accoridng to the sec 1 posting booklet (pg 6 and 7), if u choose CHS as 1st choice for IP and CHS as 2nd choice for Exp, u will still get the affiliation for 2nd choice

Affiliation will only be applicable if chs is put as first choice, but 253 will qualify for O Level chs under non affiliation even if IP Cop ends up being higher.

[quote=darthpoon76 post_id=2003892 time=1606289812 user_id=56253]Hi, my son got 251. HCL merit. He is from CHS. How much chance he has to get into CHS IP stream? If can't get into first choice, how about 2nd which is CHS express stream?

Your son got 251 + 2 = 253?

Catholic High IP (last 5 years COP range 252 to 254) so there is a chance that he will qualify for CHS IP stream.

If not, he will go to his 2nd choice CHS O-Level Programme (his COP is much higher than 240 for affiliated students).

As long as you put CHS as first 2 choices (IP then O-Level), he will join CHS Secondary next year.

:congrats: :rahrah:

RGS COP likely to increase from last year's 261, but no one knows is it 262 or 263 or more. But no harm for her to try. Her 2nd choice of NYGH has a much higher chance than RGS, because of her higher chinese bonus of 3 points. Her 3rd and 4th choice (MGS, St Nics, DHS, NJC, etc) should easily provide a good safety net anyway.

thank you !! but may i know why rgs cop likely to increase?

The latest info tat KSP forum ppl provided on foreign 3rd language qualifying score shows that it has gone up from 250 (last year) to 252 (this year). That score is effectively for top 10% of the cohort. That's why I expect the COP of above-average schools to increase.[/quote]I agree that we are likely to see an increase of COP for a few schools, especially those ones with past year COP close to 250 as we have same amount of students squeezed in 252-260 range this year compared to last year 250-260. So schools like Victoria and River Valley may see a 1-2 points of COP increase. Schools higher may be affected less but I also expect RI, Dunman and HCI to +1 assuming students’ preference do not change much.

For NYGS and RGS, I would predict a same COP since the ESIS is still cut on 261 this year and these two schools are more likely to see this COP equal or higher than ESIS.

Just my 2 cents

RGS should be the cohort size while MGS I think is only 2 classes

I think the MGS IP is separate from SBA. I don't know the size of the MGS IP. However, I think some of the other split IP/O schools (SNGS, SCGS) are 4 - 6 IP classes.

Hi,


I would like to ask experienced parents here for 253+2, what should the last 2 safe options be? Or shld you go lower?

Eg 1) SCGS (252,252)
2) St Nick (257,255)
3) Dunman High (255,256)
4) Cedar (253,253)
5) SCGS O level (252,252)
6) Cedar O level (249,250)

Should you go even lower than Cedar O level, given the cutoff for top 3% and 10% has increased? Appreciate your comments.

Thanks
