Very struggling on which school to choose with Boy’s 233. I plan to move house. So location doesn’t matter. Any suggestions?[/quote]

use 2018 & 2019 cop as reference
u will find some sch COP diff is as high as 5 to 6 pts

but 2018 cop is more norm like previous yrs
dunno what happen in 2019 ( many feel it is easier n more managebale papers, means more avg /slight abv avg kids score well n push up cop)

Maybe :
first two choices - as wish sch ( 233 , 234, 235 )
next 4 choices as releasitc choices ( 233, 231.230

Did a lot of ppl get 250 and above in ur school? In my school there’s 27... is that considered a lot or no?

Not bad, just to benchmark, Qi Fa Primary School (West Coast) has 32 students scoring above 250.

The last choice, you may have to go as low as the 220s to be safe.

Frankly, any of the 230s school would be good for the child. While none of them are probably “branded”, they are also not weak / poor schools.

IMHO, comparison is meaningless. There are many factors involved, some unique and localized to the school. There are a number of schools that consistently produce > 80 students (or 25% of their cohort) scoring above 250.

Hello, I am new.


Just want to hear from some mummies here / school of thoughts for sec school with a wide COP vs a smaller range of COP.

~ wide range better/ narrow range

My personal tot: Maybe that wide range, eg. 220-254. Maybe that school only have 1 student 254.

Anyone good in analysing such to interpret?
:thankyou:

233 can get into quite a number of secondary schools. I think proximity is important, perhaps u can focus on proximity then Look for the right schools with reference to previous year’s COP.

Does anyone know about appeal process for psle? Asking for my relative’s kid. Got one subject really shocking. Specifically, if they appeal, is there a chance t score might come back even lower? Of course, we are hoping for higher, and that subject go up one grade. Tried looking at moe FAQ, but it did not provide details.
