Hi,

Can consider

Bukit Batok 229
Jurong Sec 228
Gan Eng Seng 227
Hua Yi 227

Thank you very much for your help!

Do you think this year, Cut off for HCI and RI is going to go down? Or go up or remain no change?

Thanks! I really hope that this year's cut off will not change much.

Did anyone with 252 or 253 record offer for foreign language ( French etc. )? This to establish the top 10% of the cohort.

My son scored 252 and was offered foreign language

ESIS 2020 - 261 ( 2019 - 261, 2018 - 260 )

= top 3% of cohort

3rd Lang 2020* - 252 ( 2019 - 250, 2018 - 252 )
* offered to SC / PR only
= top 10% of cohort

3rd Lang 2020* - 252 ( 2019 - 250, 2018 - 252 )
* offered to SC / PR only
= top 10% of cohort

I guess the trick is:

a) don't know where the DSA kids are in the distribution.
b) don't know where the NUSH kids are in the distribution (subset of a) I guess)
c) boy and girl scoring patterns
d) preference behavior / demand for schools
e) combination of a), b), c), and d) which makes something crazy happen to any individual school

???

Seems like +/- 1 for most would be a good bet but I do not follow this year after year...

U mean u are offered third language but only category 1 (Malay) & 2 (Arabic/Bahasa Indonesia)? U don't see Cat 3?

My dd got in her eligibility letter, third language:-
- Category 1 : 09 - Malay
- Category 2 : 56 - Arabic / 58 - Bahasa Indonesia
- Category 3 : 06 - French / 07 - Japanese / 08 - German / 65 - Spanish

If so, there is COP for different categories of third languages?
