Mona Vs Lisa:
[/quote]The CO letter will just say you need to meet the aggregate for express stream. No specific COP will be stated.Have not received official letter from RGS yet (only cofirmed offer by email), dont know they will state min COP or not in the Official CO letter?
From what I know, just able to make it to express stream will do. I think that means T-score of >200?Pen88n:
[quote=\"Mona Vs Lisa\"]Any min T-score have to maintain for DSA sucessful applicant in order for RGS OR RI to accept?

The following line is copied from the CO Letter : \" However, you must still be eligible to attend the Express Stream course based on your PSLE results\"Mona Vs Lisa:

During our lunch with the principal sometime ago, we asked what is the eligibility of the Express Stream : the answer is 200
If it is to be based on the individual IP school's COP, then then DSA is meaningless -
Oh! thanks for the clarification, a bit confuse..

if the kid gets less than 200 in the t-score, his CO will be forfeited, even if the school's COP is say, 201
if the kid gets 200, or any number above 200, the CO is safe, even if the school's COP for the year is 300 -

It appears to me that RI and HCI made more COs to mainstreamers compared to RGS and NYGH. Do you have the same impression?
Not sure, my ds class has at least 4 girls who received CO from RGS so far. Not a small number? -
Allright got it! thanks!

Mainstream class? That's not a small number. Do you mind my asking which school this is?jtoh:

My girl is also not successful in the SCGS DSA exercise. Wonder how many girls does the school take in thru this year’s DSA?

snowz:
on a normal circumstances, day to day performance is a good gauge on potential t-score. push that extra bit will yield some extra points.....but there are some who can shoot up by up to 50 points from prelim to actual psle. there are the inherently smart kid who wakes up after the prelim
I think I will have second thought if the kid's T-score later is far below the school's COP.
the extreme example i quoted is meant to illustrate what is meant by confirmed offer versus the COP of the school versus the qualifying t-score of express stream (these days no more special stream)
there are some parents who insist that despite having the DSA confirmed offer, the kid must still meet the school's COP : this is incorrect and will render the DSA meaningless
