      Hmm, the course running out of places sounds possible. How do they decide who gets to take the third language?

      Top 10% - Japanese, German, French

      (Jap need higher chinese pass, i think)

      Top 30% - Regional Languages

            Not sure what the deciding factor is for allocating 3rd lang in high demand. Just know that some students who opted for popular 3rd lang didn’t get their choice. Maybe language abilities play a bigger deciding factor than overall T-score.

              I think the Regional Languages (Malay (Special Programme), Chinese (Special Programme), Bahasa Indonesia and Arabic) are offered to all S1 students in the Express and NA stream.

                From MOE website :

                Eligible top 10% pupils can apply for French/ German/ Japanese online upon the release of their PSLE results. Pupils opting for Japanese Language are required to have passed Higher Chinese/ Chinese at the PSLE as the standard written form of Japanese uses Kanji (Chinese characters). In the event that the number of applicants exceeds that of vacancies, selection will be based on their PSLE results. To be eligible for the Foreign Language Programme, the applicant OR his father OR his mother must be a Singapore Citizen or Singapore Permanent Resident.

                      With 2002/3 being the SARS hot period, cohorts taking PSLE in 2014/5 respectively will have the tendency of having higher T-score?


                      For all to comment and your views please.

                      Will schools on top have a tendency to fill up their classes thus having high t-score? :scratchhead:

                        T-score follows bell curve. So, I think smaller cohorts does not necessarily means higher t-score.


                        If you are talking about secondary school, last year's dragon cohorts have higher cut-off t-score because the cohort is larger so it is more competitive.

                        If 2014/5 has smaller cohorts, I think the cut-off point to top secondary school could be lower. So, it is easier to get in :evil:

                        Anyway, I am not a statistician. Just my 2-cents.
