2010 PSLE: EESIS (top 3%) and 3rd Lang (top 10%) COP

WeiHan:

Is it that only the top 10% students will be allowed to take HCL in secondary schools?

I think there will be some that have A* and within the top 30% that might be offered. Not sure the exact criteria. But definitely those within top 10% would be offered HCL even if they only had A in CL.

People already say \"the bulk\" loh..... so 255 − 259 is the minority la :roll: :roll:

But I really find that the long analysis is redundant because it arrived at a conclusion that is trivial

\"So the bulk of the students in the 3% to 10% will be at the 254~249 bracket.\"

According to a normal distribution, the number of sample is always the highest at the median, above that median the sample size drops off and below that the sample size also drops off. Therefore, without any analysis, I can already conclude that from the median t-score which could be 22+ to 282, the sample size just gets smaller and smaller at higher and higher t-score. So it easy to deduce that 249-254 will have a larger sample size than 255-259. Similarly, 244-249 will have a larger sample size than 249-254. It is just the characteristic of a normal distribution curve not anything particular to this batch of psle students.

[quote=\"Goodivine\"]If the COP for the top 10% is 249, it means the student are pack closer between 3% to 10% range.:

Yeah, it looks like top 10% starts from 249 then. If that's the case, there won't really be much of a drop in COP for top schools, since top 10% for last year was 248(even lower than this year's). There may not be any drop in COP scores for Top schools as such. At most, only 1 or 2 point drop, or none at all.

Taking into account the top 3% COP drops 1 point to 260. Plus a slight decrease in PLSE student, 3492. This works out to less 100 student from top 3% students. This means more vacancies for those from 259 onwards in the top schools.

Since the papers are easier this year, we should expect as the T-score gets lower, the no. of students gets bigger. So the bulk of the students in the 3% to 10% will be at the 254~249 bracket.

My guess is those schools whose last year COP T-score is 254 and below will see an increase of 1 to 3 points. While those tops schools whose T-score is above 254 last year will see a drop in of 1 to 3 points.

My 2 cents again. :D[/quote]please clarify what is the 3492

thanks

My son got 236 but was not offered French/ German but Malay, bahasa indonesia and Arabic. I wonder he is top ? %.


Have we concluded that the mid range school will have higher cut off point this year?

My son score 230 only and he also eligible for the 3rd languange for Malay, bahasa and Arabic.

I also wonder why? :? :? :?

thanks[/quote]3492, hmm tomorrow's 4D winning no.?

lol sorry joking.

Last year cohort size 48,541
This year cohort size 45,049
Drop of 3492 students.
Thus top 3% also drop correspondingly by about 100.

has anyone posted PSLE 2010 TOP SCORES for individual schools. I remembered some kind soul did that for 2009.

Thank you

Does the forecasted drop in cop for top schools and the smaller population of students having 255-259 mean that my son who has 255 + 2 has a high chance to get into HCI or NJC? I am thinking of putting HCI first choice and NJC second choice but NJC’s COP is higher last year without considering the bonus point.


btw, comparing HCI and NJC, which is stronger in terms of maths and science?

also, i would like my son to do Higher Chinese but NJ does not have that and the students must travel to somewhere else. may i know where?

It's compulsory for all NJC Year One students to do HCL.

I think he stands a good chance. According to the Junior High Dean, HCL is compulsory at Year 1!

sorry, what i meant was, NJC does not conduct the HCL lessons in the campus (according to the school booklet) and students have to attend hcl lessons elsewhere. qtn is , where?
