      Hello,


      My neighbour's son scored 251 for psle.He is thinking of NUS high, NJC and RI.

      Can I know which school is within this cop for school that is in the east and central?thank you.
      Too risky to apply for the 3 schs mentioned. Their COP are much higher than 251.

        My dd classmate had 248 +2 got in after appeal last year.

        I am shocked to hear that. Oh well, that's too bad. I have another friend of mine who's daughter score 248 + 2 and tried appealing into RV, but got rejected too. I wonder why ?

        DD in RVH. Heard some of her friends got in with 250 after appeal. Some with 251 were rejected. I guess the school doesn't just look at T-score alone.[/quote]I believe they look at students with outstanding CCA performance as well.

          What is your girl t-score?

          270 with distinction for HCL. A lot of people is against me applying for RV, but I have a very gd feeling and impression of this sch, especially after visiting the sch on 27/11/10. Did you attend the RV open house?

          Hmm, I did ask you earlier on, but from the school that you choose i presume you are staying in the east. Hence, No doubt RV is a good school. But do consider the distance, its a 6 years commitment[/quote]I'm staying around Redhill area

            You are right

            Just a matter of phrasing. Someone even highlighted it but slammed me for misleading. Nonsense. Couldn't she read that I was mentioning \"it is the lowest t-score for anyone without HCL to get into that SAP school\" ?
            Hi vk2010,

            Don't get too worked up over this. We are all parents here to share what we know.

            When I first read your initial post, I too felt that it was misleading because it said \"cut of point for SAP school as published by MOE does not include HCL bonus points. it is the lowest t-score for anyone without HCL to get into that SAP school.\"

            It's the first sentence that is not correct because MOE DOES include HCL bonus points.

            So a simple rephrasing does help clear up the air for all parents I hope.
            Official COP (inclusive of HMT) = 263.
            Actual score of last student entering NYGH could be 260.

              Can someone advise if it is better to select Raffles Girls or Nanyang Girls? My daughter has score of 272 + 3 for Higher Chinese. We have an English speaking environment at home so not sure if she can adapt to the culture and environment in Nanyang Girls. On the other hand, Raffles Girls seems to be a very competitive environment so not sure if teachers are caring.

              I think both are equally good schools. You can take distance, range of CCAs, school culture into consideration when you select the schools. If your DD has scored 3 for Higher Chinese, her Chinese has to be quite good.

              If you have an English speaking environment at home, it will be good for her to go to NYGH for more Chinese exposure. Then, she will be well balanced. Eventually, regardless of RGS or NYGH, all the students take the same Higher chinese paper at O-levels. If you are more exposed to the language, chances of doing better will be higher.

              Just my opinion.

                if a student has HCL passes, she / he enjoys the benefit of the bonus point, does not imply that the cut-off point of the school is thus lowered by 3 points. it is a reward for doing the extra paper of higher difficulty.
                I believed that \"cut of point for SAP school as published by MOE does not include HCL bonus points\" is correct; so that the HMT bonus points become a very real bonus for those who took HMT

                  yes, bonus point, as in the student with HCL enjoys a discount from the published COP

                    Hi vk2010,

                    Both you and 25hr maid are working on the same set of facts but the interpretation is different. Maybe a re-phrasing of the statement would make more sense. Let me explain.

                    The COP for NYGH is 263. Which means that if you do not have HMT, you would have had to score 263 to get into NYGH. If you did have HMT, your score would have been 262+1, 261+2 or 260+3. So the lowest score of someone entering NYGH last year during the S1 posting exercise was 260 (IF you do not take HMT into account.) I believe we agree on this.

                    So yes, the COP is 263 (including HMT). But actual scores of the students getting into NYGH could be 260 (minus HMT).

                    Perhaps it's how we phrase it. Official COP of NYGH = 263.
                    BUT actual score of last student entering NYGH at S1 posting could be 260.

                    Let me share my findings with the Anglican High's office:

                    Where ranking COP, MOE will not take HMT into account.
                    If the last few COP eligible to enter Anglican is say 240, then those with 3 pt from HMT will have priority over those with 2 and those with 1 and those without HMT.

                    So from this info (assuming the administrator is correct), it would imply that the COP does not include HMT.

                    This is just my humble opinion. Plse correct me if I'm wrong.

                    Hi there. Just wanted to say that your interpretation is not correct. The COP DOES include bonus points. When MOE lists the COP, that's the score of the last student entering the school. That student could have scored 263, 262+1, 261+2 or 260+3. Because it is a SAP school, the child with 260+3 is able to use his bonus points and hence his score is now 263. However, his ACTUAL score is only 260 as stated in his PSLE slip.

                    It is stated in the NYGH website, as quoted by 25hrmaid, that the COP includes HMT bonus points. I have also heard it for myself from the principal that it includes HMT bonus points.[/quote]This COP issue is very important to all parents/students so I wish to get it right.

                    Can anyone provide some webpage or info that the published COP includes HMT?

                    If student A has 240 and student B has 239+2 and student C has 239 and all select Anglican, who will get in first? I think it's student A.

                    When we put in the 6 choices, there could a mix of SAP and non SAP schools. how can MOE rank? Likely to be just the score without HMT.

                    If student A gets in first before B and then the last COP is 239, student B will get in first before C. So then, what will be the published COP. Is it 240 (student A's score) or 241 (student B's score)?

                    Anyone who has the right info, plse provide....thank you in advance.

                      If applying to SAP school, A = 240, B= 241, C=239. So if the school COP is 241, A will not get it, B will get it

                      If applying to non-SAP school, A = 240, B=239, C=239

                      That is how MOE computer will rank. This has been pointed out by the primary school principal briefing on result day

                        As we are selecting the schools together with our child, we should not just look at the reputation of the school. The culture of the school is equally important. The stress level of the school should be considered, ie if your child is someone who cannot work under great stress, then do think carefully about your choice. Ultimately, we want a happy child, especially when they will be going through their teenagers phase in the next few years.
