Oh Dear:

Can anyone advise? My son scored 218. Should I pick as first choice East Spring Sec Sch or Coral Sec Sch? Which one is better? :idea:

I think east spring is a better choice.
East Spring -Band4 (L1B5=13)
. AA - ☆☆

Coral - Not banded
● AA (Academic Value-added) (Special/Express) - Bronze

and :thankyou: mathsparks - for taking the trouble to find me these info.

My guess for the COP of this year’s posting is that most of the COP will go up (especially the top schools).



I will probably place my choices as follows :

If my preferred school that is "realistically attainable" has a COP that is less than my child’s aggregate by more than 3 points, I will try my luck for a better school by putting the better school as my 1st choice. (Though I think the chance is not high) The "realistic" school shall be my 2nd choice.

If my "realistic" school’s COP is 1 to 3 points below my child’s aggregate, I will not take a chance and will put it as my 1st choice definitely.

You have 'Hit nail on the top' . I have been asking question in this post about this. Now it is settled ... I will put first choice which is lower than score of mu DD

Anyone knows where we can get the COP for the past 3 years ?


Perhaps comparing the statistics for the past 3 years is a better & reliable guide

Thanks

I guess , lots of parents of 'Mid-Rangers' are looking for answer to a very important question above.


Do you place a school within reach as 'First' choice in order to secure place so that last place available is allocated to you over the many other student who placed that school as seocnd choice but score is same as your child

If yes... There are chances that other students whose score is lower than your childs score , but are 'Bold' in placing bet on other school ( which is bit further in terms of cut-off) would get a placement & your child will be wondering how come she lost out simply because she placed school within reach as 'First Choice'

there are many knowledgeable 'Moderators' in this site ... Can Please ... please invite experts to give opinion on this.

3 Days left to put up choices

still no one knows whether, all being equal, putting a choice as 2nd or 5th choice, will it affect the chances of getting in ?

thanks

Hi its me again…

My son got just 178 pls advise if I shud still opt for St Pat as first choice as it is affliated to St Stephens. What is the school like? Can anyone pls help with info on Monfort which is in hougang and I live there. I was recommeded Compassvale. I will make that one of my choices too. With Xinmin COP at 188, will my son have a chance, what are the odds.?I am also looking at Anderson but their COP is 189! Pls advise if Im just wasting my time with Xinmin and Anderson…

Thanks a ton for the good advise given to me. I will make St Pat as my first choice due to the affliation.

Thx and have a great evening

hashroop, i think you are wasting time on anderson and xinmin. And if st pats is your first choice, your child shld be able to get in.
