Is 220 hard to achieve by the way ?

If u r referring to SCGS, my take is that 'If MGS can do, so can SCGS!'

BTW, 30k is an unverified NUMBER. But I know for sure at least 5 yrs ago, the amt was already 5-fig!!


Any idea what's the rates now??

I know it's just a hypothetical number for sake of discussion. It's a gray area that I don't want to get into. Honestly, I am just as curious but don't really want to know. :siam:

My daughters are in MGS so just wondering if 220 was like a pretty high score to get in PSLE ... there was talk abt raising this further in the future.

The average is 200. 220 is not that far off. It really depends on the kid's ability and sometimes luck plays a part. :celebrate:

Really can't tell. Say, if 220 will result in 90% from MGPS for a few years, I'm sure MOE will arm-twist them to tweak the COP. But in general, I'm sure they wanna maintain a min % of students from MGPS.

BTW, I saw that ACS(BR) does not have any COP. Does it mean they only accept ACSP & ACSJ?

csc, I wasn’t referring to the median T score of each PSLE cohort which differs each year. I meant a T score of 200 can be considered as the average as a point of reference.

Yes - they only take in from ACPS/JS - but parents would try to get their kids into ACS (Indep) as it is the \"better\" school - but its nice to have a fall-back school to rely on!

Ok - average in whole cohort nationwide - hopefully its not the average in the school alone - btw, the standards in MGS are quite quite high (which I am surprised) - not the difficulty of the exam papers but how well the kids score - the top 25% tier is extremely competitive..judging from the P1 exam stats !
