Any idea what is the COP for Crescent Girls and St Marg?one would expect most of RGPS girls to make it to RGS....but competition being so stiff with COP at 260 or above, how many 260 does RGPS produce every year ?
would RGS ask RGPS to change name ?
I was told RGPS prepares the girls well for GEP, are there generally a higher GEP intakes from RGPS students? -

It would be naive to assume that most RGPS girls would make it to RGS. COP at RGS is typically Top 3% of entire cohort. I doubt any school can churn out a MAJORITY of students scoring at Top 3% of cohort.one would expect most of RGPS girls to make it to RGS....but competition being so stiff with COP at 260 or above, how many 260 does RGPS produce every year ?

A lot of RGPS girls make it to Crescent and St Margarets. The COP for these schools is 240 and 238 respectively. That would be about Top 20% of cohort (I'm guessing here). That is a very respectable result. -
I have a pair of twins (1 boy and 1 girl). We are living between 1 and 2 km from both RGPS and HPPS. It make sense to try 2B for HPPS since both son and daughter can go together. But I like RGPS very much and hope to enrol my daughter there. Any advice would be apperciated.

I see, how would this result fair relative to the other schools like Tao Nao, St Hilda's and Maha Bodi? My niece who's from Maha Bodi told me her school also has an average PSLE score of 230 to 240. Impressive, if her stats is right. -

Check out Maha Bodhi website. Download their 2009 PSLE result and you can see that they have 44 students achieving 250+ and above. I doubt their mean PSLE score can be 230+ as it means all their other students must achieve at least 200+. The above is based on an assumption of 300 P6 students. -

If u qualify for 2B then I would think HPPS be easier on logistics issues in future. Else u have to run both ways for 6 years! -

I estimate Maha Bodhi 2009 avg T-score to be about 215 based on their published A/A* results for EL/MA/SC/CL results of 50.4/55.5/51.9/90.8.

Estimate RGPS to be around 232-235 based their published 2010 target of 80/80/72/93. Whilst RGPS and Nanyang supplies the largest number of students to RGS (partly due to GEP), the majority of students at RGPS certainly dont end up at RGS. -

Your estimate is accurate. Occassionary I do see wrong figures/info being given in this forum but I choose to disregard it. With 37.5% of pupils unable to make the express stream cut, the mean PSLE T-score is approximately 205. The three best performing schools are NYPS,RGPS and TOA NAN.
No school has more than half of its pupils scoring 250 above. -

For a while now, I've been puzzled by schools indicating that the National average PSLE is around 207. I thot that the avg T-score would be 200 by design. I fudged my 215 estimate; the unfudged score is 212 but decided that adding another 3 (out of the 7 difference) would be closer.hoskins8h

My guess about top average T scores is probably NYPS although it's entirely anecdotal as I dont have data. MGS probably has slight edge over Tao Nan, and perhaps about same as RGPS (no data except 2010 \"aim\" which I take to be close to past performance).
%A/A* EL Maths Sci CL
2007 TaoNan 86.1% 71.5% 73.4% 90.8%
2010 RGPS aim 80.0% 80.0% 72.0% 93.0%
2007 MGS\t 90.6% 74.5% 81.3% 84.2%
Data comes from internet, estimates are my own. My child's school doesnt do T-score estimate so had to do my own estimates. It has been interesting speculating about each school's score based on publicly available data. Schools tend to be coy about avg T score and many only reveal the A/A* % which I think is useful to estimate the average T score.
