PSLE 2009 RESULTS!!
-
Full.Cream:
So, your girl going to MGS or SCGS ?
Hmmm...I really wasn't thinking of MGS although I must admit I have a soft spot for it!!VitoRelax:
You mentioned 220, I assumed you are referring to MGS (Sec) at Blackmore Drive (or was it road ?)
...
Just out of curiosity I went to check SCGS (another soft spot!) and found it has a significantly lower entry for affiliate...200 (vs 254 for non-aff)!! -
DadOfGirl:
That's a big difference from non-affliated .. why is it so? . there is no such thing for JC i hope ( though therr are addtional points)
Because the 200 for affiliated is pre-set by the school & the balance places of non-affiliated students are based on merit. -
mommyNg:
Out of curiosity, how many of the 2009 PSLE students in SCGS Primary get lower than 200 ?
I heard that SCGS is beginning to raise their COP for affiliate students, starting from next year. I think they will first raise to 210 next year, and then 220 subsequent year, and then they said they will review thereafter (about whether they will continue to raise the COP or not). You can refer to this discussion here too:

Thank Goodness my son had affiliation, if not he will barely be able to enter Fairfield Secondary.

Looks like this thread has slowed down a lot after the deadline of 2nd Dec 09, 3pm !! :lol:

VitoRelax has a good point - why does MOE need 20 days to do posting? It should be done within couple of days. Hope someone from MOE is reading this...
VitoRelax:
All students are required to submit application by 2nd Dec.
Results of posting only out on 22 Dec.
Anyone knows why MOE needs 20 days ? Their software should be able to chune out the results based on the algorithm at the touch of a button !! -

Time is needed for human intervention in ties, review cases - a computer can't do that. Plausible? -
[quote]I heard that schools like raffles offer \"Donation Seats\" which is basically bribery......so unfair!!!![/quote]
Don't be surprised. You can get into Harvard if your parents donate US$5 million (in cash upfront) with promises of more to come. -

Me think the COA for affilated schools are not preset. Me think a certain percentage is reserved for affliated schools. The last person who gets admitted through affilation then determines the COA for that year for that school.DadOfGirl:

I can confirm it is preset. It is the same for MGS & SCGS for the past 2 years. If it is based on percentage, the COA cannot be same with a nice integer like 200 & 220 for every year !!
I have called up both SCGS & MGS and they both confirmed it is preset !!
This should clear your doubt !!
