Yeah My child was given those options...

Guess she takoed in ><
Hahaha. Is St Nic a good sch? Heard the principal is changing.
Anyways St Nick is a SAP sch 😃
So, 248 is confirmed top 10%.

Someone posted that his friend 248 was not offered German, French or Japs.

Can someone with 248 confirm this because we can then establish whether it is all 248 across the board is top 10% or only some 248 (due to decimal places)

Thanks

My daughter got 248 n merit...

With her maths n chinese A*, the rest A;s...
Is SCGS or st nic better?
She's taking up French if possible though....
SCGS is not a SAP school. So, the 2 points for merit in HCL cannot be used.

Not sure about St Nic, maybe it is a SAP school ?

Both SCGS & St Nic are good school.

Can confirm again that your daughter got 248 and she was offered to do French, German & Japs ?

Thanks

There are decimals, so we can actually say it is 249, since not all 248 got it.

I think you could be right in this assumption, maybe 249 is a better gauge.

I think based on what friend say may not be so accurate.

The member who posted 248 & was offered German, French & Japs are actually his/her own kid.

Where as the member posted his/her friend's kid got 248 & was not offered Foreign language. Sometimes can be confusing what they meant by foreign language

Can someone with his/her own kid got 248 or 247 post & let us know ?

Thanks

Friend's son got 248, but was not offered foreign language option, so I don't think the cut off for top 10% is 248, could be higher.


Did he check the S1 form carefully? Because it was confirmed that someone with 248 was offered.

Now that we got 248, anyone here who has a DD or DD that got 247 (or lower) and was offered French, German or Japanese ?


My DS friend got 247 and was not offered the 3rd Lang. Therefore 248 should be the COP for top 10%.

This implies 10% of the cohort which is abt 4800 pupils score between 248 to 290, quite a gap huh...

I really pray and hope that the COP this year will be lower than last two years. My first two choices for the schools are pretty \"ambitious\", first one 6 points higher, the second one one point higher. 🙏 Waiting for 22 December 2009 is really killing me 😞

My guess is 6 points is too difficult to bridge.

Most likely 2nd choice. But if 2nd choice is an affiliated school, then not so straight forward. If not many students currently in the affiliated school do well to qualify for the top school, then the number of vacancy may drop (bcos not many can leave for top school) thus increasing the COP of the affiliated school.

If your 2nd choice is not an affiliated school, then probably your kid will get 2nd choice.

But if your 2nd choice is an affiliated school, then maybe 2nd or 3rd choice.

Good luck to all of us kiasu parents !!

Based on EESIS is not accurate because it is only for Singaporean. There are Permanent Residence who got 276 but not offered EESIS.


But based on French, German & Japs language is a correct reflection of top 10%.

Anyone here who has a dd or ds that got 248 and offered French, German or Japs ?

My ds got 248 and offered French,German or Japs with only A in chinese 😄 😄

Thanks for your contribution.

It is offered if your languages are "A"s and above but I am not sure if they have a cut-off point on the "A"s as in if they must be high "A"s.

Imagine 90% of the cohort getting 247 and below. :!: And does it mean that COP for most secondary schools will be lowered?

It seems if the child is eligible to read French, German or Japanese as a third language, he/she will be within the Top 10%. I know of a girl who has 248 and has the said option. But I have yet to hear of someone with a score of 247 that has the same entitlement.


As of now, we can use 248 as the COP for top 10% this year till we have further updates to amend it.
I know of a T score = 261 who was awarded the EESIS. Does anyone know of one being awarded same with a lower T score? This will give an indication of the COP for top 3% or 5% ( I am not sure if EESIS is given only to top 3% or 5% :oops: ).
