gtayc:

what is the EESIS cut off for 2014 PSLE? And what is the top 10% marks ?

EESIS cutoff should be 257.xxx this year. Top 10% is around 250.

Think should be 258 (see below link from SJI website)

[quote=\"Kitty\"]NYGH went up from 261 to 262

Not surprising as a no of the Geppers already flocked to RGS DSA and the platter is full for RGS.

Then how come rgs cop also dropped ? And dsa only for 50% of vacancies[/quote]
RGS is very stringent in their selection of students under DSA. Although the school allocates 50% of its vacancies for DSA, it doesn't fill up all its slots under this phase. Majority of students still enter via S1 posting.

With more vacancies available to students under S1, the cop is therefore lower.

http://www.sji.edu.sg/scholarships#_ptoh_42381[/quote]To qualify for EESIS, is it with or without HMT?

Example 255+3 (HMT)/ 256 + 2/ 257+1, qualify for EEIS?

Generally girls' ip schools seem to have higher cut-off than boys' ip schools.

Yes agree. Fewer boys than girls in this cohort? Or the girls generally fared better than the boys in this cohort?

Easier papers, boys generally more prone to careless mistakes than girls?

I don't think HMT is included in EESIS.

I've read somewhere in KP forum that someone with 257 was awarded EESIS, while another child with the same aggregate didn't get EESIS.

Excludes HMT. Only Singapore citizens are eligible for EESIS.

From the list of COP of IP schools,

Only nygh, mgs and cedar cop went up;

Only hci maintained.
The rest went down.

it seems that -

Cedar IP is getting more popular

Dunman High IP getting less popular
(not sure why)


between SCGS and St Nicholas -
St Nicholas IP is more popular than SCGS IP

Can't judge the popularity of a school using COP because it is not ceteris paribus. The number of vacancies available in each school is different. Affiliation or no affiliation plays a part too ...

[Just called Temasek Junior College, plus a few schools.

- Temasek JC confirmed that this year COP is 249.
(dropped 3 points from 252, last year)

- National JC confirmed that this year COP is 254.
(also dropped)

- River Valley High confirmed that COP is 249 (IP).


- Cedar Girls Sec confirmed that COP is
248 (O level)
252 (IP)

- SCGS Sec confirmed that COP is
248 (O level)
250 (IP)

- CHIJ St Nicholas Sec confirmed that COP is
245 (O level)
253 (IP)

- MGS Sec confirmed that
247 (O level)
256 (IB : international Baccalaureate Diploma)

That's weird - CHIJ St Nicholas (O level)'s COP for non-affiliates was 253 last year. Dropped 8 points? :shock:
