The two schools used to be close enough
I remember the daily big \"gathering\" of schools at the international bus stop along Upper Serangoon Road.

[quote=\"tankee\"]A colleague shared his opinion with me last year


He preferred his child to be among the top few in a good school and given all the grooming and opportunities by the school than to be among the average or just above average in a better school and treated normally and no opportunity

I agree with your friend too. It's the big fish small pond principle. Then again, there are those who would argue that to stay competitive one needs to be always challenged and motivated by your friends around you, eg. what jetsetter said in anearlier post about you being the average of your 5 closest friends or something. I don't know. I suppose it is to each his own. Just choose the school which your kid is most comfortable in. That's the most important thing.

The thing about big fish small fish is you only look at your kid and his results. You won't know his or his peers growth potential from the digits. A small fish may grow big in a nurturing pond or remain small . A big fish may actually be small when in the ocean or still grow bigger. We won't know at all. Just keep swimming, that's a very good attitude no matter the size of the pond.[/quote]Agree!!

is it official that HMT +1 +2 +3 does not add to T score (only add to decimal places) for SAP schools?


I heard this from the pri sch HMT tchr too but that wasn't what we all thought it was.

This is definitely false. The HMT bonus point is added to the t-score, a t-score of 249+2 will be considered as 251 when applying to a SAP school.

Ya, really nonsense to suggest added to decimal...my god, if so, why waste the effort to torture oneself by taking on one more paper...LOL.

I saw from Reddiechan posting and that's why I asked....nothing official from MOE website but I also heard it from the Pri sch's HOD (CL).....I also can't believe it.

Has anyone successfully enter any SAP sch based on +1 +2 or +3 previously?[/quote]I knew a student entered a SAP school with the help of +2 from HCL last year. The student would have fallen short of the COP without the bonus point.

Not sure if it's been shared. What's the trend of COPs for the past say 5 years? Does it fluctuate more than +/- 5 points?

Here's some historical info:

Based on the trend it's unlikely the COP fill fluctuate by more than 5 points.
According to DD 2012 PSLE papers were one of the toughest, which likely explains why the 2013 intake COP was highest for most schools.

I believe the main reason for the higher 2013 higher COP was because of the bigger cohort. The 2012 PSLE cohort are dragon babies. For the 2013 S1, there were in fact some schools where the COP increased by 5 or more points over the previous year, though these were not considered the top tier schools.

Thanks for the insight.
