He is being cheeky. Ignore the comment Cheeriomama[/quote]

Oh I didn’t realize that. Thanks for the alert.
Parents are genuinely seeking advice here especially today is 3 days away from closing of S1 submission so maybe it would be more useful to provide everyone accurate information.
Thank you.

Hi,
I have a question. Secondary schools with affiliation to primary sch allocates only 20% of its vacancies to non-affiliation students. With a score of 260, what are the chances of entering Catholic High O levels track ? ( my child isn't interested in IP at all)
Tks

Zero chance. Majority of CHS non-affiliated students are scoring 261 and above.

Seriously, you are expecting a different answer?

really?? in the 'choosing your secondary schools' book, it says the aggregate range of students in 2019 who weren't affiliated to chs and admitted there was 249-259 for o lvl track. and it's o level track so why would it go past 260?? if you meant ip then yes. maybe. but the question was about chs o levels. i don't think the cop for non affiliated is that high,,

Agree w you both, Cheeriomama and Xiaomingiconic. Floppy is trying to say the other person is asking the obvious. Maybe not so obvious to everyone.

Hi, can share where to find 10 years cut off point?

I m looking for the following school
1) RVHS
2) CHS IP
3) ACSI IP
4) NJC
5) ACSI O
6) NHHS
7)BPGS
Fairfield

Thanks first

There are some of the ones you are looking for in the following link. There were some changes with the DSA intake a few years ago so I think people generally trust the recent data more (I think the intro of various IP programmes may have changed things too but this should not matter for the last few years).

Caveat is that all of these COPs can change for reasons that don't seem obvious (or at least obviously predictable ahead of time).

Actually it’s fairly obvious in “choosing your secondary school”.

Not to mention, 260 is HIGHER than the COP of both RI and HCI.

Hello,
I have a question on Sec1 submit.

I've read below MOE link.
https://www.moe.gov.sg/microsites/psle-fsbb/posting-to-secondary-school/faqs.html
I can see comment below.
Students are first ranked by academic merit (T-score Aggregate).
The first student to be considered has the highest T-score Aggregate and will automatically be posted to the school that is their first choice.
The next student is then considered and school places vacancies in secondary schools are filled up one by one.

Does it mean below case?
E.g. My child is 1500th ranked student
After posting the 1499th student to a school considering 1st to 6th choice,
then the computer will look at my child(1500)'s 1st choice whether school still has vacancy?
and check 2nd choice ...until 6th choice?
After that the computer will look at 1501th Student posting?

Yes, your description is correct.

[/quote]Haha, you all don't sense Floppy's sense of humor
Score of 260 shouldn't ask the question of whethe can get in to CHS O level. That's 10 points Higher.

[GLORYmum]

A parent is even asking if the COP is known at this stage. This goes to show that some parents are seeking for answers or assurance from experienced parents in this forum.


I like zeal_mummy’s clarifications. Thanks.

This is not a thread in Recess so no matter how obvious the answers may seem to many of us who already had experience in the process, I hope we can try not to joke about their questions.

Thanks.

Child aiming for ip school 1, she has 2 points above it’s last year’s cop. 2nd choice ip school 2, she has 10 points above it’s last year’s cop. In the event that she doesn’t successfully get ip school 1, will the computer allocate spaces to all those who put ip school 2 as first choice first, meaning those will lower t scores will be chosen first and she will be allocated to her 3rd choice school instead?
