DS got 261 + 2, I’m planning for the following choices:

1. RI
2. Hwa Chong
3. ACS (independent)
4. Dunman high
5. Victoria
6. Temasek JC

Greatly appreciate your advices on the above choices. Is the sequence of choices alright? And most likely which school will he get?

Thanks a lot in advance!!!

If u put ACSI #3, if s1 posting computer post your son into IB, u sure confirmed u prefer IB curriculum, over A level in choices #4 to #6 ?

Dear All, I know this will not have answer till 19/12/18, but can your share with your prediction with your school scoring, any prediction whether COP will remain, decrease or increase for this year ?

It depends.

The most popular schools, i.e. COP > 240, are most likely to remain the same. If they do change, wouldn't be more than + - 2 points.
Schools with COP between 200 and 220 tend to see greater fluctuations.

@floppy, based on your judgement, any prediction for COP between 230-240? Increase or decrease... Thx

DS has scored 254. What would be chances for ACS (I) IB? Any feedback on SJI (IB program) is also welcome!

Hello NJCMGS,
https://www.sji.edu.sg/ takes place this afternoon, 23 Nov 2018, 2-4pm.

DD has 254 cutoff. Is it safe to opt for NJC and cedar as first and second choices? If she is not eligible for both, will she surely get into Temasek JC?

Hello sadhuvish,
I'm not certain how accurate this online information is, but if you were to reference https://www.tutorchen.com/top-sec-schools-cop-eesis-cop/ here, there is chance. Good luck!

My feel is that with the changes to Dsa (IP sch capped at 35% max and o level sch upped from 5% to 20%), this will have impact on the cop accordingly and if esis is really 258, it means top 3% cutoff is 258 then maybe TOP sch cop may drop more than 3 points?

Can you provide more information on that? May I know what is the basis for them to post students to different programs? Thanks

According to our school teachers' informal survey of the cohort's top scorers, Y2018 Psle EESIS is 260.

ESIS is 260, which is slightly lower than last year.
Given that the top 20 schools has COP > or = 250, doubt that their COP will drop that drastically. The top pupils are still fighting among themselves while everyone else waits for the dust to settle.
