What do you mean by most? If my DS scored 254+2, is he absolutely [/b]confirmed an IP programme. It's really far from where I live, but I want an IP prog. for my son. If it is an O'level school. VS is nearer and cheaper.

Sorry for not being clear. It is actually quite easy to get into the IP programme. Usually those students who did not get into IP are because:
1. Not consistent in their study. They usually dun do well in test and exam because they are lazy to study.
2. They are lazy to prepare a proper portfolio.

ACS(I) may have changed their selection criteria. I am not sure. You may want to check with the school. What I am offering was based on my experience teaching in that school. Most of the boys I taught got into IP programme unless they choose not to. There are some parents who prefer their sons to get O-level first. If they do well in O-level, they can still return to ACS(I) to continue with the IB programme.

my daughter got a T score 0f 234. she was very disappointed as she expected to get into Cedar. cedar is definitely not an option now. what other schools do you suggest we consider?

some schools in my mind: TKGS, CHIJ TP, Tanjong Katong Sec, CHIJ Katong.
is it possible for her to get into tkgs? their COP is 233.
thanks in advance

I believe it's possible to get into TKGS though your daughter's score is only a point higher than the cut-off point. But if she really wants to get into Cedar, maybe she can try appealing?

thnak u so much for the reply. I called up the school, they informed me that even girls with a score of 240 only have a slim chance of getting in. do u still think I should appeal? she was from contemp dance. SYF Silver.

If my DS’s score is 254+2, can he enter NJC? I’ve heard that Njc isn’t a SAP school and my HCL bonus points don’t apply there. is that true? Or should I try my luck for that school

Listen to 25hourmaid. Since yr dd has T-score of 234, her top choice must be Tg Katong Girls follow by Tg Katong.

my son got 219 ... do u think can get into St Hildas ?

Don't mean to be a damper, but 219 is quite far from St Hilda's non-affilated COP of 227.

any possibility that the COP be lowered since the highest score is 282 ?

SYF Silver.[/quote]Does she hold any important position in her CCA? 'Cos even though it's not a very high chance, she can still try. Also, TKGS is not bad too! So if Cedar really cannot, she may consider TKGS too since it's quite a good school too.

You can't use your HCL points for entry to NJC. So his aggregate is 254 vs last year's COP of 257. Risky? A little.

ok, so u think I should not appeal? I am pretty cool with tkgs. autonomous and good record but the only setback is that it is a band 2 school.

If you try for NJC, your HMT marks won't be taken into account, so means you are entering with 254 which is quite far from their COP of 257 last year. I won't try. A bit risky.
