Just for discussion’s sake, I offer the opposing view:
Yes I also have a nagging suspicion that the COP will rise 2 to 3 points... :yikes:Elvin_03_10\" post_id=\"1950834\" time=\"1575127964\" user_id=\"182407:
Hi parents, this is my personal opinion regarding RV's COP,and I would be glad if you can voice out your opinions.
IMO, RV's COP will rise to about 255 as I have heard that many students did well. Moreover, RV is the only top school in the West and I am very sure that majority of the west will choose this school.
pls let me know what you think!
:thankyou:
RV is the only IP SAP school in the FAR west.
Not all the top scorers live near Jurong West. Some may live closer to another IP school in the central-west.
Some may not be Chinese.
Some may not like the uniform/curriculum.
Plenty of such reasons why some people won’t choose RV.
Don’t worry about your “competitors”. They may simply be an illusory character in your mind. -

Pull factors are the recent good A level results and the first Presidents' Scholar from RV's IP.
The last big changes in COP were a 5-point drop from 256 in 2013 to 251 in 2014 and a 4-point rise from 249 in 2015 to 253 in 2016. Will we see such a big swing again this year?

Remember someone posted this chart earlier?
If I assume it’s real, then this year’s top school COP should be up cos as we can see that there are more top scorers in 2019 compared to 2018.
Quite interesting to note that in 2018, if your tscore is 265, then you are ranked 483, and in year 2019, for the same tscore, you are ranked 730. Thus, even for the same tscore, it should never be used to compare across different cohorts.
Last year, indeed there was a large number of 23X-24X compared to this year, due to an easier paper. No wonder some 23X schools’ COP jumped as high as +7 -

I would rather said the school is strengthening the core steadily over the years. Results will show eventually. -

haha, i think the definition of WEST is critical... probably west of Jurong East MRT station, RV is indeed the best.

I think RV COP has been remarkably consistent:

2019 - 252
2018 - 250
2017 - 251
2016 - 253
2015 - 249
2014 - 251
2013 - 256
2012 - 254
2011 - 253
2010 - 251
2009 - 254
2008 - 254
2007 - 253
Since hitting 256, they have been hovering in the low 250s. Since last year’s results also correspond with their strongest / stronger cohort, the next few years will be interesting to see whether they can maintain and value add. -
What happen, to River Valley High (IP) ?
in 2013 (went up highest to 256), then the immediate following year 2014, dropped 5 points so much, down to 251 ?
