I guess it depends on whether one is aiming for those listed schools just above your post!!

[Stressedupmom]

What I’m about to write is purely my opinion on how I view the cut-offs.

I will rank the schools acoording to the students t-scores they are taking in including the affiliated students. Otherwise, definitely the cut-off point they take in from the non-affiliated students will be inflated as there will not be many vacancies left. Also as boys cant go to the girls’ schools or vice versa, I’ll separate them into 2 groups with the mixed schools appearing in both groups.

Top 5 schools for Girls (IP A level track)
1. Raffles Girls (258)
2. National Junior College (255)
3. St Nicholas Girls’ (253)*
3. Dunman High (253)
5. Cedar Girls (252)

*St Nick’s does not take in affiliated students at a discount for IP track.

Top 4 schools for Boys (IP A level track)
1. Raffles Institute (256)
1. Hwa Chong Institute (256)
3. National Junior College (255)
4. Dunman High (253)

I didn’t put the 5th position for boys as many of the other IP boys’ schools tied at 249,

I am also arranging for Access Arrangement for her. She has MT exemption since last year. in the meantime, we are still hoping she will do better...at least get 200 COP.

What’s Access Arrangement? Extra time?

bb_ mom:

What's Access Arrangement? Extra time?

yes. don't know why 'extra time' is termed 'access arrangement' :?

[mummy OnABudget]

not only extra time for liz case is to take all papers separately and there will be a prompter in case she starts to go off to her dreamland, honestly i do not want to strain her or stress her cause with liz it might a opp effect so i will just let her do her best.


She wants to read idioms as books i got her a few also have assessment books that she ask for and will do during weekends. No tuition as usual.
