It’s just as stressful chasing for the “1” pt
Moreover choice matters now
Hot sch remains hot or hotter ...

Thought that’s the beauty of this system
Nope. That’s the key difference between AL system and T score system.zac's mum\" post_id=\"1922753\" time=\"1564093884\" user_id=\"53606:[quote=\"zac's mum\" post_id=1922753 time=1564093884 user_id=53606]
under the AL system, 'choice order of schools' will come in when there are 2 students with same AL choosing same school? Cannot use actual raw marks to calculate who has higher in total?
No more hogging of NYGH / RGS / MGS and RI / HCI / ACSI in the top 3 choices.[/quote]more well spread
maybe got a bit of truth in reducing stress? the very good ones and the below average maybe no need so stress hor.. -

Hot schools can’t get hotter. However, the new system may take away the heat from some of these hot schools and end up pushing it down to the next tier of schools.

In the old system, someone scoring 260 may say, let’s try NYGH, RGS and MGS as the first 3 choice and then hope for the best. In the new system, if you score 6 points and try to do the same, there’s a possibility that you will end up with none of the above. The beneficiary would then be the next tier of schools such as SNGS, CGSS or SCGS. -

I maybe wrong but I picked up some hints...
“To be eligible to take Higher Mother Tongue in secondary school, pupils would need at least an overall PSLE score of 8.”
:boogie: It means AL8 points is equivalent to top 10% in today’s context. It also means we now have a rough idea that IP cut-off would be around AL8 points.
“They can also take up Higher Mother Tongue if they have an overall PSLE score of 9 to 14 and attain AL1 or AL2 in their Mother Tongue, or distinction or merit in their Higher Mother Tongue at PSLE”
:boogie: It means at AL9 you are at the Top 11% and at AL14, you are likely still within the Top 30% of the cohort.
“And attain AL1 and AL2 in their Mother Tongue”
:boogie: means if a student is able to achieve AL2, it’s equivalent of A* for Chinese in today’s context. -

According to what you wrote earlier, your estimate is that AL8 goes to mid 240s school. Now it would seem that AL8 is within the Top 10%, eligible for IP school.

Likewise from the link you provided, you didn’t share that AL2 is equivalent to an A* in Chinese or that at AL14, it is the cut-off for Top 30%. -

AL8 should be a high 240s to low 250s. That would be the borderline for IP COP, so it’s not off.
AL14 equates to top 30% is somewhat unexpected. That means the spread of students scoring AL10 to AL14 is much narrower - good news for those with an ideal school in this range (1st and 2nd choice), bad news for those making up their minds about schools in this range (the rest of the choices). Likely to have a lot of surprises on posting day. -

Unless you really like your MT, there's really not much benefit to take higher MT in IP...but that's where most of the top 10% are, no?
