2020 PSLE Discussions and Strategies(for those born in 2008)

[dearest]

My son scored 252 and was offered foreign language

[CheerioMama]

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

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...

Hi, i scored 251 but did nit receive an offer for foreign language, only received offer for arabic, malay and bahasa

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?

Thanks for the past years stats!

Btw, 2020 refers to graduating class this year right?

Judging from the increased qualifying score for third language, I expect COP of above-average schools to rise.

[quote=678Yess post_id=2004952 time=1606468751 user_id=7364]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.[/quote]IMHO, can ignore 2016 & earlier (DSA quota 50% compared to current 30 to 35%)

RI (with the exception of 2018) = ESIS - 2.
So 259

HCI (with the exception of 2018) = ESIS - 3 or 4.
So 258 or 257.

Of course there may be exceptions like those years that I pointed out.

Congrats for such good results and all the best to your son! :rahrah:

U r most welcome.

If we know the highest t score in most schools we may have an even clearer picture on how the 2020 cohort has fared as compared to previous years.

Yes, 2020 refers to t score achieved in 2020.

Hi,

i scored 251 but did not receive an offer for foreign language, only received offer for arabic, malay and bahasa[/quote]

Because this year 2020 Psle batch (born 2008) Top 10% Cut-off was at

252

hence, only students who scored 252 & above,

qualify to study 3rd foreign language (Spanish / German/ French / Japanese), at MOELC (Bishan / Newton)


Those who do Not fall within Top 10 %, including students from Express / Normal stream, will still qualify to learn

Bahasa Indonesian / Malay / Arabic


==========================


Hi Random person,

your 251 Tscore is an excellent great score !

Unfortunately,
at 251, you have missed the Top 10% Psle cut-off at 252, by 1 point.

As such, cannot proceed
to learn 3rd foreign language at MOELC , but you can still learn

Bahasa Indonesian / Malay / Arabic, at MOELC premises
