Actually it’s fairly obvious in “choosing your secondary school”.Zeal mummy\" post_id=\"2005469\" time=\"1606580898\" user_id=\"58173:[quote=\"Zeal mummy\" post_id=2005469 time=1606580898 user_id=58173]Agree w you both, Cheeriomama and Xiaomingiconic. Floppy is trying to say the other person is asking the obvious. Maybe not so obvious to everyone.
Hahaha ok la ok la
Not to mention, 260 is HIGHER than the COP of both RI and HCI.[/quote] -

Score of 260 shouldn't ask the question of whethe can get in to CHS O level. That's 10 points Higher. -
A parent is even asking if the COP is known at this stage. This goes to show that some parents are seeking for answers or assurance from experienced parents in this forum.
I like zeal_mummy’s clarifications. Thanks.
This is not a thread in Recess so no matter how obvious the answers may seem to many of us who already had experience in the process, I hope we can try not to joke about their questions.
Thanks. -
Child aiming for ip school 1, she has 2 points above it’s last year’s cop. 2nd choice ip school 2, she has 10 points above it’s last year’s cop. In the event that she doesn’t successfully get ip school 1, will the computer allocate spaces to all those who put ip school 2 as first choice first, meaning those will lower t scores will be chosen first and she will be allocated to her 3rd choice school instead?

No. Choice doesn't matter.

i am curious where you are staying as your choices are in all very far apart.
Hi, would like to ger the advice for the choices we have. DS has 246+2
1. RV 253 (DS insists to put this though we have told him chance is almost NIL.)
2. CHS O 249
3. Nanhua 246
4. Bt panjang 244
5. Chung Cheng yishun 241
6. Yishun town 239
Is it safe enough to put yishun town as #6? Or I should another one which has even lower COP? Any other suggestions of school in west/north west area? -

The allocation process has been touch upon in Timmy21 post early this morning. You may refer to it for details.

When was the DSA per school reduced ? Someone mentioned the recent years’ COP is more accurate as DSA allocation was reduced in recent years . Thanks !

At 260,
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
Yes, your son can enter Catholic High (O-level).
Last year (2019), the Cut-off was at 249, for O-level.
COP for CHS (O-level) is normally (above 250, below 255). Hence your son at 260, Yes, qualify to enter CHS (O-level)
https://sis.moe.gov.sg/SchoolDetails.aspx?schoolCode=7102
=======================
If your P6 son is from the affliated Catholic High primary but he is not keen in EJC and prefer to try other IP schools instead of CHS (IP) but worry that COP going to increase this year and want to come back to Catholic High (O-level) later on but already lost the affliation advantage because you had placed some other schools as #1 choice instead of CHS,
Example
1) RI
2) Hwa Chong
3) Catholic High (O level)
4) ...
No worry,
can still come back to Catholic High (O level) because your 260 is high enough for O level track -

Answer to your question:

1) Yes, with a score of 260, the chance of entering CHS O level track is 100%. (historically high was 251)
2) It is not ONLY 20% goes to non-affiliation, it is AT LEAST 20%. There are students in CHS primary who don't take affiliation to CHS but choose other schools so affiliation students may be less than 80% then non-affiliation will be more than 20% hence don't worry about too many students choose CHS O level and COP goes above 260, that's impossible.
Some advices to you:
1) With 260, is CHS O level your son's 1st choice? I suppose you will put other schools with higher COP at higher order.
2) Why only O level not IP IB? If your son is only interested in O level track, which JC would he like to go later? For O level track, he will still need to go through O level exam in order to get into his dream JC. Other than making a tough try 4 years later, why not choose his dream school with JC for 6 years straight? A score of 260 is more than COP of any top schools for boys in recent few years. His chances are high.
3) When you say your child isn't interested in IP at all, I suppose you mean CHS IP as it only leads to Eunoia JC (of course EJC is a very good JC.)
Congrats for your child for such a good result, hope he can make to the dream school he likes.
