Hi Amk,
Thank you for the reply. No problem on year but IP and Express notes wouldn't be different?.Pls advise

Haha.. sorry. I'm not sure.
I asked her. She wasn't sure too.
But, she said IP learnt upper secondary Geography, Science could be same.

Dear parents/students of Cedar,

my child has obtained 249 and even though she is at the borderline of the cutoff point, we are considering for the ‘O’ level program of Cedar. We have some concerns and your input will greatly help us to make the decision.
Assuming she is lucky to get into the school of her choice:
Since she is at the borderline for last year’s cutoff point, we worry that she is not as academically strong when compared to her peers who entered the school with higher tscores, hence, making it more pressurized for her to perform. Any insights on my thought?
I also understand that at Sec 3 they will be split into different classes based on the combinations given. Is it true that those who are taking the combined science will be at a disadvantage when they select JC?

Cedar Girls Sec is a dual-track IP school.


As such,
being a dual-track IP school,
nobody offer any Sec 3 Combined Science subject combination.

At end of Sec 2 streaming, students in the O-level track can choose

- Double Pure Sciences + Double Humanities

Or

- Triple Pure Sciences + Single Humanities


There is No Combined Science offered, inside Cedar


2019 Psle batch (born 2007 piggies)

Cut-off-point (O-level track ) : 249

with median: 251

Once your daughter start Sec 1, nobody will ask her for her past Tscore anymore, because everybody start afresh, from the same common starting point.

A lot, will depend on her own learning attitude, plus her ownership of responsibility in her own learning journey. If a student know how to set her own goals & objective in life, even if she enter Cedar at the admission Cut-off-point, 4 years later, she can graduate from Cedar being one of the Top O-level graduates. So, don't let this border-line \"249\" Tscore \"freeze\" you mentally. This Psle Tscore is only a snapshot, captured at a certain moment only. It doesn't define your daughter at all.

All the best, to a good starting learning journey in Cedar

phtthp , thank you for the encouraging reply!


We love the culture of Cedar and it has always been our first choice.

She is disappointed with her results as she had expected much higher. However, we have throughout the years, seen the tremendous effort put in by her and she definitely has the right learning attitude. However, sometimes it seems that no matter how hard she studied, her standard is as such. We are only worried that everyone’s abilities has its limit and do not want to put her in unnecessary stress.

IMHO, hard for Cedar's COP to come down to 246. But you never know, so my advise is to just try. But do put other schools that your DD meets the COP of as a safety net. All the best and congrats on the great PSLE score :rahrah:

:congrats:

2020 COP for Cedar O-Level Programme is 249. I think the lowest it has gone down in recent years is 248 in 2014. You have 6 choices so no harm putting Cedar. Just make sure your 5th and 6th choices are very safe.

All the best to your gal. :rahrah:

Cedar Girls Secondary is a dual track IP school, a popular school picked by students staying in the east or around Joo Seng / Potong Pasir


For O-level track,
Cedar Girls cut-off-point unlikely to drop to low 246

However, still can go ahead and put Cedar inside your 6 choices, as long as your last two choices, #5 and #6 are safety net schools, with at least 5 to 10 points below your own Tscore

Example

TKGS can be your #5 or #6 choice.

TKGS offer Economics in Sec 3, a wise choice school !

Thumbs up, TKGS

Hi all,


Are there parents who have girls travelling from the West (Clementi) to CGS?
How long does it take to reach in the morning peak hour?
Do you travel by MRT (EW line->Circle line->NE line), drop at Potong Pasir and walk 15 mins to school?

Thanks!

Hi, walking with a heavy bag for 15 minutes to and from school to the bus stop that is 15 mins walk outside the school. The walking distance actually put off a few of my friends’ daughters from considering the school and if you do not mind walking despite travelling a long duration to get to school, you can choose. Prepare to walk 15 mins daily after an exhausting long day in school from Cedar Sec to the bus stop that is 15 minutes away!

I was wondering why you did not consider Crescent Girls since it is located in South-West and you can take the train from Clementi which is nearer to your location.

There are other girls’ school that have direct bus 3 or 4 stops from train station to right-in-front-of the Sec school too. I think PLMGS is too far for you since you are in Clementi. I think the affiliated JC - ACJC is located near to Clementi area.
