Hi 25hourmaid,


Thanks for all your hard work. Need you to update RGS COP. Know of someone who entered at 259 !!! Not sure if there is any lower entry T-score.

Cheers! :celebrate:

Mathematician:

Is the COP of ACS(I) 255 or is it the marks needed to get into IB?

Sorry, no idea. I merely updated the info from the person who posted that COP. Any ACS (I) parents here who is able to help?

Yes, 255 is COP for IB program. My son got 254 and offered express instead.

[quote]Hi Guys,


Can help me. My son got posted to Temasek and appealed successfully at Maris Stella. NOw, I 'm confuse which school to choose. Is Marris Stella better than Temasek. Anyone have opinion on these 2 school ?

Thank You

Temasek Sec is co-ed (or mixed boys/girls) but Maris Stella is boys only school. Secondly, distance from your home is paramount. Thirdly, MS has a affiliation to Catholic High being a Catholic school. So can minus 2 points when applying for CJC after 'O' Level.

My advise is to go for MS owing to affiliation advantage. Final decision is yours.

Just kpo a bit. Anyone in the situation of T-scores much higher than COP and choose the school because of whatever reasons (love at first sight, the uniform, the culture, environment ...) ?


Eg. T-score 250, choose and get in a school of COP 240.

I don't think its via Central Posting. Probably via DSA.

Hi just mama, why don't you look at the NJC and DHS thread in another topic to find out more before you decide - > http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewforum.php?f=39&sid=45e25622b4ccef979e62106fd1d3c65b

NJC only has one year track record but DH has many years of track records. Both offer IPs (直通车) programs. Secondly, DH is SAP school so HMT learning is traditionally stronger. Thirdly, distance from your home is also important. Fourthly, competition is tougher among the cohort in DH (more intake). So for me really both are equal except for second, third and fourth points. Of course on a minor note, someone mentioned in this thread somewhere that NJC staff is not courteous.

I only visited DH Open House so cannot say much about NJC. For DH I am impressed with the courteous staff.

25hourmaid:

Way2Go, yes, please verify, but someone could be right to say was wait-listed for DSA. Meanwhile, I am sticking to 257 till someone can confirm someone with 256 got into HCI.

Cfm today with HCI staff that official COA this year is 257.

pssst. Case of 256, not DSA entry. I didn't pursue and let's leave it at that.
