From many friends and contacts I spoke to , it seems the fact that the Top PSLE result for 2010 dropping to 282 from 2009's 290 will not reduce the COP for 2010 application. It seems even though Top result has dropped to 282 , most students did well in 2010 PSLE exam due to the easier paper than 2009. Hence , the percentage of students scoring more than 255 this time is much higher than in 2009. Hence , COP for most IP schools is expected to increase.

:? :? :? :?

I agree with you. Spoke to many parents and found generally most kids did much better this year compared to last year despite the Top mark dropped from 290 to 282. The Top mark is really the score of the Top ONE student and has no significance on the COP. Most did better and I am expecting COP for most schools to go up this year :?

This is what I heard too from talking to some teachers during this sat open house at many schools. It seems COP will go up this year. I think I will be more careful with my first choice and go with schools with 2009 COP that matches my kid's result. I really do not want to take risk or play russian roulette with my kid's future. Just my 2 cents' worth.
