Choose Secondary school for 2010

ycpang:

My estimation and forecast as below:


Top 3 % - above 261 since this is the EESIS COP this year. If you calculate the total number of IP school, estimate their intakes, take 30% of them (according to MOE), divided by the cohort this year, you will find out that it is about top 3%.

We also know that 248 is the top 10% as this is the COP for 3rd Lang. (French, Japanese, German) this year.

So we can estimate the rests as below:

Top 3%: 261 and above
259 - 260: Top 4%
257 - 258: Top 5%
255 - 256: Top 6%
253 - 254: Top 7%
251 - 252: Top 8%
249 - 250: Top 9%
248: Top 10%

The total intake of all the IP schools is estimated to be around 5% ~ 6% of the cohort (take 400 x No. of IP school, divided by total no. of PSLE cohort).

I think this year the cohort in overall didn't do well. You can see from the drop of EESIS COP and the top 10% is now at COP 248!!

Also, you will notice that RI COP over the past few years was about 1 point below the EESIS while RGS and NYGH COPs were 1 ~ 2 points above RI or on the EESIS COP.

Therefore, we can estimate the RI COP this year is about 260, while RGS and NYGH will be around 261.

I also estimated that the COP for RVH will be either maintain or up due to their new campus and they are now \"truely\" at the west to attrach those live in the west.

HCI, DHS, ACSI COPs should go down as well. Boys' schools school such as HCI and ACSI may be affected most as their \"customers base\" is very limited and boys generally do not do as well as girls.

Anyway, we will find out on 22nd Dec. Good luck to all !! Cheers

I have this feeling that this year's COP for RI/RGS will drop whereas those for HCI/NYGH will be higher.

Already aware that some boys & girls with T-score above 280 are opting for HCI & NYGH instead of RI/RGS.

Next year is a much easier year to get into good school. Because next year is the year of tiger and birth rate drop drastically. Last round of tiger year, there was a drop of 8% in the number of students taking PSLE. So for next year, there is an estimation of 4K student less to compete for the good school. :!:

This is the new trend that student prefer HCI/NYGH over the Rs?

Don't think so lah.

Every year there will be students prefer HCI/NYGH over Rs & vice-versa.

I don't think so. How many of them scored 280 and above? The total intake for both HCI and NYGH should be around 700 ~ 800.

VitoRelax:

Just wondering, how come you think the number of people in the range of 260-270 has dropped ? Could it be because the number of people in the range 271 to 290 has increased ?


Your estimate of 257 is for which IP school ?

When you said there is no more Sec 3 DSA, which school u referring to ?

Thanks

They are all referring to NJC.

Yeah, I think very few scored above 280 to have any effect on it
