We checked the MOE website many times already. It is unclear as to what is this "minimum express score".

Better to ask the concerned school.

For those waiting for official mail by post from SNGS - we received ours today.

Puzzles me though - there were 2 WL letters - one for IP and one for O level programme, although the application was only for IP.

That means they put your daughter on two WL : both IP track as well as O level.


Better contact SNGS Secondary (tel : 6354-1839), to find out why

Yeah, it's quite bizarre as we specifically applied for IP. Thanks phtthp for the info! We'll be writing to them.
And just in case anyone was wondering, the letter only states \"must be eligible to attend express course\", it doesn't state any target score.

Just give Temasek JC a call (tel : 6442-8066), they will explain to you.

After made the call, is it possible to update all of us here, so that other TJC parents who are given CO / WL, are aware what's this minimum express score In TJC, all about ?

Thank You very much, for kind help.

Hi all, i am new to this forum. My daughter has just got a CO from tjc. Letter states she must still score the minimum express score. Can anyone tell me what is this minimum express score and where can i find it ? Is this different from school to school ? What is this score based on ?

I asked the same question during yesterday's tea session at Cedar (DSA Cedar- IP) . Answer given by the HOD was DC just need to qualify for Express stream.

Strange !

First time, hear of such case.

Btw, the correct telephone no is 354-1839, Not 345-1839 (my apology)

Because last year (2016) : COP for SNGS O level was 253, while COP for IP was 257.
253 and 257 are very high.
So, they may not be looking at 200.


When you call them tomorrow, clarify with them, \"Does it mean that if my daughter's PSLE T-score were to fall within a certain minimum Range, means the WL (Waitlist) will qualify her for O level track, whereas if her T-score were to fall under another much higher range, means she qualify for IP track \"?

Then, u have to ask them : what exactly are these 2 different Ranges ?

Thanks a lot for the guidance - in the moment of confusion, we didn't even think to ask these questions. Thank you! I'll update tomorrow so other parents can take this for future reference if applicable.
