Yeah, it looks like top 10% starts from 249 then. If that's the case, there won't really be much of a drop in COP for top schools, since top 10% for last year was 248(even lower than this year's). There may not be any drop in COP scores for Top schools as such. At most, only 1 or 2 point drop, or none at all.

Taking into account the top 3% COP drops 1 point to 260. Plus a slight decrease in PLSE student, 3492. This works out to less 100 student from top 3% students. This means more vacancies for those from 259 onwards in the top schools.

Since the papers are easier this year, we should expect as the T-score gets lower, the no. of students gets bigger. So the bulk of the students in the 3% to 10% will be at the 254~249 bracket.

My guess is those schools whose last year COP T-score is 254 and below will see an increase of 1 to 3 points. While those tops schools whose T-score is above 254 last year will see a drop in of 1 to 3 points.

My 2 cents again.

please clarify what is the 3492

thanks[/quote]3492, hmm tomorrow's 4D winning no.?

lol sorry joking.

Last year cohort size 48,541
This year cohort size 45,049
Drop of 3492 students.
Thus top 3% also drop correspondingly by about 100.

If the COP for the top 10% is 249, it means the student are pack closer between 3% to 10% range.:

My guess is the top 5 to 6 schools will have a drop of COP of 1 or 2 points. The subsequent ranked schools will have higher COP of 1 or 2 points. This excludes those schools going IP like Cedar which most likely will have a higher COP.

Any KS point for guessing correctly? :cheeky:

So far, the information available are:

260 for top 3%
252 currently the lowest for top 10%. Any lower please update.

Someone posted 250 for top 10% somewhere in the forums.

Friend's dd got 249 +2. offered French/German/Jap.... top 10%?[/quote]Anyone has found a T-score lower than 249 that offers German/Jap/French?

I read in the forum last year COP for 10% i.e. offered German/Jap/French is 248.

Found a post in the 2010 PSLE report here thread that says


"Friend’s dd got 249 +2. offered French/German/Jap… top 10%?"

Anyone has found a T-score lower than 249 that offers German/Jap/French?

Someone asked in another thread whether anyone knows (feels) the number of students score above 250 has increased/ decreased.


To answer this question, we need to know what is the COP for 3rd Lang (top 10%). This COP is usually around 250. Last year was 248. With this info, we can estimate whether there is an increase/ decrease of the numbers of student scored between 250 and 259.

We already knew 260 is the top 3% (EESIS awards). Therefore the ppl scored 260 and above is 45000 x 3% = 1350

With these info, we can then estimate whether the COPs for IP and top tier O levels schools will drop/ increase by how many points.

FYI, the total vacancies of the IP schools can cater up to top 5% ~ 7% of the cohort.

if 250 remains as the magic number for the top 10% of each cohort, then those 250 and above is roughly 4500 - and take away 1350 being top 3% with EESIS, that means 250-259.9999 = 4500-1350 = 3150

Since the top 3% drops 1 point to 260 while the Top 10% COP is 250 which is 2 points higher than last year's of 248. Does this means we will encounter something different this year for schools COP point. The Top few schools COP will drop while the subsequent ones will increase as the students are pack closer together? The bell curve is no longer stretched like last year but is a packed pointy curve this year.

So the top schools will have to reach lower to get the population, while the subsequent schools will have lots of student with similar range of T-scores?

just my 2 cents after reading some of the threads on 2010 PSLE. I just hope my DD can make it to DHS with 255+2.
