verykiasu2010:

S1 posting is based on merit


enough said. need no further elaboration

my strategy would be this :

1st choice : dream school, despite the points shortage

2nd choice : must be sure to get in.

in case die die cannot get into dream school, will have no regrets living with second choice

while in second choice, work hard (academically & connection-wise) for a transfer to dream school, through various appeals channel

With 255+2, I am seriously not sure if my son will \"shine\" in hci if he manages to get in since he will be the bottom of the cohort but if I don't seize this chance of letting him try out in an ip school, will we regret it in future?

In hci, is the allocation of classes bases on t score so all those who juz made it will go to the bottom classes or each class has a mix of students?

HCI has 4 mini schools or consortium

iSpark is for GEPpers, the other 3 are for the rest

the school says consortium / class allocation is \"random\"

and again when they enter JC1, each class will be allocated to one of four \"consortiums\", Apollo, Ares, Artemis and Athena if I recalled correctly. maybe i am moving too far ahead :oops:

[quote=\"WeiHan\"]I think whether this year COP will drop is a hard question to answer because it depends on the number of students getting a certain range of scores.


For example, the top scores dropping this year does not mean that the number of students getting 260 and above will drop.

So, we have many KSP parents detectives all over the island, what is the general feeling, whether there is an increase number of students with 250 tscore than last year? From the Nanyang Primary school statistics, I see that the number of students with t-score more than 250 has increased, even though the score of the top students have dropped. If this is true generally across all primary schools, it means that schools with COP of around 250 last year may increase in COP this year.

I live in the west and I have gathered data from schools in this zone. Based on my data I can say that the number of students with t-score of more than 250 has dropped. That is why I am confident that the CoP is likely to be lower this year, although not very significantly, but by at least 1 or 2 marks.

Kiasu Parents from other zones, please comment. Thanks to all.

Can someone tell me what is the COP for 3rd Lang (top 10%). This COP is usually around 250. Last year was 248. With this info, we can estimate whther there is an increase/ decrease of the numbers of student scored between 250 and 259.

We already knew 260 is the top 3% (EESIS awards). Therefore the nos. of ppl scored 260 and above is 45000 x 3% = 1350[/quote]My son scored 252 +3,he has been offered all the 3 categories of third language choices as well as HMTL. His friends who scored below 250 have been offered categories 1 and 2 third language choices.

Parents can see whether my reasonings are fundamentally sound or not. If unwise, they can chose to ignore. No need for me to debate further with your childish statement.

I don't he/she was targetting you. Your advice has been useful to many people. I think he/she was continuing your warning to inexperienced parents. :celebrate:

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.

Hi,

Just my opinion. RI is a great school with a great alumni, history, principal, strong sense of identity among students and great students. However, it took me so long to confirrm that these great/very bright students are receiving a lot of outside help in their academics by tuition centres, top of the range private tutors or very learned parents. Good for the teachers....majority of the students came equiped with knowledge, learnt ahead from out of school.
