Hi, need opinion on the schools being rank as below orders is it risky for score 246 + 3 ? Thanks

1) Anglican High
Or 2) Dunman High
2) Chung Cheng High
3) Dunman High
Or 3) Temasek JC
4) Temasek JC
5) St Anonthy Cannosian Sec
6) Paya Lebar Methodist

i think dunman high is risky. their cop is like 255, and even though it's a SAP school and your hcl points will be added (246 + 3 = 249) and 255 is kind of far from 249. and their cop has never dropped below 250 (for the past 13 years)
Dunman High's COP*
2021 -
2020 - 255 (-6)
2019 - 256 (-4)
2018 - 255 (-7)
2017 - 257 (-5)
2016 - 258 (-4)
2015 - 253 (-5)
2014 - 256 (-2)
2013 - 256 (-6)
2012 - 256 (-4)
2011 - 257 (-3)
2010 - 258 (-3)
2009 - 260 (-3)
2008 - 260 (-4)
2007 - 258 (-4)

it's usually 255+, so i dont think you can get into dunman high with 249. but if you really want to go there, then just put it there.

the others should be okay! all the best

There are some of the ones you are looking for in the following link. There were some changes with the DSA intake a few years ago so I think people generally trust the recent data more (I think the intro of various IP programmes may have changed things too but this should not matter for the last few years).

Caveat is that all of these COPs can change for reasons that don't seem obvious (or at least obviously predictable ahead of time).

...
Smaller cohort of only 4 Express class which is 130-150 students.
As compare to full Express stream school of 240-300 students per cohort.
...

I’ll pick the school with 240 to 300 express students per cohort. The main advantage is choice / variety.

These schools may offer triple science with any humanity subject if that’s your fancy (although you probably have to join another class if you are the minority), or double sciences in a number of combo (lit + history, history + geo, lit + geo, physics + Chem, Chem + bio etc). As a result , you can pick something you desire or is very good in.

My nephew is from a school with 4 express classes. My kids school all 10 are express classes. I think you may be right: school with all classes express can offer more subject combination option in Sec
3: schools with both express/normal streams
have limited subject combination offering.

Maybe others can validate this assumption

DD score 241+2, we are staying in Jurong. Hope to have some advises.

The 6 choices as follows:
1. Nan Hua (246) had told that chances very slim but she insist on trying..haiz
2. Crescent Girl (243)
3. Commenwealth (239)
4. Fairfield (243)
5. Fuhua (236)
6. Jurong sec (228)

Seems okay except your no.4 is redundant becos if u dun get commonwealth, u also won’t get Fairfield.

Hello,

I have a question on Sec1 submit.

I've read below MOE link.
https://www.moe.gov.sg/microsites/psle-fsbb/posting-to-secondary-school/faqs.html
I can see comment below.
Students are first ranked by academic merit (T-score Aggregate).
The first student to be considered has the highest T-score Aggregate and will automatically be posted to the school that is their first choice.
The next student is then considered and school places vacancies in secondary schools are filled up one by one.

Does it mean below case?
E.g. My child is 1500th ranked student
After posting the 1499th student to a school considering 1st to 6th choice,
then the computer will look at my child(1500)'s 1st choice whether school still has vacancy?
and check 2nd choice ...until 6th choice?
After that the computer will look at 1501th Student posting?

Hi,

I have a question. Secondary schools with affiliation to primary sch allocates only 20% of its vacancies to non-affiliation students. With a score of 260, what are the chances of entering Catholic High O levels track ? ( my child isn’t interested in IP at all)
Tks

Zero chance. Majority of CHS non-affiliated students are scoring 261 and above.

Seriously, you are expecting a different answer?

COP of CHS OP for non-affiliated students is 261? Wow, this is very high.
