        This year (2024),

        the two IB Independent schools (ACSI + SJI) have lowered their Cut off point (COP), for JAE admission.

        The piggies batch (born in 2007), overall, has performed much better than the earlier born in 2006 batch. As such,

        - IB (ACSI) has lowered from COP 5 points to 4 points nett, for admission.

        - IB (SJI) has lowered from COP 7 points to 6 points nett, for admission.

        ===========================

        Is not easy to score 4 points or 6 points, nett. Thus, students who are keen to pursue IB curriculum instead of A-level,


        1) it may be easier to get into IB, at PSLE time (aged 12),


        2) perhaps easier to seek transfer, at the end of Sec 2 into IB (ACSI / SJI), than to solely
        depend (rely) on your O level results.

          I thought cop is more of a demand and supply thing, rather than the cohort performing better overall? Hypothetically, meaning to say if the 2 to 4 pointers today all choose YIJC, then YIJC will also become the top jc based on cop…

            Depend on both factors

            1) the performance of the overall cohort, plus

            2) the demand, for that particular JC / IB / Polytechnic course

              Was told, 6-2 is better than 8-4.
              It matters when balloting is required for the net aggregate score COP for a course in the JC. Citizenship status first. So if balloting is required for students with same citizenship status (e.g., SC), then yes, better gross aggregate score will be considered (i.e., 6-2 is better than 7-3 which is better than 8-4).

                        I'm a TJC alumni, but I think VJC may be more prestigious. However, it all boils down to the student and less on the school. If your son is outstanding in his JC, it will speak volumes, much more than the school itself.
