Why NYGH indicative COP is AL7(M) and not AL6 is because under the t score system, SAP school COP includes HCL bonus. This means NYGH 259 includes 256+3, 257+2, 258+1 and 259+0. But under the AL system, no more HCL bonus included in the AL scores, only priority admission within the same AL. So it explains why NYGH indicative AL cop is AL7 (min=256+3).
2020 NYGH COP was 259+2 or AL7(M).
Why 259 is AL7 and not AL6, that is a little puzzling because RI 259 and MGS 257 were both AL6.
So for 2021, it's highly possible that NYGH may be bumped up to AL6 because AL6 with lower t-score of say 257 will be placed ahead of A7(D) -

But her 2nd choice is DHS which is SAP school. So her 7D would be ahead of all the rest of 7's. It's not likely that COP for DHS would be 6 so I'd say 7D is very safe for DHS.
2020 NYGH COP was 259+2 or AL7(M).SkYan\" post_id=\"2048802\" time=\"1637935270\" user_id=\"196053:
DD got AL7(D), thinking about following choices :
1) NYGH 7(M)
2) DHS 8(D)
3) Cedar IP 8
4) Cedar O 9
5) Crescent 11
6) PLMGS 11
Can I have some advice on whether choices 1 & 2 are reasonable and stand some chance?
Thanks alot

In that scenario, if she prefers NYGH, I'd say putting it as 1st choice to try out her luck won't do any harm. -

Yes, additionally for some reason people keep mixing up data from different years.

Indicative AL COPs are from 2020 PSLE.
2020 PSLE T-score COPs
RGS = 260
NYGH = 259
MGS IP(IB) = 258
2019 PSLE T-score COPs
RGS = 261
NYGH = 261
MGS IP(IB) = 257 -

NYGH COP for 2020 was 261 AL7(M), which is why I have indicated its 259+2

Why 259 is not AL6? That is just that because AL7 score range can be as high as 275 if AL1 subject are in the high 90s.
Will that all change for 2021? That is highlight possible because a 257 AL6 is now rank ahead of 259+2 -

Hello Strongmum
My DS score AL7,he didn't take HCL
Please advise which options will be a safer choice based on the COP
we stay in north west area
Option 1
1. HCI (7M)
2. ACSI (7)/NJC (7)
3. SJI (8)
4. RVHS (9D)
5. Nan Hua (11D)
6. SJI Express (12)
Option 2
1. HCI (7M)
2. SJI (8)
3. RVHS (9D)
4. Nan Hua (11D)
5. SJI Express (12)
6. Bukit Panjang Gov High ( 11)
Congrats on your son achievement. AL7 is remarkable result.
Your son's and ours choices are kinda similar. I supposed we are staying around the the same area. As what a few experts here advised me, your son should have good chance for RVHS at AL7 even without HCL. Maybe just one AL11 backup plan in case of anomaly.
By the way, just a thought.. If your son doesn't mind started off at EXP, maybe he can consider ACS(I) EXP at AL9. If he performs well at Sec1 & Sec2, there is a chance for promotion to IP track at Sec3. But as one expert here said, gotta to note that ACS(I) IP leads to IB, and not A level.
It is good that he considers SJI. A pity that my son joined SJI e-Open House and told me the presentation was boring, and he learned nothing, and scratched it off his list. :roll:
Anyway, good luck for you and your son.

Hi everyone,my girl got AL12. I’m thinking of the following:
1. Commonwealth Secondary School AL8-12
2. Zhong Hua Secondary School AL9-13
3. Clementi Town Secondary School AL8-14
4. Gan Eng Seng School AL7-15
5. Ang Mo Kio School AL11-16
6. Queensway Secondary School AL11-17
We are PR, should I try Crescent Girl School AL11 as the first choice?
Appreciate your advice. -

Interesting, but confusing problem. It doesn't make much sense for the local student to get VS since that is not what he wants. I thought the tie-breakers come into play only when the 2 students have the same schools at the same priority level? ie. both of them specify VS as their 1st choice??[/quote]Remember the last student determines the COP of the school. Since foreigner has 8D, then 8D is the COP of DHS.
Someone above just made a good pt that the last student determines the COP. In this case, VS COP is 8 (it doesn’t matter what’s DHS COP). The local student will get VS (citizenship higher priority than order of choices) while foreign student will go to DHS.iRabbit\" post_id=\"2048476\" time=\"1637857265\" user_id=\"51587:
[quote=brfish post_id=2048465 time=1637855626 user_id=102306]I came up with a simpler example.
Suppose two students, one local and one foreigner, competing for last seat in Dunman High and Victoria.
The foreigner has AL 8D and his choices are
1. Victoria IP
2. Dunman High
The local student has AL 8M and his choices are
1. Dunman High
2. Victoria
Who goes to which school?
From Dunman High perspective, 8D is better than 8M so 8D should get it. From Victoria perspective, local student has priority so the local student should get it.
Or, MOE can let both students go to their first choice and everyone is happy
Edit: see below for S1 posting priority
https://www.moe.gov.sg/microsites/psle-fsbb/posting-to-secondary-school/changes-to-s1-posting.html
In this case, local with his 8M has not chance for DHS. Good scenario for brain workout. -

My opinion is very low chance. In fact, I have a hunch that HCI can be AL6 COP this year.
