You worried too much. Since MOE released a guideline last year, I believe they most probably will not change this year. AL4 and 5 can go any school they want.
Based on historical T-score COP and 2020 indicative AL COP, the only school with a risk of AL 5 COP is RGS because COP for 2019 and 2020 was 261 and 260 respectively (both without HCL), while we know the lowest possible t-score for AL5 is around 261.
AL grade is determined using raw scores, so there is really no way for MOE to interfere with PSLE results or to block the possibility of AL5 balloting.
For RGS all it takes is to have 1 AL5 too much to force the entire pool of AL5 applicants to go through balloting.
e.g. RGS : 400 places,
DSA : 120 places
Balance : 280 places
AL4 : 130 applicants
AL5 : 151 applicants
From the above, all 151 applicants with AL5 will have to go through balloting.
And that to me is the scary part because just 1 applicant, the entire country will raise the gold standard of PSLE from AL5 to AL4. -
Not for direct school posting exercise. for something else. useful or not, will know before xmas. good if Veyron can share if 257 is close.

It makes you wonder how come you must submit by 3pm, doesn’t it? In this day and age, I’m sure they would have not problems keeping the doors opened until 12am. Oh well… we live in regimented Singapore…

There will be 4 pointers and 5 pointers heading to SJI. It’s a good school and among the top choices for people outside of KSP.
Hi Everyone
I was reading thru all the posting for the past few days and I am just curious and wish to clarify on consideration for Secondary school.
My boy gotten - AL5 (total) for his PSLE.
Of course we are overjoyed as we believe he can go for any school he wanted, we are at his side, providing advise to his school selection but we are clear that he will be the one to make the final choice.
He final 1st choice is: SJI (IP) - aiming to do IB
As he's from a Lasallian Primary school hence a lot of his current classmate is also heading to the same institute. As we were looking thru all the comments there's little mention of SJI. IS there any reason? or just its a good school but not the top choices?
It’s just not part of KSP flavor of the month. -

Generating don’t take so long. This is probably so that parents will have less time to appeal and make any changes to the final sorting result. :siam: And maybe to let traveling families plan their holidays early and to be fair to those not physically here when the results are out. Believe it’s the same reason why their form classes are always announced very late in the year. All the best and enjoy the hols! -

Yup, small and 4 classes of about 30 girls in each class.
MGS will not have the IP cohort size of 350. I think it may only be a few classes.
