2010 COPs for 2011 Sec One Intake

[ycpang]

I heard it from my DS. He came home one day (can’t remember when) and said that his consortium director told them about this structured IP program during the assembly.

Thanks for responding. My DS is starting Sec 1 in HCI next year. I will ask the school.

Nanyang has a similar policy, in that they don't have an O level class. Weaker students are given small group consultations and remedial lessons to allow them to catch up. If necessary, they may be asked to drop a subject and take a lighter course load. That said, people have been retained/ asked to leave (I'm not very clear about the exact circumstances, could have been due to other issues like discipline problems).


Really though, as someone who has been through the IP system, I feel that it isn't difficult, as long as the student is willing to work hard. It is challenging, but managable. In fact, I think we need to tighten the promotion criteria - to get promoted from Sec 4 to J1 through IP is much easier than having to obtain 6 points at O levels![/quote]

I agree - this will ensure that the \"standard\" is maintained and the majority of the student population are putting their noses to the grind. :lol:

i just wonder if there is a need to have 2 COPs for ACSI. According to MOE, there is only 1 COP (max 2 if there are affiliated primary schools), but no COP for IP. Imagine the additional 8 schools that will be offering IP soon - all will have COP for IP and non-IP, it will be very confusing. :?

I am just concerned that if the school kept emphasizing so much about the IB programme COP as if it is the school COP and as if the other students from 245-252 do not exist, how will it affects the feeling of these students. Put yourselves in their shoes and how will you feel?

Well even if you get 253 you might not get into the programme. But still, I agree with you.

Actually i think that separating into 2 COPs gives the students an option.
Perhaps some people dont want to be under the IP programme.

The IP and Non-IP is for students to learn at different pace and though I agree T-Score from one PSLE Exam alone cannot determine the learning capability of students but I supposed it is probably the most quantitative way. It is also true that 253 might not be able to get you into ACSI IP program as they only accepted small number of students with 253. Many 253s were rejected. The mainstream COP shld be 254 for IP.


Also , ACSI is not a SAP school and will not count the mark for HCL. The COP for schools like RI , RV , DHS and NYGS includes the mark for HCL. So if we assume average HCL score to be +2 and we deduct 2 marks from HCI's COP of 257 , the true COP for HCI is really only 255. Agree ??

[quote=\"cheez06\"]my sister got rejected by njc with 257. :idea:

She probably missed by mere decimal points. Is she appealing?

Oh these decimals. :stupid: My collegue's daughter too seems to have missed her first choice by decimals. Her T-score was 260. First choice RGS(got rejected) got second choice NJC.[/quote]Strange things happened. A friend's son put NJC as first choice and HCI as second. His score is 257. Was rejected by NJC and accepted by HCI..:)

It is the same for COP of other schools, we have heard of 260 not getting into RGS, and 257 not getting into HCI. By the way, RI's COP does not include HMT bonus.

Is it bc his 257 includes HMT bonus points? But yes, there are some 257s that are not accepted by NJC.

Agree with you. HMT Bonus is only for HCI , RV , DHS and NYGS ?
So ACSI IB mainstream COP shld be 254 while HCI mainstream COP shld be 258 then. But HCI mainstream COP of 258 includes HMT marks of maximum to 3 points ? So actual T-Score COP excluding HMT is 255 ?
