Hope that those who are not well-informed please do not give unsolicited advice which maybe detrimental to parents. Its the future of our next generation we are dealing. Every child is so precious that each must be given ample opportunities notwithstanding their PSLE performances.

my niece has T-score of 191, but my brother considering to put her to normal in better school rather then express in so so school....is it wise to do that :?

is always better to try out Express stream 1st. if your niece can't cope, then switch to Normal. otherwise, you have to be the top 5 in the Normal stream cohort to be able to switch to Express (once a yr based on your yr-end results)

Hi Innovate,


My son got 258. You had advised that RI is risky as first choice. But ‘Dharma’ suggested (in an earlier post) that I can choose RI as my first choice.

The general view appears to be - The CoP for RI was 259 last year and it is likely to fall by at least 1 or 2 marks this year since overall T-scores have fallen across all schools in 2010.

My son is keen on RI. His teacher is telling that RI CoP this year most likely will be 257. In these circumstances, I feel that it is better to put RI as my first choice. Can you please comment?

I think the issue of CoP likely to be lower this year merits due weightage in choosing schools. For 258, RI seems to be well within range this year. I seek the advice of all of you.

Thanks a lot.

Do you mean Chung Cheng (Main)? If so, the COP is 236 (236-263).

Nobody knows because the COP of that particular year is only known after the posting. But I think you are likely to get in, however, it is not guaranteed.

Is the wrong advice you hve just given! Cedar cannot be her first choice else she will blow up her chances for ST. Magaret.

I probably would take the risk for the 1st choice and 2nd as st. mag.
Based on the highest T-score lower compared to last year and there are 6 choices. 238 most prob in for 2nd choice if missed 1st.
