If the schools take more than what they used to do (unlikely), COP will increase due less places available.
If the schools accept a similar number to previous year (highly likely), COP will remain the same.
If the schools take less than previous year (possible for some schools), COP will decrease.

Hi Lego, what would be considered very safe ? A difference of how much from tscore and COP. Thanks.

Perhaps 5 points ?

1. 5pts
2. 5pts
3. 3pts

Hi, COP of schools would not fluctuate very much.
Personally, I won’t put in anything that is more than 5 points below my child’s t score and limit to to last choice.
It is just a safety net, you probably won’t need it if u have put in yr first 5 choices sensibily but just in case u have speculated on how the COP will go and it didn’t turn out as expected, u are somewhat insured.

Looking at IP stream, the choices are limited.

My option for choices:
1.Cedar IP
2. DHS IP
3. Cedar O
4. TJC
5. Nan Chiau
6. ?

Any opinions?

peasants, how did your dc do? :xedfingers: can go to dream school?

Just reach home from work, missed out all the drama! But yes, dd2 can go dream school with subsidies. The latter is pretty much needed but unexpected cos I thought the cut off is higher. Sibei Heng.

Congrats!! :rahrah: ESIS cut off is 260, right?[/quote]
my dd has ESIS at 258

Nan Chiau High School SAP (co-ed) – 243
Chung Cheng High School (Yishun) (co-ed) – 238
Yishun Town Secondary School (co-ed) – 235
Based on the above, I doubt you will receive a posting that's beyond the 4th choice.
