Hi happy boy, how high do you think dhs cop was last year?

My dd scored 252. I live in marine parade. Here are my choices keeping, IP, distance, language availability, affiliated to top J JC in mind.


1. Cedar IP
2. TJC IP
3. SCGS IP
4. Cedar O'level
5. SCGS O'level
6. Crescent girls O'level

1. Can you pls recommend any more options? My dd's MT is Tamil.

2. Which school will she most likely end up with?

3. Her dream school is cedar. Is it necessary for me to put her dream school as her first choice for appealing just in case she doesn't get in?

4. Is my order of choice schools correct?

I think she might end up in Cedar O level. But if Cedar is her dream school, and she ends up in the O level section there, she can always work hard and try to switch over to IP in Sec 3.

jtoh,

Cedar has ceased all sec 3 Switching to IP as of next year onwards.

Thanks for updating me, isetan.

@sujatha, I agree with jtoh that your DD may end up cedar ‘o’ level given the t score, but no harm trying IP as an option.

Dear Parents and Students,


Based on 2012 intake historical data;

There are in total 8 educational institutions which cater for students with a T-Score of minimum 250.

Of which,
3 institutions for Girls,
2 institutions for Boys
3 institutions for co-ed

approximately an annual intake of about 350 students per institution.

In 2013, 3 more institutions (IP) are added to the current above co-hort, primarily to ease-off the load (my personal purview in this subject matter)

Hope this would enlighten you guys n gals in your S1 selection for FY2013 new semester.

My peers used to say "if your T-Score is good, you’ll get to choose the seat, else the seats chooses you"

Your learning journey had just begun, do not fret if the start is not to your ideal, just persevere and put in your best works.

All The Best @Poet2010

Hi,


My girl’s score is 236, is she eligible for St Nic?

The school has 2 codes stating "O" level and IP.

Does it mean that she can apply for "O" level?

Please help.
Thanks.

Please help.
Thanks.

Last year's COP for St Nick's was 249. It is highly unlikely that your dd will be able to get into St Nick's.

Hi, as there is not much time left, you should quickly flip through the grey book distributed to students earlier - all the aggregate ranges of schools are stated

Or even faster to go to the MOE website and make use of the school info service to filter out the schools suitable for you

Hi jtoh and zeedoo,


Thanks for your help!

We are overseas now and has misplaced the booklet. Just saw from moe website that st nic has 2 codes but no cop info.

Okay no choice st nick is out for her.

Yes, She can just apply for St Nick O level track. However, the COP is 249 & her chance of getting in is very low. You can put CHIJ Sec Toa Payoh as 1st choice instead of St Nick. It's COP is lower, 241. Also can choose CHIJ St Theresa Convent, COP 224. Make sure that you last 2 choices is lower than 236.
