COP 2012 - For Secondary Schools in 2013

[anxious.01501dad]

Yes anxious.dad, it will be appropriate to include the HMT bonus points for the cut-off of SAP schools. Any idea if MOE has historically been posting COPs of SAP schools that include or exclude these HMT bonus points?


Base on my understanding, the COP released by MOE is inclusive of HMT bonus points for SAP schools.

Ranking list is not desirable.

IP should have a separate list comparing and listing all IP intake COP.
'O' level track COP should be in a separate list.
School with dual track, the IP and 'O' should be separated as shown on MOE table..

Just an opinion, can't agree with the ranking list.

Some people find the List useful and rely on it to make plans/decisions..
Some people merely use the List as a guide..
If you don't find the list useful or reliable, then don't use it..

It is useful if looking at the school as a whole. If one likes to compare a list of IP schools, a IP list would be better. Likewise for ‘O’ track comparison…

Understand that takes efforts to create…
As I said, just an opinion and suggesstion…
Thank you Firefly38!

Hey all, MOE has just released the cut-off points of secondary schools and JCs in the latest posting exercise. I have arranged the schools by order of their COPs for easy reference. Hope this helps in your secondary school selection and planning.


Some interesting facts pointed out -- A distinction in Higher Mother Tongue (HMT) will grant 3 bonus points for entry into Special Assistance Plan (SAP) schools; Merit = 2 points and Pass = 1 point. SAP schools tend to put more emphasis on the Chinese language and Chinese cultural education. There are 11 SAP schools as follows:
Nanyang Girls' High
Hwa Chong Institution
Dunman High
River Valley High
St Nicholas Girls'
Catholic High
Nan Hua High
Anglican High
Nan Chiau High
Chung Cheng High
Maris Stella High
(MOE has not stated if the cut-off points of these SAP schools are inclusive of HMT bonus points. Could somebody help to clarify?)

Do let me know if there are any errors in the compilation so that I can amend them. Thanks!

FYI, St. Joseph Institution cut-off lowest at 241, not 242 as my friend's son got in at that score.

Hi CocoaDoggy, thanks for the info. However, the cop for SJI 2012 S1 posting is stated as 242 on MOE website. Perhaps your friend's son got into SJI via appeal or DSA.

Yep these scores are taken straight from the MOE website. Your friend's case will likely be a special one

[CocoaDoggy]

Yes, his son got in via Appeal. So the cut-off point does not include those who appealed. Another friend got 242 unable to get in yet 241 can get in via appeal.


Thanks for the info anyway.
