PSLE 2012 - Results Discussion

[nani]

Need clarification please.


1) can we base on the grey book cop to place our choice? Eg. If last year cop is 235, and your child results is 235, confirm get in or still risky?

2) Prior to going overseas, one have to appoint a proxy for both 19 & 20 Dec, to check posting and registering at school?

3) Proxy assigned but we are only back on 31st Dec, can we buy books and uniforms on the first day of school?

Thanks

1) Last year's COP is just a guide to what it might be this year. Each year's COP varies with demand and supply. No guarantee that the COP will remain, so choose your options carefully.

2) You'll be notified of the school you've been successfully sent to via SMS. So no need to have proxy to check posting.

3) Not a good idea to buy uniforms on first day of school bec what will your son wear to school that day? Check with the school where you can purchase the uniform bec first day of school.

Supposing last year’s COP is 235 for eg, what is a ‘safe’ COP that my child can get into the school? All kids are using last year COP as reference. So how would parents know whether their kids stand a chance?


I’m glad nani asked this, bcos this question is also weighing heavily in my mind.

Why is it that so many schools are introducing IP? Does it affect intake for our kids?

T score depends on several factors…from the looks of it, these factors are not known to us right?

although the number of IP Sec schools are growing, but some are more established or deem more prestigious than others. (in terms of the no. of years )

Choose carefully, meaning? If one meets exactly the cop, should one even try placing as a choice?

Thanks, ideally of cos one should not get uniforms and books on the first day but 1st of Jan will be a holiday then next day school reopen, we do not have a chance to get things done.
