Melodies, don't take this the wrong way but you have to careful how you phrase your posts in forums. There are many uninformed parents who take postings as gospel truth. And it will only serve to misinform the populace and lead to rumours. In your post highlighted above, you linked DSA to EESIS. There is no link between the two. Also, you raised the case of the student with 265 with no EESIS. Again, those of us who have experience with EESIS know that that would be impossible and hence advised garfield to check his documents carefully. You instead posted that there is a potential case of non-EESIS for someone with 265. Why would you highlight this when it's already been determined that the COP is 262? And parents have already posted here that T-scores of 263 and 264 have confirmed EESIS?

agree with Jtoh, doesn't matter if you had speculated but it will be better to state the fact rather then deduce the fact otherwise pple like me will think it is true and believe faithfully. cheers.

Well said! EESIS is given to cohort of top 3%..as long as the student meet the COP
Those that don't get EESIS may not meet the COP 262.[/quote]Jtoh,GLORYmum n VALyah
Yes, parents have posted but they did not clarify that their dc is not gepper n I wanted to make sure their dc is not gepper since gepper has a different criteria to meet for getting eesis n their t score does not determine whether or not they will get eesis. Hence, all the gepper's t score should be excluded.

I would also like to add a point. Anderson has normal stream, although the COP for express stream is high. On the other hand, CGS is a all express school.

Hi,


I suggest that you put Crescent as first choice. Should it happen that you don't get crescent, you still stand a chance to appeal if you have placed it as first choice. The COP of schools will definitely rise this year.

Hi WeiHan,
could you share with us why you think the COP of schools will definitely increase this year? is it becos there are more students who did well as compared to last year?

thanks.

The T-scores is definitely generally higher this year couple with the fact that there are 3000 more students. The COP of better schools will increase. I read that more than 40% of students have t-score more than 240. That mean the 24X schools are going to enjoy a boost also.

If you remember, 27X was so rare last year. This year, each schools count by dozens.

Consider a scenario : A scored 235 and choose ABC School as 3rd choice. Another child, B has a similar score as A but put ABC School as 1st choice. Assuming A failed to secure a place both in 1st and 2nd choice school and now left with 3rd choice. Which child would have priority to be placed first at ABC school or the chances will be the same based on merits of their scores ? Tks

[quote=\"Melodies\"]Parents,


Please continue to post until the cop for eesis offer for non gepper is conclusive.

Thanks!

Answer to your question to me: this post.

This is not speculation! Look at the eligibility. Gep has a different criteria. That is the fact!![/quote]What I highlighted is what I'm referring to.
Sorry, to me, we already know from page 1 of the thread that it's 262 for non-Geppers.

I'm not referring to Geppers.

Hence, why I refer to such remarks (the one i highlighted) as \"speculation\".

Anyways, it's just my opinion. No offence intended. I'm a first time PSLE parent.

Is base on perception. I do consider the fact that EESIS is one point higher than last year. If you mention 10% is at 249 which is same as last year, then the COP for 24X schools should be about same as last year. High 25X and 26X schools will have COP 1 point higher.

Base on merit. But putting first choice shows that you like the school alot and has an advantage for appeal case since appealing is left to the discretion of the school.
