PSLE 2010 Results Report Here

[experiencedmother]

Chung Cheng really provides a lot of enrichment programs that expose your child for a more holistic education. There are also plenty of overseas immersion, field trips, and leadership opportunities.


COP fluctuation is quite normal for most schools, cuz this is due to the PSLE results. If you take a look at the PSLE COPs for 2009 and 2010, schools like Hwa Chong and RGS also went down.

As for Olevel results, I think every school will always have a few students who pull down the grades, but when my children were attending CCHM, the passing rate was very high. Most students were eligible for JC, and almost all could go to Poly. Even in 2009, passing rate was 98.8%.

And currently I have a niece in CCHM now, and she said that the school is now more \"kiasu\" about their ranking, so they're stricter and focusing more in terms of academic.

NotKiasuEnough:

If there are two students (A & B) with the same score, student A chooses school X as 1st choice and student B chooses school X as 2nd choice.


Does that mean student A will be accepted first?

According to MOE, it is highly unlikely that there will be two students with the exact same t-score because scores are calculated to many decimal points. So the student with the higher decimal point will get to select his school first.

my boy got A for CL and a passed for HCL, can he take HCL is sec school? I read the MOE website, it said students can take HCL if he/she is within the top 10% or a A* in CL or a MERIT in HCL, he is not within any of them.


Please advise. TIA.

my daughter got a T score 0f 234. she was very disappointed as she expected to get into Cedar. cedar is definitely not an option now. what other schools do you suggest we consider?

some schools in my mind: TKGS, CHIJ TP, Tanjong Katong Sec, CHIJ Katong.
is it possible for her to get into tkgs? their COP is 233.
thanks in advance

I believe it's possible to get into TKGS though your daughter's score is only a point higher than the cut-off point. But if she really wants to get into Cedar, maybe she can try appealing?

If your son doesn't meet any of the criteria set out by MOE, then he will not be allowed to take HCL in secondary school. HOWEVER, if he is posted to a secondary school that offers only HCL, then the school *may* allow him to take HCL.

Don't mean to be a damper, but 219 is quite far from St Hilda's non-affilated COP of 227.

Appeal to Cedar only if you have something to offer to them, otherwise, think the chances are not very high since 234 is quite far from their COP last year.

Mad-Eye Moody:

What do you mean by most? If my DS scored 254+2, is he absolutely [/b]confirmed an IP programme. It's really far from where I live, but I want an IP prog. for my son. If it is an O'level school. VS is nearer and cheaper.

Sorry for not being clear. It is actually quite easy to get into the IP programme. Usually those students who did not get into IP are because:
1. Not consistent in their study. They usually dun do well in test and exam because they are lazy to study.
2. They are lazy to prepare a proper portfolio.

ACS(I) may have changed their selection criteria. I am not sure. You may want to check with the school. What I am offering was based on my experience teaching in that school. Most of the boys I taught got into IP programme unless they choose not to. There are some parents who prefer their sons to get O-level first. If they do well in O-level, they can still return to ACS(I) to continue with the IB programme.
