My opinion only, decision is up to you and your DD
--> Better try than never try (SCGS IP). Ask how you or your DD would you feel if actual COP for SCGS IP goes to 250 when the posting results are out and you didn't give it a shot. Your choice (4) is a good safety net. Even if your DD got rejected if cutoff is 252 or 251, you will still likely get Chung Cheng. But if you got bounced out at 250 because of some decimal points, you can still try to appeal and your case would be stronger with SCGS IP as a (first) choice and I believe schools will make an overall assessment with other 250-appeals on case-by-case basis like the kid's usual P6 performance, with HCL vs without HCL, proximity from home, ranking of choices (maybe), etc.
But how would we know the cut off point after posting? Where can we check? -

Initially my girl wanted to put scgs IP as 1st choice but historically scgs ip has not gone lower than 252. My girl tscore only 250 as her hmt +2 point cannot be used for scgs. Very limited choices for 250 scoreSAHMom\" post_id=\"1949144\" time=\"1574667605\" user_id=\"12690:

Can call the school itself. -
Cutoff point… Can only know after posting results are out and i think one may need to call up the school to check what min T-score is allowed for appeal cases.

the minimum Tscore required is the Cut off point, itself -
SCGS IP quite consistent at 252 for past few years.
SCGS O level may fluctuate between 250-252.
I can understand a score of 250 is really neither here or there, sits on COP of OP/IP.
For those who join SCGS O level, if the child does well, one may seek to go on IP track at the end of sec 2, beauty of a Dual track school. SCGS O level program is really strong, friend’s daughter did well in OP and headed to Hwa Chong.
According to my DD1, quite a handful managed to seek transfer into the OP (joint SC in sec 2). But she don’t recall seeing new faces (from other schools) joining the IP stream (in sec 2). -

It's the beauty of a dual track school but also the limitation to outsiders.

If a place in IP stream is available, it will likely result in a parallel transfer (from OP). Thus, less likely for 'outsiders' to transfer into the IP stream. -

Can I ask a scenario qn...... In the event that the COP for o levels at scgs is 250 for example. Can a person with 249 be asked to place on waitlist? Is there such an avenue in the 1st place?

TKGS vs CHIJ sengkang
Hi all
Can you please share feedback for TKGS (tanjong katong girls school) vs CHIJ sengkang ?
Which one is recommended. -

RI at #6 is just a statement that the 6th choice doesn’t really matter. In fact, if your score is more than good enough for the first choice, the next 5 choices won’t really matter as well
...
(@floppy - RI #6 is mocking right??.. lol)
