Can I ask for those who got CO - is there a conditional acceptance like the child must get AL 9 (for example) in PSLE then will be confirmed? For example for IP schools.

Also have similar question - whether anybody got CO from IP schools via Math/Science with overall AL around 12. My DS has Gold in NMOS and SPSO, HD in RIPMWC but Top 20 in none and getting about 70+ in languages. Should we be even expecting a shortlist for IP.

That's what I thought so too. But my friends are telling me DSA to HCI/NYGH etc need PSLE of AL 9 (for example) to qualify and confirm the DSA…

I’ve been told this as well. But as far as I know they only need to meet MOE express cop.
Not sure why there’s alot of conflicting views.

Is your DS in p5 now? If so, there is time to improve on his school grades. My sense is that if the school grades are not too far off from the actual cut off, the awards should be able to cover to a certain extent. In P6 there will also be SMOPS and APMOPS to aim for. You could also send your child for credible external competitions like AMC 8 and 10 to beef up his math portfolio. Good luck!

Any news from Chung Cheng High (Main)?

Very unlikely to shortlist for the interview round especially when your child is in GE. As mentioned by another forummer, since your child is only P5, he still have time to pull up his language score to at least AL3. He needs to put in effort in the coming EOY. Good luck!

Thank you all for your feedback. Really appreciate that. Yes he is in GE. I hope he can take things more seriously now and improve his school grades. Best wishes to all the kids for coming exams.

It is an unfair comparison…


Geppers are given a diff exam papers hence benchmarking is different. Lest Chinese, but it may differ from school to school, some of the geppers do GEP Chinese. Of course assuming your child is taking Chinese as MT.

Once Prelims comes, they will join their peers to take the Mainstream exams.

Dont need kan chiong….

AL11 is not too far from its cutoff point so I would say very good chance.
Jiayouz!

:thankyou: you’re so kind

Usually she’s at AL8 but this time prelim she made quite a careless mistakes in her math
