I was talking to a friend (ex St Nic mummy) and she told me quite a handful of her friends’ daughters gunning for St Nic IP and SCGS IP. Their children like Eunoia JC !! She said she was surprised.

I am not surprised : ) My daughter’s sec sch frens are all aiming for EJC, used to be just NYJC, ACJC, SAJC, RI etc Now it is literally just EJC.
I brought my son to CatHigh for a looksee. He was okok there. Then we drove passed EJC, his comments were “Woah! OMG! WTH! Siao!” lol

So drama :rotflmao:

Hi,


Any idea on how did the 2019 cohort do in Science. Seeing too few a A* in Science (here and there). There were a lot more A* in English and Maths though the papers were considered difficult and a lot of them were stunned after exiting the exam hall.

A lot of them in my DD’s class unexpectedly scored A* in English and Maths. Looked the aggregate scores were skewed towards those kids who did well in these 2 subjects.

Any knowledge on this…

Given the strong interest in direct route into EJC, will the COP for CHS IP, SNGS IP and SCGS IP going to spike up from this year? Will be interesting to see! [/quote] should rise, maybe by 1 point

SCGS (IP) : go up to 253

SNGS (IP) : go up to 256 ?

Hi,

Rudimentary question. For comparison, how the 2019 cohort did overall,

1) What is the ESIS cut-off? The top one-third is based on how many independent school places? Do we include SSS, SST, SOTA etc?

2) What is the cut-off for 10% of the cohort offered Cat C third language?

Can someone who has it list down 2019 vs 2018 vs 2017?

Thanks so much..

Any knowledge on this...

This year (2019), A * for Maths :

dropped to 85 or 86,
after adjustment (moderation), to the entire PSLE cohort (thousands of children), with the Pattern questions ?

dun think the Math A* bar was lowered by so much. If 91 is in a relatively easier year, i think this year it is perhaps 88?
