There is NO RISK of you losing your 2nd or 3rd choice at all. The placement is by merit, you will get posted to the school even if you place it as 6th choice as long as your PSLE T-score is higher than the school's COP this year. Hope this clarifies.

This is however a little risk. if the COP for CCM is 239 and there are only a few vacancies left and you have put CCM as 4th choice, then you will lose out to other students with 239 and has put CCM as 1st or 2nd or 3rd choice.

Just curious - why do u put Anglican as 3rd choice, after CCM? If you can't get into CCM, it is unlikely that you can qualify for Anglican.

JMHO

As the selection is based on exact result with a few decimal places (239.xxxxx) and not 239 only, it is unlikely that two students will have exact scores and one will lose out due to choices.[/quote]Oh, really. I didnt know that there are decimals. So the results is rounded to 0 decimal?

Oh.. yes, you are right. I should move Anglican up one place. Thanks.

The verdict whether the published COP is inclusive of SAP:


This is a reply I got from MOE today:

Thank you for writing to us on 29 November 2010.

We wish to inform you that the posting of pupils to secondary schools is computerised. All pupils will be ranked by merit according to their PSLE results. In general, a pupil would be considered for admission to his choice of schools before another pupil who has not performed as well in the PSLE, subject to the availability of vacancies in the school.

As such, the student with the aggregate score of 241 (239+2) would gain a higher chance in the Special Assistance Plan (SAP) school when compared to the student who has gotten 240. Please note that the bonus points for Higher Chinese Language can only be used for competition for places in SAP schools. It is only meant for posting purposes.

Should both the students apply for non SAP schools, the student with the aggregate 240 would be in an advantageous position compared to the student with 239 – without bonus points.

Please also note that the aggregate scores in the Secondary 1 booklet is inclusive of the bonus points for the SAP schools.

Cheers!

Precisely what I've been saying. But thanks for clarifying with MOE.

Thank you so much. That clears the air for a lot of people instead of being misled by some wrong info posted by some members. :celebrate:

Hi All,


My DS scored 260 for his PSLE. He has selected VS as first choice. I wonder is this a wise choice. Can anyone comment? BTW, what literature book are they currently using?

With that score, I would say VS would grab for sure. No doubt about that! :celebrate:

[BryBenMum]

Just wondering how many places will RI set aside for their supplementary intake(appeal cases). And is it as long as their t-score is above their COP will be successful in the appeal? Hope someone can advise.

[quote=\"et1967Hi et1967,


Your son has 253, is he offered EESIS ? I thought EESIS cut off is 260 this year ?

Any one who meets the cut off of EESIS this year, but decided not to go to an independent school in Sec 1, but subsequently goes to IP school in Sec 3, will automatically be granted the ESIP, and does not need to take the test.

EESIS : for Sec 1 admission to independent schools.
ESIP : for Sec 3 admission to IP schools.

This is my understanding.

Yes, he's offered, and with 3rd language option. He scored 2 A* 2 A. Still feeling a waste if dont choose IP school. Actually was advised to put Dunman as 1st choice (think very slim), then CH as 2nd choice. Should I follow this advise?

Anyone can advise, I wonder should place SJI before CH or vice versa? Staying sengkang.[/quote]

Your son offered EESIS at 253? Is he from GEP?[/quote]
Yes, he's in GEP.

I got 249 and hoping to get into cedar but what other all girls secondary school should I go to? (I’m staying in Hougang and do not wish too travel too much ^^)


P.S. My friend scored 250 and her mum called the VP of Cedar and she said that her chances of getting in are very slim…

I see, so probably your son is from the GEP. Anyway, only ACS(I), HCI, RI and NUS High, are independent schools and offering IP. If you want to \"make use\" of the ESSIS, then, you can only choose from these 4 schools.

ESSIS aside, Dunman and NJC should have higher COP than RVH, looking at past year's COP. If your son prefers IP, you can also consider RVH as 2nd choice , then Catholic high as 3rd choice.

One more thing to note, most of the foreign languages will be held at either Bishan or Ghim Moh. If your son intends to do foreign language, CH will be very close to the Bishan MOELC. I know DH has school bus to ferry the students to the MOELC. Not sure about RV, you have to find out.[/quote]Thanks for info..got it. Dunman High also has IP.

it does not make sense to put SJI before CH.

SJI COP for past 2 year was abt 242. CH COP was 248. As posting is done by merit, your choice of CH under SJI is \"wasted\".[/quote]

Thanks..u justified my initial thought.
