One more thing though. Don't go for an IP school unless you want a large dose of classroom politics, homework and pressure.

And your evidence for that is?

I studied in an IP school, and I really enjoyed myself. The homework is managable (and it teaches you good time managemet skills, something absolutely necessary for Uni), the peer pressure was healthy and my classmates were great. Competitive, but always helpful and certainly not the kind to stab you in the back. The pressure comes not so much from others, but more from yourself actually IMO.

All of the things you said are found in most schools, not just IP schools.

Go for it livewith_vanilla!

May I ask which IP school are you from?

And your evidence for that is? ...

I am STUDYING in an IP school, and while I love this whole system and all, I find my classmates absolutely disgusting. It varies from school to school, really. In my school, almost everyone is for backstabbing, someone stole my notes before the exams, and I actually kept them painstakingly in a file in my bag. Go figure.

I am so afraid of that. May I ask which school are you from?

But EESIS COP for 2008 was 263 whereas in 2010 it's down to 260. Therefore the performance of students in 2010 is weaker in 2010 than 2008. Hence, I would expect COP of RGS this year to be about 259 and not in the region of 265.

I agree with your RGS COP estimate, maybe it might be 260, but certainly not 265. EESIS is the best indicator of the top COPs. I think in 2007, RGS COP was 266 vs 264 EESIS.

First thing first, where do you stay? West, etc etc? Not all schools with a COP of 210++ is a lousy school. In my experience, I'm in a T-score 210++ school, and my class/school mates are one of the most hardworking people I've ever seen, it really depends on the individual.

area- Bishan, AMK or Toa Payoh. Sorry, please don't feel offended. I mean I need school with less \"ah beng\". After seeing news on gang fights, I'm worried.

As mentioned earlier. With 210, can try Peirce Sec. Definitely not 'gangster school' because the discipline there is strict.[/quote]Thank you for your advice. OK, will check up school profile. At least, one school on list now...sourcing for 2-6th schools...

\"COP for most schools should be higher this year\" - appreciate if you can elaborate the reason.

Just my observation over the years.

When the papers are easy, top scorer will be around 280. When 1 or more papers are killer, top scorer will be more than 285.

When papers are easy, COP for RGS is about 265 and when there is a tough paper, COP for RGS is about 262.

I think it has got to do with the \"spread\" or standard deviation. When paper is easy, the spread will be smaller so many students will be bunched together in the range of 250 to 275.

I share the same analysis as you in general. Although I'm wondering now - in 2008 and 2010, both years had easy papers. But EESIS COP for 2008 was 263 whereas in 2010 it's down to 260. Therefore the performance of students in 2010 is weaker in 2010 than 2008. Hence, I would expect COP of RGS this year to be about 259 and not in the region of 265.[/quote]thanks jtoh and atutor2001. can only say both of your comments make sense.

Parents excercise your choices wisely. Value added is the most important criteria for selection of neighbourhood schools. For high scorers your top choice must not exceed 2 pts from your T-score and your second choice must be in line with your grade.
