I suspect the COP might swing this year due to the opening of the mrt stn?

Last year 2023 L1R5 Cut off point (COP) into the various Junior Colleges, serve only as a rough guide.


The COPs this year (2024) may or may not be the same as last year, considering how competitive children born in year 2007 are, if we were to refer back to PSLE 2019, back then. Also, many students did well for O level, this year.

Quite convenient, the new station is right outside. TJC is moving, so this will become in demand esp from the east. We met students from far West sec sch previously too

Does anyone know the ESIS cut off point this year?

Not by default 8 raw?

OK. So national top 5% is from raw 6-8.

Regarding Pre-University 1 ESIS, 5% of the O-Level Cohort is 23,503 x 5% = ~1,175 (maximum number of eligibility letters issued). This figure would seem to cover more than the number of Independent School JAE spots (something like 950-1,000, RI + HCI + ACS(I) + SJI?)? To me, this is OK because a) not all of the 1,175 scoring L1R5 of 6 - 8 points gross will be SCs (eligible for ESIS) and b) not all students will scoring in this range will select an Independent School. With respect to b), the number of students "Eligible" for the award exceeds the number of students actually receiving the award once they start JC1.


Of course, the math above is subject to the reality that MOE cannot slice the cutoff at exactly 5%. L1R5 of 6 - 8 points gross could be +/- every year (and/or fluctuating with the number of candidates).

Coming back to the Secondary 1 ESIS and distribution of PSLE scores, the construction of the calculation is a bit different (need to work backward from all of the Independent School spaces available), but much of the logic is the same. With a little bit of work, I think one should be able to come up with an estimate of how many students or what percentage of the cohort ESIS covered in the t-score days (can slice the cohort one point by one point). Similar to the O Level and L1R5, the cohort cannot be diced so finely now under the AL system, so everyone can make their own assumption about what they think the distribution looks like.

thanks phtthp!

appreciate your response.
that helps and i have a better idea now. nj will definitely be 1 of the choices.
ds has esis but not considering independent schools, cannot get in anyway
you are right, must throw net further. if end up at asjc, its fine, just be a big fish hehe. i am going to assume the new location is well renovated and conducive.
