PSLE 2012 - Results Discussion

[findingnemo]

Hello, my friend’s bro took PSLE this year, he didn’t do very well, got 260. (okay I must admit its not very bad, but then it is a rather awkward score, as he was expecting at least 270++ because he is really really good, probably a lot of careless mistakes etc). So his goal is to go RI, but the cut off point is 261 or so based on previous years. Thus, he is crossing his fingers and hoping to appeal if he doesn’t get posted. So I would like to ask, what sort of things do they emphasize on during appeal? (he has very good school results) I think its never too early to do some homework…


As he is Indian he doesn’t have much choices, all the other IP schools are SAP or what not, so choices are only RI or ACS, which seems very wasted luh.

Also this year is the dragon baby year, so how many more students took the PSLE? I presume that the schools still have the same quota as previous years, so does it mean (do you think) that cut off points will be higher comparatively?

Thanks!

Yah lah, with so many top scorers, that’s why MOE does not want to publish anymore. Next year PSLE will be more tough, to identify the elite among the elites of the elites.

Cedar cut-off for IP is 258. Do you think there is a chance for my daughter to get in.

u r quite a few points below the cutoff, so might be very slim chance, to be honest.

Are you sure Cedar cut off is 258?

There are quite a few new IP / IB girls' sch this year, so the COP for IB / IP schs might be lower. You may want to consider and try St Nicks, MGS, SCGS. Cedar is high last year as there are not that many choices then. Alternatively, you can also opt for RVHS / DHS if you do not mind mixed sch. I do not know where you are staying, so distance may be something you want to consider when choosing the sch.

Hope this helps.
