Hey guys, what do you guys think the cop for nygs,rgs,ri, hc, dunman, cedar,scgs, sngs for this year will be? Make a guess

hmmm... i think will be around the same... 248-254 for most, the ri/nygs higher.
but i really 不知道 how it works, bc i never bother studying the cop, got affiliation & CO liao, however, there shouldn't be much change la, so no need to stress

For Chinese composition and English composition, u will not get full marks. The best u might get 35+/40. Anyway, let's enjoy the children's day.

Not true. I have tons of classmates(not me, i can't do that) getting at least 38, some even got 40 before for chinese, english is hard indeed but even with my sucky compo standard for chinese compo, i get at least 28(unless something goes seriously wrong) and usually about 32

Sorry if i offended anyone, i understand that this might, but I'm trying to get to the tops so compared to them, i suck way too much

Well, it depends on the teacher.

During prelims and SA1, teachers from other classes marked my composition. I got 29.
There is no grammar mistakes/spelling mistakes or anything.

During normal composition tests in class, I will get around 35/36.

Let’s say,

X got
91 for English
100 for Maths
91 for Science
91 for Mother Tongue.

Y got
91 for English
91 for Maths
91 for Science.
100 for Mother Tongue.

Whose score will be higher?

However if there is any discrepancies ( as in if the marks given by the 2 markers differ by a lot) there will be a third marker.
By the way, just curious to know how many pages did you all write for your english compo. I'mwondering if mine compo will be too short as I find it hard to write. I wrote about 3 pages ( leave a line). What about you guys?

y

I did not left a line and wrote 1 page… With line would be about 3-4 pages. Anyway they go for content and language… Even if you write more than someone, it doesn’t means that you will score higher than that person.

[NerdyMath]

I wrote 4 and a half pages .

Writing more means having more content and more elaboration, so the marks will go up.

It depend on bell curve. If alot of the student able to do well in Maths and do badly in chinese than Y maybe higher. If vice versa than X will be higer.
