[catddy2002]

Heard from my colleague her DD score 253 and her DD 2 good friends score 260 and above.

They are from Nan Hua Pri.

Xnowy:

does anybody know the COP for EESIS ?

should be around 257 or 258. Know students who get 258 and offered EESIS but not all with 257 get it.

Is that similar to last year's cut-off for EESIS? The T-score range seems quite similar to last year's range, viewing from top range shared.

Oh, the cut off could be by decimals at 257 ?

Looking at 2013 and 2014 psle results as compared to 2012 dragon babies cohort, the overall psle results have dropped. This is also accompanied by easier PSLE papers.

The percentage qualifying for express stream is also about 66% like last year. So the T-score range should be similar. So best to look at last year's cop as a ref and not look too far back.

My ds who got 249+2 (hmt bonus) got offered Japanese,French,German and Spanish. So I guess this year the top 10% benchmark drop to 249 cause got a friend with 248 and not offered those languages above.

I think you are right. The P told me that this year, the top 10% is 249 and above, and 250 should be about top 8%....

I am confused. Does it mean that those who are offered Jap, German, French and Spanish are top 10% of the cohort and they will be offered EESIS as well?
