Wonder anyone know why the COP of RI/HCL is lower than the COP of RGS/NYGH?

This is a really helpful website.


My son’s score is 259, I put 7001(ACSI) in the option list, then it shows ACS -O Level program, but what is the code for their IP program. Any comments?

My understanding is that, for primary school students, languages are very important. Girls have an advantage over boys on languages. So girls have higher scores.

This year, top 20 scorers, only 3 of them are boys. (I counted based on their names) :rahrah:

Majority of girls usually do better than boys

Heard from DS that his GE friends with WL from RI and HCI which didn't materialise and do not make the COP all plan to appeal.

Guess it will be the same for most GE students in the same boat.
So looks like there will be an appeal frenzy..........

Most of my friends with RI/HCI WL got into their respective schools. So far, I only know one who did not get into his first choice: RI. Maybe it differs for different students?

Just take standard level CL in Year 5/6. Very simple. Most of the kids score 7 for it. (7 being the equivalent of A)

Which means cannot take O level HCL at year 4, or else will not quality fo take standard CL at year 6 cos overqualified already.

If you want to boost your IB Diploma, taking standard level CL in Year 5/6 and IB CL at Year 4 is an easy option. Why not right? Easy and pretty.
