Based on your figures above, the number of IP places does correlate to the number of students in the top 10%. The govt did say that IP is intended for those who score a minimum of 250. So the numbers are about there. Not forgetting that this year's dragon cohort is larger than other years and we have not added in IP spots in SOTA yet.

I meant this year's cohort is larger as compared to other years (as in non-dragon years) and not last few dragon years. But it is interesting to note the trend in falling birth rate from mid-2000, with just a minor spike in this year's 2012 cohort.

I didn't realize the number of students taking PSLE in 2009 was 49,856, higher than the Dragon year cohort this year.


My predictions:
1) COP for top tier IP schools will go up.
2) COP for other IP schools will remain about the same or go down minimally bec of the increase in IP places with the intro of new IP schools.

same here.. :hi5:

It has and always will be a demand and supply issue. If supply has increased in IP schools this year, COP could go down. Usually the new entrants will get the lowwer end of the stick.

With more students in the cohort due to the dragon yr, there will be nore applying to non-IP schools, so expect the COP of SAP and Autonomous schools to move up slightly. COP on the whole does not fluctuate much for these schools, typically plus/minus 1 to 2. Only very recently did we see an Autonomous School Dunman Sec dropped COP below 230 to 229.

As more schools offering IP, just wonder what is the number of student intake for this year IP? Thank you.

It should be 4000 as stated elsewhere in KSP forum.

I am not sure forumners have already read this piece of info.


Apparently, 500 students with t-scores more than 250 have opted out from the IP system and have chosen the O level, more structured, route.

Or maybe it was last year..I'll post the link tonight. The news report has a Bukit Panjang High cover boy who has 266 t-score and has chosen BPGH.
