Please get your facts right before giving misleading information to other parents.

Quote from NYGH's website :

3. What are admission criteria for Secondary 1 pupils (via annual posting exercise)?

The cut-off for PSLE T-score, inclusive of bonus points for Higher Mother Tongue, ranged from
262 to 265, in the last 3 years. For AY2010, the cut-off is 263 inclusive of HMT.

so you are saying the actual cut off point for NYGH last year was 260 ?

so tell me, is it inclusive of 1 or 2 or 3 points ? The 263 is inclusive of 1 or 2 or 3 points ?

in the briefing for parents last Thursday, it is stated very clearing that if the cut off point is 263, what it means is that anyone without HCL needs 263 to enter, and anyone with 262 plus HCL pass can enter, or anyone with 261 plus HCL merit pass can enter, or 260 with HCL distinction can enter.

so, if you don't have HCL, you need 263 to enter. THAT IS the cut off point. I got my facts right. It is NOT misleading. You get a discount if you have HCL. Read my post carefully first

Hi vk2010,

Both you and 25hr maid are working on the same set of facts but the interpretation is different. Maybe a re-phrasing of the statement would make more sense. Let me explain.

The COP for NYGH is 263. Which means that if you do not have HMT, you would have had to score 263 to get into NYGH. If you did have HMT, your score would have been 262+1, 261+2 or 260+3. So the lowest score of someone entering NYGH last year during the S1 posting exercise was 260 (IF you do not take HMT into account.) I believe we agree on this.

So yes, the COP is 263 (including HMT). But actual scores of the students getting into NYGH could be 260 (minus HMT).

Perhaps it's how we phrase it. Official COP of NYGH = 263.
BUT actual score of last student entering NYGH at S1 posting could be 260.[/quote]I read the 2 sentences in RED v carefulley, word by word....
the 1 st sentence, i believe anyone who reads it will surely interprets as
\"does not include HCL bonus points\" meaning that the pupils cannot use the HCL bonus points (regardless of 1, 2 or 3 points)
to add to their T-score to meet the cut-off-point.
so the 1 st sentence is incorrect.
BUT the 2 nd sentence is correct, it is the lowest t-score for anyone without HCL to get into that SAP school.

Anyway, Jtoh has already explained it very distinctly

so in short for the sake of other P6 parents who are applying for SAP sec sch
ADD 1 , 2 or 3 points to the T-score if yr child has HCL
ADD 0 to the T-score if yr child has no HCL
i think Simple as that.............

All I can say is no harm trying, but no guarantee for anything. COPs fluctuates every year.

My son is very interested in RV. He got 252+2. Is it safe for him or not?

Don't worry that he will be a small fish in a big pond. I remember one parent wrote that her son has a lower t-score than most of his classmates but manage to do better than many of them after joining the school. T-score is not everything. 254 should safely get into RV.[/quote]Thank you!!!

We were quite worried as 95% of her new classmates has a higher T-score than her and we wonder if she can cope. However, this year's results shows that she is the top few in her class. She simply loves her school so much and we are seeing a happy and self-motivated child each day. To us, this is more important than anything else.
It is very true that T-score really doesn't determine everything, it is just an indication to show if the child can get into the desired school !

HI all


would like to clarify some of the doubts about CHS so hopefully can get some opinions in this forum…

is it true that CHS students are not very motivated to do well and most do not end up in good JCs? i hope this question does not offend anyone who is studying in CHS or have kids there but 2 people i know told me that. they also advised my ds not to choose CHS but to choose VS instead. problem is
VS is further away from my place in toa payoh.

btw, ds scored 255 +2.

r CHS and VS the same in terms of academic performance and character development? if yes, then i will forgo VS since travelling time is much longer.

thks

I would like to know: If my child gets 250, and wishes to put dunman high (cop last year 258) as 1st choice, would it be a waste or would she stand a chance?

[nymom]

want to guess what is RI cop this year?

[octopusmum]

Hi,


My neighbour’s dd got 226. Any suggestion which school she can try? We are in the west around Clementi. My neighbour doesn’t want Clementi Sec as it is next to the next shooping complex. Do you think she can try Commonwealth Sec?

Thanks Augmum. Yes, it is very simple.
