[quote=\"Imp75\"]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.

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.

Hi, what will be the impact on the results if the kid drops the 3rd language subsequently? Will it be viewed unfavourably? Thanks!

Not sure if the policy is the same for all schools but my Ds sch policy is if one does not want third lang to be computed in the sch year end results, withdrawal from the course needs to be completed by a certain timeline eg a month before end of year third Lang paper (this is an eg, pls go check out as I leave it to my Ds and not sure of the details.

Hi, may I know what happens if the selected 3rd language from cat 3 is oversubscribed? Will MOE allocate another language within cat 3 for the child? Thanks!

[jedamum]

You will be allocated to your next choice subject to vacancies. If you put nil, then no third lang. I think we put same for all three options as we were not keen on any others.

Hi jedamum, that means if we want only cat 3 languages, we have only one shot at it right? Since we can only choose 1 language from each cat? We are not keen in other cat. Thanks!
