979\" user_id=\"189737:

Not a high chance, to be honest. But if u dun try, u never know. The 2nd to 6th options are there anyway if your \"dream\" 1st choice doesn't succeed.
What if we put NJC as first choice and eliminate ACSI (IB) which we are 2 pts off, will we stand a better chance? -
My son scored 260+1.
Should I let him try for RI, will he struggle as his score is so near to COP with most other boys doing better than him?
He is eligible to take HCL, does RI offer HCL? If he goes for the IP programme, does this also mean he takes HCL for the first 4 years only?
Many thanks! -

Before you asked, you could have done yourself Na favor by looking at the last 3 to 5 pages. A number of people have shared their / their Rafflesian sons’ experiences with t-score LOWER than the COP.

Frankly, the purpose of the future AL score (not the subject matter of this topic) is to change people’s perception of academic strength. Those with (current) t-score of > 250 will likely be eligible for RI under the new AL scheme. -
Dear Parents,
Hi any estimation of the cutoff of the RI - 259 , ACS-I - 256 can drop from 2019 ?
Thank you -
If we have an idea of whether T score of 260 receives ESIS, we may be able to find out if the COP for the top tier schools will remain the same, increase or decrease this year.
So far, I haven’t heard of many with T score higher than 270. Anyone knows what is the highest T score for this year? -
:congrats:
May I know if your son received ESIS letter? It would be a good way to gauge if this year’s COP in general will be lower or higher than last year’s. Thanks!ptr\" post_id=\"2004694\" time=\"1606407880\" user_id=\"17974:

If your child qualifies for ESIS, it will be printed on the Eligibility Letter in an envelope given to your child along with the result slip and PSLE Certificate.

i am not sure but i saw someone ask another person if the pupil who got 261 received esis and the response was yes. (i think.) but 261 is like one point away from 260, so maybe a pupil with 260 also got esis. hope this helped a little bit...

2 girls in my school got 270+ and i also remember someone here saying that there was a girl in the son's school who got 282 but i haven't heard of anyone getting higher than 282 hmmm
