Higher Chinese in P5 - To opt or not

turquoise:
Not true. There's no difference between mainstream and GEP in calculation of COPs for entry to all schools.
no diff between GEPpers and mainstream students for the COP, but the diff is if they have HCL or HMT entering SAP school -
COP is the same but no HCL bonus points will be given to GEPers. My sons’ teachers told me that- I’ve already been told by 2 teachers in NYPS I don’t think they both got it wrong.

I know COP, bonus poiints, T-score are very important to determine which sec sch a kid can enter.
But knowing a language well is akin to having another pair of hands.
Dd has opted in for HCL but unsure if she can cope well. -
A kid’s with a COP score of 251, with CL only, and another kid’s COP score of 248+3 HCL bonus point, who can get into a SAP school e.g RV?

When I wrote COP, I meant including the bonus points for HMT, if any. -

GEP students do get the HMT bonus points if they apply to SAP schools. There is no difference in calculation of COP points for GEP for entry to any school, SAP or not. Are your sons' teachers from GEP? You may want to check the info with MOE to verify it. -
Agree with Turquoise, gep students get to use the hmt bonus points for entry to sap schools.

Both GEP teachers told me GEPers don’t get bonus points when applying to SAP Schools

that is strange ! you mentioned your kids in NYPS ? we are talking about kids having HCL - Higher Mother Tongue (be it GEPper or not), will get bonus points when applying for SAP schools, NOT about GEPper per se -

It depends on their decimal points lah.
If 251, in MOE data there are lots of students rounded to 251 but in their system there are a lot decimal places after the 251.
