KSP:
the best way to confirm this is to check the annual birth rate.... i think i read something 2004 or 05 has the lowest birth rate....
If I remember correctly, 2002 boys will have higher chance of gg to U after 2yrs ,NS as they will be competing with 2004 girls. But having said that, this is based on my assumption without consideration that our population may or will or definitely be 6m +/- -
every year the bell curve doesn’t change, the top 3% will still go to top schs…

yes, it's hard to tell now coz who knows along the way gov may take in more young PR or new citizens around our children age.... -

hehe... that is based on percentage... but every top schools has an absolute number for entry. so... as it moves down, the t-score would move down too???

Agree. Whether 'smarter' or not, it is all relative within the same cohort and determine by where u r on the bell curve.
As for COP, if you will observe that it usually doesn't change much over a period of 3~4 yrs unless the school have a new program.
As for admission to Uni, donch they all apply together even though the boy will enrol 2 yrs later? In fact, the boys can apply another 1 (or 2) times so he can pit his result against 2~3 diferent cohort
Or maybe I'm wrong here.
