PSLE 2012 - Results Discussion

anxious father:

Will COPs of HCI, NJC, RVHS, RI and DHS go up or down?


Here are the background information of their PLSE COP (Lower), Upper and Median. I use EESIS (COP of top 3%) as the reference.

Note: I got the pupil numers, Lower, Upper and Median of each school from MOE and EESIS from this forum.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Opinion 1: The COPs to these top IP schools will go up as
1) There are more pupils than last year (but it is comparable to 2009/2010).
2) There is higher EESIS this year

Opinion 2: The COPs to some of these top IP schools maight go down as there are most IP schools and they may more or less attract some of the top scorers (T-score>260)

What is your opinion?

Follow EESIS for the HCI, RI, ie keep the same difference as predictor.

Hi all


I am new to this forum. My DD has scored 235 in her PSLE this year. I am staying in West and was in confused state to list the schools.
Could you please help if this list will work out?

1. Crescent (COP - 243) - as my DD is longing for this school, I want to give a try for it..
2. Swiss cottage (COP - 235)
3. Common wealth (COP - 236)
4. Clementi Town (229)

Although I am new and have not sat for psle, I feel that crescent should not be the 1 choice as the cop is so much higher - low chance of getting in.
I would advice you to put it as 4 choice and move up the other 3 choices.

It is OK. Will not get into choice 5 or 6. If you want, put Anderson as choice 5. It is a band 1 school with good science programme. Better than Zhonghua & Chung Cheng.

Your choices are OK. You will not end up choice 5 or 6. Chance of getting into St Nick O level is very high. Can't use +2 for IP.

What about DHS?[/quote]Personally, I feel that dhs cop too high and popular - little chance to get in.

[sujatha]

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?

My selected sch

3 catholice high o
4 bukit panjang govt high
5 maris stella
6 chung cheng high yishun
what is my chance of getting into catholice high ip ps share tks

Chances fairly good. U can also consider Victoria IP if distance is not a concern.

Also, you may want to consider HCI and DHS.[/quote]I think that you have a quite a high chance of getting into chs ip if they are not too many people applying for it. But, I still find your choices are good.
I do not think you should consider HCI and DHS unless your score is 255+3.

phtthp:

between Zhonghua Secondary School and Anglican High, which Sec school is better ?

I feel that Anglican High is better as it SAP, and have a high COP.

I think it is OK. Chance of getting into Cedar O level track is very high. Cedar IP track COP is most likely 255 & above.
