the score is it confirmed confirmed to be 200??.. :roll:

Yes, I confirmed it is 200. But my boy can be unpredictable.

Not all schools is 200. Dunman and Hwa Chong is 240, unless ur DS applied for another school.

Maybe 2 days to mark and 2 days to double check hor.. Just wonder they need how many teachers to mark one subject paper :roll:


Assuming around 44000 students who took PSLE.
If one teacher marks 100 papers per day also need around 500 teachers per subject.

If the same set of teacher mark for all the 4 days, then 100+ teachers should be enough per subject, ie if one teacher marks 100 papers per day as per ur assumption.

Wanted to post a reply earlier, but was shopping, then conveniently forgot.
Each teacher does not mark an entire script by himself/herself, except composition. There is specialization involved so each teacher usually marks a few questions. Experienced upper primary teachers are usually paired up to mark questions with higher level of difficulty, n vice versa. That means in one day, a teacher may mark 250-300 scripts. Mentally and physically very draining.

CO for RI n RGS means only need to pass n go express stream, which is 200. I recall coming across one child who got WL from HCI, n requirement was need to score 250.

Doubt they will do that.
Now they are like practically begging people to accept the CO, or those with HCI waitlist to put them as first choice.
Even making phone calls to the top 50 on the WL telling them it's as good as CO.

That was two years ago, maybe things are different this year, with so many boys choosing RI over HCI, from what I have read in the posts here.

I don't think so. If you have a CO, you just need to score enough to get into Express to get into HCI. I don't think they would have a separate set of rules for COs vs WLs.

My relative had a WL from HCI a few years ago and there was no indication of minimum T-score stated.

That was the info given by the boy's mother. She was jumping for joy as her DS scored >250. Could there b a different set of rules for those in top 50 WL as compared to the bottom 50 maybe? :?

Could it be a case of WL not materialise into CO but can get in with 250 t score, way below COP just becos of the WL ?
