It was AL8 and AL10 respectively since 2021 PSLE.

Maybe more parents/students are now more aware of viable alternatives like IB, the strengths of an IB education and the benefits of doing IB here !!!

Next year boys with 7 points will have a headache to choose between Hwa Chong or SJI IB cos I am sure both schools will ballot around AL7 (or AL7M for HCI) first choice.

Wow, quite far off from my predicted 21. Well done to the brave 25 who applied!

[zac's mum]

I wonder what the PG2 COP for TKGS is then? Is that the only other school commencing PG2 intake in 2024?

Hearsay HCI COP is 7D but not verified.
Seem like boys performance is strong this year.

Not only because of IB, but I also feel that this year's PSLE questions are easier, resulting in a decrease of 1 or 2 points in the COP for almost every school:
- HCI has changed from 7M to 7D
- Chung Cheng(main) and Nan Hua have both changed to 10M, which was 11 last year
- Anglican High has also changed from 14P to 12M
...

TKSS also. I think these are the only 3 (“plain vanilla”) govt schools which had only express stream before.

If many top tier sec schools’ COP improve (AL8 to AL7, AL7M to AL7D…) and assuming vacancies/intake is around the same as last year’s, does that mean that more students did well this year as compared to last year?
