Hi Bluemom, can shed some light which area do you reside? Your 6 choices are all over Singapore. Is distance or travelling a concern for your DD?

My tscore 250 + 2
1st - Rv SAP ( cop 252) - Jurong West/Boon Lay
2nd - scgs 'o' level ( cop 252) - Central
3rd - cedar 'o' level ( cop 250) - Potong Pasir
4th - Chung Cheng main SAP 'o' level ( cop 242) Marine Parade
5th - nan chiau SAP 'o' level (cop 244) Sengkang
6th - nan hua SAP 'o' level ( cop 245) Clementi

Not putting the nan chiau n nan Hua. Not convenient. Me staying in north area. We max 10 to 11 stns train for travelling, will be sending my girl to sch but most probably she will come back on her own. Scgs area has a direct bus to our plc

My Daughter got 244. Is it advisable to take a 3rd language. Will it be too straining.
Is it possible to drop the 3rd language mid way

Yes can drop mid way

There’s a possibility that RVHS and CGSS will inch upwards. If SCGS stays the same, you are effectively looking at your 4th choice, in the southeast.

Any tot of school setting aside 20% for affiliation? For students without any affiliation, do you all think higher/ lower chance to get in?


I have teacher’s fren who told me, that there might have higher chances since 20% set aside for non-A. Aka, That the COP for non-A might be lowered?

What do u all think?

But seem like quite many applying for cchm, she is 10 point plus, not sure chances high or not?

The answer is it depends.

For schools that have exceeded their 80% allocation in the past, COP will come down.
For schools who have yet to meet their quota, minimal changes to their COP.

Thank you for ur sharing. I Guess there isn’t any website to check what was the school allocation take up rate, right?

I am thinking of trying (all boys school). it’s 10 points above my son’s COP for non-A for 2018, and 6 points above for 2017 (Non-A).

Do u all think it’s still worth the try?

There isn’t a website to check but shouldn’t be difficult to guess. The schools at risk (or over quota) are likely to be ACS BR, SAS

hi all, i am new to this website and i would appreciate your answers .i scored 247 and i am having a hard time deciding between Nan Chiau High (COP 2018: 244) and Maris Stella (COP 2018 :237). Both are SAP schools. I like Maris stella’s programmes but i feel Nan Chiau high would push me academically. Distance isn’t a problem for me.Which one should i put as my first choice?TIA
