2016 PSLE Results & Secondary Posting Discussions

Guest2016:
Looks like Top score went up to 283 from 278 which is last year high. Does it mean the COP for TOP schools would be up for 2017 intake?
That is correct. I have reliable sources saying people are keeping tight lipped about the mean T score hence the cut off.
Many assume they know but the data is being controlled.
Please be careful about your choice please don't end up not getting in any of your chosen school and get put into neighborhood schools.
The numbers that has been thrown around here are not quite the real Average T I heard it is much higher than you know - just look at how many are above expectation (our own kids) Beware -

My DD s T score is 261+2. Any chance to get into NYGH or RGS?
Very high chance. -

Very high chance.
Between 261 to 264, I would say very high chance for RGS and NYGH. -
Attempt impossible:
We are considering SNGS and SCGS, too. The major concern on SNGS is the location. It seems quite far from Ang Mo Kio MRT and it takes more than an hour to commute from Clementi to there. Anybody knows about these two schools? Thanks!
SCGS is an independent school. From what I have encountered in the past few years, it has more fund raising activities than SNGS. -

Firstly congratulations for the good results. The high t-score that your dd gets allows her to have more choices. You are so lucky that you are within walkable distance from RV which is a good school with IP, and your dd did well enough to have the chance to go there.Hi dd scored 256+2(HMT chinse)
We live walkable distance to RV high near boon lay mrt.
Thinking of putting it as first choice due to proximity to home and good academic support.
Please suggest any other suitable schools.
DD is first child so would really appreciate your input
From personal experience, going to a school within walking distance gives one a lot of advantages. We stay in Bishan. Last year, my ds got 259+2, good enough to go to all boy's schools except RI. As both RI and Catholic High School are within walking distance, my ds put RI as 1st choice and CHS as 2nd choice. He did not put other better COP schools in between these 2, due to the distance.
Now my ds is in CHS and very happy. He has sufficient sleep, need not rush with the morning crowd in public transport, no need to be stuck in traffic jams had we the parents sent him, and he can go to school anytime whenever there are activities, CCA etc. It is so convenient. Also, with the extra sleep, he is always feeling fresh. Conversely, he says his friends who stay at the various corners of S'pore have to wake up at 5+am. They are tired, sometimes late for school and activities, and have less time to study. -
Kiddy Angel:
My DD s T score is 261+2. Any chance to get into NYGH or RGS?
If this year (2016) NYGH COP is 265 -
Then, 261 + 2 = 263 :
Low chance, as your daughter T-score do not meet 265, and MOE latest policy does not permit appeal, if do not meet COP.
Unless this year NYGH COP Drop to 263, and your daughter's 263 has very high decimal points, possible. But if her decimal points is low ...
Qn is :
do you think this year NYGH COP likely to fall to 263, or more likely to go up ?
Anyone have statistics of the %tage of NYPS girls, who scored 250 & above, for last year (2015), vs this year 2016 ?
If this year (2016) more NYPS girls scored 250 & above, compared to last year (2015), means more NYPS girls qualify to go back to affiliated NYGH, leading to lesser vacancies left available for non-affiliates to enter, then possible for NYGH COP to move up.
But if the reverse is true, then COP may drop.
RGS :
Your +2 not applicable, as RGS is not a SAP school.
Her chance of entering RGS is still there, if COP this year remain at 261. But if happen to shoot up to 262, cannot.
Anyway, just put down these 2 hot schools, inside your list of 6 choices.
When the MOE computer posting algorithm process, is not based on \"whoever first apply into the school, first served\" policy. Not like that.
It process according to \"whoever has a higher T-score first : then will process this candiate's Requirement first, see which school choices this pupil had requested for\".
Computer first sort the thousands of psle candidates by T-score first, before start to process, one by one :
starting from the Top scholar across the island, from this batch, until the bottom last psle candidate in the cohort, whoever he / she is. -
Thank you careermum
The reasons cited by you are the exact same reason I am suggesting my daughter to join RV high IP. We went to open house last weekend and I was very much impressed with the curriculum support, teachers, dedicated principal and motivated students. They have my daughters preferred CCA of robotics as well.
Now the question is we need to put 6 choices.
DD was greatly interested in RGS. But her t-score is below the COP by 4 points.
We are hoping with RV high as first choice, DD can secure a place as being SAP they will consider her to score as 258 (256+2).
Thinking of putting SCGS, Methodist girls, Cedar as the next choices after RV high. Which other schools would be suitable to put as options? -
My personal opinion is that distance is an important factor during considerations. We also do not want our kiddos to be too tired after school and spend hours travelling…
Another important thing to consider is of cos our kiddos like that school that we choose. If they don’t like it, we force them and they will be more upset.
That was wat happen last year for my DS. We are not successful in DSA. So we shortlist a few secondary schools and go for their Open Hse. I prefer Fairfield Meth and my DS doesn’t like it. Eventually, my DS chose New Town Sec bcos of their programmes. And the students & teachers are friendly and polite. My DS now is happy there and i am glad that i did not force him to put FFMS as the first choice.

This is a very good story. When deciding on schools, it is best to leave it to our children to decide. Remember - they are the ones who have to stay there for the next 4 years. The best we can do is to offer guidance and information for them to make their decisions.My personal opinion is that distance is an important factor during considerations. We also do not want our kiddos to be too tired after school and spend hours travelling..
