While I see several of the members quoting ard 260 as the COP for RGS, any idea why is edupoll suggesting a COP of 265 for RGS? Pl adv. Thanks

Because the data used by Edupoll are 2008 PSLE COPs 😆 😆

may be because they are less accurate and has not followed the trend as diligently as ksp parents who have direct stake in the school - more accurate

Agreed with Snow Crystal. This year, NYPS announced that 46% of its cohort scored 250 and above - higher than last year. This will definitely impact the available vacancies after the affiliation has taken up. My own personal opinion (please do not :spank: me) is that the COP for NYGH may remain at 262 or may even increase by 1-2 points due to this influx of NYPS affiliation.


As for VS impacting DHS's COP, VS intake is small at 90 and already half taken up by DSA. Moreover, DHS is a mixed sec school, and with the girls scoring better than boys for PSLE, and most of the girls who can't make it to RGS / NYGH will also choose NJC / DHS, the possibility of DHS COP lowering is also very minimal. This is only a personal opinion, so please do not hold me accountable for any discrepancies.

Parents, your kid and you have all put in your sec school choices. We hope they get in their 1st / 2nd choice. In the case whereby they do not, it is not the end of the world. We have to teach them to accept reality (which we have to face it ourselves) and move on with life. Just like the day when the PSLE results are released, there will be happy and disappointing moments when the posting results are released. The kids have their expectations, and we parents have to teach them (and ourselves) how to manage it and move on even when they do not get what they want.

Life is not about getting into RI / RGS / HCI / NYGH. Those who do not make it to these schools can also excel and meet the frens from these schools in JCs or Uni. What is most important is not to lose the motivation and the initiative to learn, just because of a little disappointment.

Well said! :udaman: parents need to manage & inculcate to kids that life is not about top schs and unrealistic expectations. Parents must lead by example to encourage kids to move on and be resilient, 5 points off the COP is already too distinct to even appeal not to say it is >10points! the T-score has many decimal places behind. In actual fact, it is a national ranking of the entire cohort of 40000+ babies from 1st to last of 40000+. The Rafflesian have been briefed that PSLE is a filter of that entire year cohort…. the kids from St.Nic, Cedar & Cresent or Victoria etc..has done well too in last year's O level. Hence, those that in other schs certainly can be motivated to excel :goodpost:

Hi


Is there any thread speculating on the COP for NYGS?
My dd scored 259+3. All of us are so worried that she may not be able to make it as it is a borderline case. We are hoping that it will drop by one point.
I also understand that it is tough to get a place via appeals unless dd or ds is actively involved in CCAs.
Anybody has any ideas? Care to share?
Half of the places have been taken via DSA. Besides the 'RGS vs NYGH which is better' factor, another factor affecting S1 COP for NYGH is its affiliated girls. If I am not wrong, NYPS quality passes this year ie PSLE score 250 n above remains ultra high - usually more than 40%+++ to nearly half of cohort. So depends on how many NYPS girls score between 250 (including 247+3/248+2/249+1) to 259 (including 256+3/257+2/258+1). These girls naturally will likely choose their affiliated NYGH. If number of NYPS girls scoring this range and opting for NYGH increases, of course the seats for S1 posting for rest of public decreases. So NYGH COP depends on more factors, not so straightforward like RGS which has no affiliated primary school. But 259+3 is a really good score! If can't get in via S1, try appeal and pray 🙏 that some seats will be given up after S1 posting results. All the best! :rahrah:

Hi all - What is the lowest successful COP that has been admitted to RGS and on what basis? My DD has 245+2 and I am thinking of appealing.... Can I ? Waste of time?

Does your dd have an exceptional talent in terms of CCA or academics? Like a gold medallist at national sports meets? If so, you can give it a try. If not, based purely on PSLE t-score of 245, your chances would be very very low. Your +2 bonus points don't apply in RGS.

Same theory as jtoh - No change to EESIS COP. Interesting point by ycpang iro inference from top 10%.


VCA-VJC IP intakes are so small - ard 90 each? Probably have some minimal impact to DHS - closest IP to be impacted. IMHO, the Raffles and HC IPs not much impact even when IPs open up to top 30%, cos ultimate JC remains the premium RI (JC) and HCI (JC). Plus parents are usually skeptical to put kids as guinea pigs esp those IPs with new JC sections.

Good luck but please manage her expectation! :xedfingers:

[quote=\"jtoh\"]I don't think it'll impact IP schools as much as the top O level schools such as SCGS, MGS, SNGS, CHS etc.


I think with VS offering IP, COP for DHS could be slightly lowered.

Are both VS and DHS in the East? Then possibly.[/quote]Yes. That's why I guessed so.

Thanks. 🙂 So for 2009 the range of scores from top 10% to 4% was wider than that for 2010. A function of the overall tougher papers.

Interesting analysis. 🙂


btw, where can we find out the top 10% of years 2009 & 2010? I think they're hidden somewhere on this forum?
I can confirm top 10% were 248 and 249 respectively in year 2009 and 2010. because my DS took the PSLE in 2009 and I continue to monitor the EESIS and top 10% bcoz my DD was one of them taking the PSLE this year.

Top 10% has 1 to 0.5 impact on COPs. So when EESIS drops by one point and top 10% up by one point, the final impact is -0.5 point.


This year EESIS maintains the same and top 10% up by one point so the total impact is +0.5

Anyway, this is only my own opinion.

I had the impression it was 250 for both. I could be mistaken of course.


I think a more accurate measure of COP for schools like RGS/NYGH is the EESIS COP because these schools take in the top 3% of the students. EESIS was 261 in 2009 and 260 in 2010 so I expect COP to be around the same this year. What might drive the COP for RGS up is if more students select RGS over NYGH. We shall see in a few weeks time. 🙂

Last year when the top 10% was up from 248 in year 2009 to 249 in year 2010, i observed that it had pushed up the RGS COP by 0.5 point, meaning although the COP was 260, not all with 260 got in.

So this year the top 10% is upped again by another point from 249 to 250, my guess is it will push the COP by another 0.5 PT and becomes 261.
