      On the S1 option completion, first looks like we need to choose the course first before proceed to fill up 6 options, eg Express (for both IP and O lvl).. qn is if ABC school offers both IP and O lvl and the kid would like to try for both, need to take up 2 options for same school ? or got separate column to state IP or O or not? what happen for schools with affiliation, as affiliation only for O but not IP, if choose IP as first option, will lose affiliation benefits or not arh ?
      won't lose affliation, if put

      1) IP school
      2) OP ( affliated ) school


      But in the event,
      the COP for IP = identical, same as COP for OP (eg. In some past year case in SCGS), maybe more worth-while (more \"hua suan\", so to speak) to enter IP, join Euonia Junior College in Year 5, in the sense that no need to \"fight\" (nor \"chiong\") for a place slot in a Junior College, 4 years later.

      Sian right, imagine
      your child got to prepare for major O-level exam all over again, like what we have done in P5 & P6 PSLE ?
      And thereafter, \"wasting\" time 2 months some more during Junior College Year (1) orientation, getting used to the new JC environment, before one can settle down, and before u know it, it is already May, time for JC1 mid year examination.

      If there is a last time for the
      COP of IP (dual track) school = COP of OP (dual track) school,
      It will be probably either one of these last 2 batches, undergoing Tscore
      (2019 or 2020 PSLE batches)

      Going forward, once AL step in, in terms of AL points,

      the COP of an IP (dual track school) unlikely to be equal to the COP of an OP (dual track school) anymore, if using AL points

        There’s no such thing as more worthwhile (or less worthwhile). As per discussed in the https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=8667 thread, it’s really about the individual student, and which pedagogy serves him or her best.

                IP sounds glam but it doesn't mean its good for all. End of the day, its about doing well at the end of 4+2 or 6 years straight.

                  Some Secondary schools are having open house on 16 Nov 2019, before the earliest tentative results release date of 21 Nov 2019.
                  For example, TKGS and TKSS.

                      IP & Olevels track of the same sch will take up 2 slots. (Page 2)

                      Will not lose the affliation benefit if IP of affliated sch first choice and its Olevels track 2nd choice. (Pg6)

                      It's better to rely on fact. 🙂 . Refer to Page 6 Point (e) of the S1-posting 2020 booklet. It stated and illustrated with examples.

                        I just need to rant…


                        Now that PSLE is over, my child is bored out of his brains at school. They’re not allowed to bring any games to school - no card games, no board games (even blokus or chess…) nothing!

                        They can only read books or chat softly in class. The only time they’re allowed out is during 30 min recess.

                        What’s happening??

                        And here I was telling him to study hard for psle and he can play after that. Back in the day the teachers will just screen movies in the school hall and we can either choose to watch or sit in our own groups to chit chat and do our own things.

                        Driving past another school (two days in a row) I see the children engaged in tally matches and rollerblading lessons.

                        So I really wonder, which school is more “normal” in today’s world.

                        Thanks for letting me vent.
