[quote=\"Hi2mom\"]COP for Singapore Chinese Girls is 251, NJC is 257.

My dd is going to appeal.
Tomorrow you just need to bring writing materials, report book and your PSLE result slip.

My dd has 244, Cedar COP is 246, any chance to get in by appeal?

Almost every school COP gone down 2-4 points, except Cedar. Which went up by 2 points :stupid: [/quote]
Yes, you can try, up to 2points, i guess. Don't drag 'till next week,

We went to our second choice yesterday for registration. My dd like the new school, so we went ahead to buy the uniform and books. So we decided not to appeal anymore.

Thanks for everybody support through this very interesting time.
:thankyou:

Did they cut down on the intake and then leave more vacancies for the affiliated?

For IP school, so far the variation of COP has been limited to 1 point. So do not expect it to drop much. Probably another point for this year since the drop of the number of students is pretty significant.


Anyway, I am glad tha tyou have upgrade NJC to top tier again :rahrah:

My estimation and forecast as below:

Top 3 % - above 261 since this is the EESIS COP this year. If you calculate the total number of IP school, estimate their intakes, take 30% of them (according to MOE), divided by the cohort this year, you will find out that it is about top 3%.

We also know that 248 is the top 10% as this is the COP for 3rd Lang. (French, Japanese, German) this year.

So we can estimate the rests as below:

Top 3%: 261 and above
259 - 260: Top 4%
257 - 258: Top 5%
255 - 256: Top 6%
253 - 254: Top 7%
251 - 252: Top 8%
249 - 250: Top 9%
248: Top 10%

The total intake of all the IP schools is estimated to be around 5% ~ 6% of the cohort (take 400 x No. of IP school, divided by total no. of PSLE cohort).

I think this year the cohort in overall didn't do well. You can see from the drop of EESIS COP and the top 10% is now at COP 248!!

Also, you will notice that RI COP over the past few years was about 1 point below the EESIS while RGS and NYGH COPs were 1 ~ 2 points above RI or on the EESIS COP.

Therefore, we can estimate the RI COP this year is about 260, while RGS and NYGH will be around 261.

I also estimated that the COP for RVH will be either maintain or up due to their new campus and they are now \"truely\" at the west to attrach those live in the west.

HCI, DHS, ACSI COPs should go down as well. Boys' schools school such as HCI and ACSI may be affected most as their \"customers base\" is very limited and boys generally do not do as well as girls.

Anyway, we will find out on 22nd Dec. Good luck to all !! Cheers

Time to take stock for some prediction.

Your predictions have been generally correct. But good boys schools aren't affected more than other schools as you have predicted. RI has come down by 3 points. HCI by 2 points. DHS came down by 1 point only. NYGS goes up by 1 point! RGS came down by 3 points (or 5 points?). RV didn't maintained or go up, it has come down 3 points on par with other schools generally. The new campus didn't attract more sudents with higher aggregate scores. You have to take note that RV's COP is only lower than a few schools, so in order to increase COP, it has to attract students from these schools not just students generally. Moreover, their open house last year isn't in the new campus so new campus effect has probably not kicked in yet. Further, it is the success of the IP which is more important and we haven't see the outcome yet.

I noticed that NYGH has cut down their intake dramatically for 2-3 years in the 90s to around 200 students and there after their COP started to rise and has never drop back ever since even as their intake increase to more than 400 exceeding their historical record. MGS and SCGS have also history of reducing their intake thus increasing the COP.

Thanks Wei Han,

I believe we have built a methodology to predict/ forecast PSLE COP from this forum. Based on this year experience, we can certainly improve our prediction / forecast for future COPs.

Just to make some correction to your statement above. NYGH maintains its COP at 263. It doesn't go up or down. DHS's COP has dropped by 2 points from 260 to 258 instead of 1 point.

Thanks again and congrats to all parents who have your kids posted to your dream schools!
